Akshay Bhatia Headshot
A. Bhatia - G
Playing in the Monday Qualifier, Akshay Bhatia tossed together a smooth 66 (32-34) en route to qualifying for this week's Mayakoba Golf Classic. He will be joined by Isidro Benitez (65), Drew Nesbitt (66), and Patrick Cover (67).
Bhatia struggled to find his footing after skipping college and going directly to the pro ranks. He had missed seven straight cuts, worldwide, before posting a T13 at a LOCALiQ Series event (The Invitational at Auburn University Club) and followed it up with a T9 at the Safeway Open. Nobody doubted his long-term pedigree but a top 10 this early in his career was a hint at the potential upside he possesses. Today's round was another good sign as he twirled a low round to qualify and avoid the 67s which ended up resulting in a 9-for-1 playoff that went in the direction of Patrick Cover by day's end. As for Bhatia, he gained 2.898 strokes around-the-green and 2.953 strokes putting at the Safeway Open. That kind of short game could serve him well in an easy scoring environment like we often see at El Camaleon Golf Club.

Danny Lee Headshot
D. Lee - G
Danny Lee has withdrawn his name from the field prior to the start of this week's Mayakoba Golf Club presented by UNIFIN. Next alternate, Rhein Gibson, will take his spot in the field.
This was a late decision for the Texas resident. He posted on social media just yesterday, "My last workout before Mayakoba Golf Classic." There is no word on an injury but it can't be ruled out. He withdrew with a wrist injury from the U.S. Open two months ago, but he made four starts since then. Lee has had more than his fair share of success at El Camaleon Golf Club so he would have likely been a popular weekly option for DFS gamers. He finished T3 during the 2015 Mayakoba and solo second just two years ago. Gamers should remove Lee from all weekly lineups.

Richard Bland Headshot
R. Bland - G
Richard Bland ended on a good note, twirling a 2-under-par 33-37=70 during the finale of this week's Alfred Dunhill Championship, reaching 10-under 278 to post a share of second place on the final leaderboard.
The Englishman blitzed the course at Leopard Creek Country with opening 67s but settled for 74-70 on the weekend as the conditions toughened up. Bland circled 10 birdies on the back nine in his opening two rounds but traded just three birdies with two bogeys and a double over the weekend. Today's 70 doesn't seem that special when you look at scores to start the week but today's 70 actually lapped the field average by 4.02 shots. Bland ended the week ranked inside of the top 20 in strokes gained approach and strokes gained putting. He's quietly rounded into form with top 20s in five of his last seven starts and he'll have a chance to stay hot next week at Gary Player Country Club (South African Open).

Sean Crocker Headshot
Sean Crocker steadied an even-par 33-39=72 during round four of the Alfred Dunhill Championship, ending the week in a share of second place (10-under 278) to match his personal best on the European Tour.
The Zimbabwe-born American-resident circled five birdies and swallowed two bogeys on the first 17 holes. Then he reached the par-5 18th and stumbled home with a triple-bogey snowman. He was playing one group ahead of Bezuidenhout so he could have applied pressure with a birdie but it wasn't meant to be today. Despite the sour finish, this still ends up as a strong finish, matching a T2 at the 2019 Trophee Hassan II as his personal best on the European Tour. Crocker is currently listed in the field for next week's Golf in Dubai Championship if he wants a chance to build on this momentum.

Christiaan Bezuidenhout Headshot
Christiaan Bezuidenhout lapped the field with a 3-under-par 35-34=69 during day four of the Alfred Dunhill Championship, coasting to the top of the leaderboard to reach 14-under 274 at week's end, good for a four-shot victory, his second win on the European Tour.
There were seven golfers who posted a sub-69 score on day one and 14 more of them on Friday. Today, there was just one (Robert MacIntyre) so Bezuidenhout's 69 was good for a share of the second-best round today. That shows how much tougher the course played today as they battled two-club wind for most of the round. Bezuidenhout bettered the field scoring average by 5.02 shots today. He picked up a few pointers from Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel during a practice round at Augusta National, "they said you can't play this course the way you played it with the previous grass on it. I never thought of it that way and I just came here with a different frame of mind and I played it like it's playing now - firm and fast." This goes in the book as his second career win on the European Tour (2019 Andalucia Masters) and vaults him up to 41st in the OWGR.

Adrian Meronk Headshot
A. Meronk - G
Overnight leader Adrian Meronk dipped during round four of the Alfred Dunhill Championship, penciling a 4-over-par 37-39=76 to settle for 10-under 278 at week's end, sharing a piece of second place on the final leaderboard.
Meronk had the lead or co-lead after every round this week but couldn't deliver on Sunday. It's not surprising, given his lack of experience in that position. His previous best finish on the European Tour was a T6 at this year's Celtic Classic. The 27-year-old from Poland has shown pedigree on the Challenge Tour with a win at the 2019 Open de Portugal and a playoff loss at the 2017 Ras Al Khaimah Golf Challenge. After opening the week with 10 birdies and 3 eagles over the first 36 holes, he faded with just five birdies (no eagles) over the weekend. There are still plenty of positives to take away from this week and gamers should be eager to reinvest in future events.

Christiaan Bezuidenhout Headshot
World No. 61 Christiaan Bezuidenhout tossed together a 4-under-par 36-32=68 during round three of the Alfred Dunhill Championship, giving him a 54-hole tally of 11-under 205 to find himself in solo third place, three shots of the 54-hole leader, Adrian Meronk.
Prior to the start of the event, Bezuidenhout talked about his love for the area, "Leopard Creek is one of my favourite courses worldwide and the Alfred Dunhill Championship is one of the tournaments I’d love to win because it’s played at such a special course." He's now in a good position to make that dream happen, with 18 holes remaining. As expected, it's the short game that is leading the way for the South African. Bezuidenhout entered the week ranked 6th on tour in strokes gained putting and he currently ranks 6th in that department for the week (+2.37 SG:Putting). The 26-year-old got off to a slow start today but filled his confidence tank on the back nine with five birdies in his last eight holes. He will now try to play the role of 'intimidator' as he plays in the final group alongside Jayden Trey Schaper and Adrian Meronk who are both searching for their first win on tour. Bezuidenhout won the 2019 Andalucia Masters and will have that experience to lean on tomorrow.

Adrian Meronk Headshot
A. Meronk - G
Overnight leader Adrian Meronk slowed his pace but still managed a 1-under-par 37-34=71 during day three of the Alfred Dunhill Championship, scribbling 14-under 202 with one round to play, trimming his lead to one shot as he searches for a maiden win. 
Meronk didn't have his best stuff today but still scraped together a round that was 1.22 shots better than the field average. He settled for seven pars and two bogeys on the outward nine but recovered with three birdies and six pars on his way home. "It was a solid comeback at the end after a slow start. I didn’t really play badly, I just made those two bogeys out of nowhere. But I played well the rest of the round. I enjoyed the battle of the third round, and I’m looking forward to the challenge of the final round." The 27-year-old from Poland has just two golfers within two shots of him heading into Sunday (Jayden Trey Schaper; Christiaan Bezuidenhout) but he has six golfers in total within five shots of his lead. He'll need to keep his foot on the gas tomorrow if he wants to post a new personal best on the European Tour (T-6th at this year's Celtic Classic). Meronk ranks 3rd in strokes gained off-the-tee (+1.66) this week and 9th in strokes gained putting (+1.92).

Richard Bland Headshot
R. Bland - G
Richard Bland breezed through Leopard Creek Country Club with a 5-under-par 34-33=67 during round two of the Alfred Dunhill Championship, giving him a two-day tally of 10-under 134 which is good for a share of second place heading into the weekend.
The Englishman has split 18-of-28 fairways and landed 29 greens in regulation this week. The latter ranks inside of the top 5 on the live leaderboard, keeping things relatively stress-free without much need to scramble. He arrived with four straight starts where he pelted more greens per round than the field. His short game has been steady enough this week, gaining 1.66 strokes with the putting along the way. If gamers were following closely last week they may have been put-off by his comments on Leopard Creek, "If I can be honest, I'm not a huge fan of the bermudagrass. I played on it with the bermuda for the first time last year and I didn't enjoy it as much. But, you can't not enjoy Leopard Creek." It would appear that he's enjoying the turf much better a second time around.

Adrian Meronk Headshot
A. Meronk - G
Overnight co-leader Adrian Meronk kept his foot on the gas with a 6-under-par 33-33=66 during round two of the Alfred Dunhill Championship, taking a three-shot lead into the weekend (13-under 131).
Meronk put on a short-game clinic during opening-round action. He gained 2.16 strokes around-the-green and 3.11 strokes putting. It started with his driver, though, as he also ranked 1st in the field in strokes gained off-the-tee (+2.79 SG:OTT). He made history with that round, becoming the first Polish player to ever lead after any round on the European Tour. There wasn't any letdown today as he kept the snowball rolling with six birdies and an eagle. He now has three eagles on the week and has pieced together the co-low round on Thursday in addition to the second-best round today (8-under 66 from J.B. Hansen was the only better). It'll be hard to maintain that torrid pace but he's certainly in a strong position to post a new personal best on the Euro Tour (T-6th at this year's Celtic Classic).

Joachim B. Hansen Headshot
J. Hansen - G
Joachim B. Hansen tossed together an 8-under-par 32-32=64 during round two of the Alfred Dunhill Championship, good for the low round of the day and a share of second place at the midpoint (10-under 134) to sit three shots off the pace.
Hansen arrived fresh off his first career European Tour win (Joburg Open) but there are no signs of any hangover. He opened with a six-birdie 70 and added eight birdies (and an eagle) today. "It’s really nice to play the way I am right now and I just want to keep that going. I got it going out there and holed some good putts and kept that momentum. It’s working quite well right now and hopefully that continues for the next two days." While the putter may have been the catalyst, his entire game is firing right now, gaining strokes over the field in all four sub-categories of strokes gained at the midpoint. Today's 64 is the low round of the week thus far and he's now well-positioned to make a run at his second win in as many weeks.

Adrian Meronk Headshot
A. Meronk - G
Adrian Meronk splashed home a pair of eagles on his way toward an opening 7-under-par 31-34=65, good for a share of the lead after 18 holes at the Alfred Dunhill Championship.
The 27-year-old from Poland did most of his heavy lifting with the short clubs this week. He walked off the course gaining 2.16 strokes around-the-green and another 3.11 strokes putting. While the stat sheet suggests this was a bit unsustainable, Meronk actually felt like he left a few strokes out there, "I played really solid and had many chances to go even lower, but I’m very happy with how I played." Highlights included a pair of eagles, one from 15 feet and one via chip-in from the greenside bunker. Meronk is playing his first full season on tour and arrived with an 11-for-20 record including a solo 10th at the Irish Open and a T6 at the Celtic Classic. He'll now head into Friday with a share of the lead alongside Robin Roussel.
