The focus on the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club has shifted after Xander Schauffele’s win in the PGA Championship. Unlike Valhalla, the course at Colonial is characterized by shorter approach shots and a greater emphasis on accuracy rather than length off the tee.
Last week, driving prowess was emphasized, but this week, success will depend on players who excel with their second shots. To be successful at Colonial, key metrics include Strokes Gained: Off the Tee, Driving Accuracy, SG: Approach, SG: Putting, Scrambling, and proximity on approach shots.
Despite Scottie Scheffler being the favorite to win, Tony Finau is a strong contender to win this week. Finau has a history of performing well at this course and has shown strong ball-striking ability in recent rounds. His length off the tee and improved putting performance make him a solid bet to win the Charles Schwab Challenge.
