Stock Watch: Desert golf hot; chainsaws ... just say no
Each week on GolfChannel.com, we’ll examine which players’ stocks and trends are rising and falling in the world of golf.
RISING
Abu Dhabi (+8%): It’s easily the most compelling tournament this week – Jordan looks to continue his multi-continent dominance, Rory tries to send an opening statement and all of the big names pose for a delightfully awkward photo shoot.
Fabian Gomez (+6%): The journeyman from Argentina doesn’t always have the goods – the Sony Open win was just his fourth top-10 in his last 87 starts – but when he does, he makes it count. He’s on his way to Rio after seven birdies in a row, a macho 30-footer on the last for a 62, and a gritty playoff victory over Brandt Snedeker.
