Each week on GolfChannel.com, we’ll examine which players’ stocks and trends are rising and falling in the world of golf.
RISING
Ted Potter (+9%): Holding off Dustin Johnson, Jason Day, Phil Mickelson and a host of other A-listers on one of the world’s most iconic courses? That was nothing compared to surviving 24 consecutive missed cuts on the Web.com Tour, or rebuilding his career after a horrific ankle injury. A well-earned victory, to be sure.
Phil (+6%): Yes, this is the time of year that Mickelson typically thrives, but the past two weeks he has been particularly sharp – the consecutive top-5s are his first since 2013.
