The Outlook
I like Smith’s game any time wedges from inside 100 yards become a determining factor of performance, but it doesn’t seem that will be the case this week. In fact, Smith seems like a guy who might’ve been born 20-25 years too late. In an era when Corey Pavin and Justin Leonard were stars, Smith would have excelled. Today’s game is obviously more power-driven.
