Each week on GolfChannel.com, we’ll examine which players’ stocks and trends are rising and falling in the world of golf.
RISING
Adam Long (+8%): Seemingly the third wheel Sunday with Phil Mickelson and Adam Hadwin, all the 31-year-old rookie did was chip in twice on the back nine, play a remarkable shot from a tough sidehill lie on 18 and then roll in a cold-blooded 15-footer for the win. He sure didn’t look like a guy with one career made cut on Tour.
Phil (+6%): Mickelson’s game plan in his 2019 debut was to “crush” drivers, and he did – he led the field in driving distance while showing plenty of speed.
