Each week on GolfChannel.com, we’ll examine which players’ stocks and trends are rising and falling in the world of golf.
RISING
Marc Leishman (+7%): Often solid but unspectacular, Leishman came through when it mattered most, burying a long eagle putt to steal the Bay Hill title. The celebration was extra sweet, after his wife’s serious health issues over the past two years.
LPGA (+5%): What’s gotten into the ladies (and course setup crew)? Anna Nordqvist became the latest player to go crazy-low on the women’s tour; three of five events this year have been won with at least a 22-under total.
