Significant Info To Be Aware Of 

The weather last year was bad and many players struggled.  With conditions set to be fair this week, don't be put off if anyone struggled in the wind and rain last year.

Many players will be using this week as a warm up for next week's Open Championship.

Continue to exercise caution in relation to Covid-19 related withdrawals. 

Weather Forecast 

Looks set to be dry most of the week with minimal wind and moderate temperatures.

Thursday
Light cloud and a gentle breeze. Wind 4-8mph 

Friday
Light cloud and a gentle breeze. Wind 3-10mph 

Saturday
Light cloud and a gentle breeze. Wind 4-11mph 

Sunday 
Light rain and a gentle breeze. Wind 5-10mph 

Trends 

Winning score 
Winning scores the past two years have been hugely different due to weather conditions.  Aaron Rai won with -11 last year after horrendous weather on the Saturday.  Bernd Wiesberger won with -22 in 2019.

Winning Profile 
Since this event has been staged at Renaissance Club, the two winners have been 183rd and 83rd in the world rankings.

Correlating Courses  
Although different courses, both players have a solid bank of Irish Open performances.  Not something to hang your hat on but of interest.

Course form 
Rai had missed the cut in 2019 so no obvious preference towards course form.

Recent form 
Both winners had been runner up in their last start.  Recent form appears to be a huge bonus.

Nationality 
No obvious nationality traits. 

Stats Analysis 

SG: Off The Tee
Rai was 17th and Wiesberger 50th.  A solid driver is preferred.

Driving Distance 
62-29. Distance isn't essential.

Driving Accuracy 
29-48. Driving Accuracy isn't perceived as essential but as always it helps.  

SG: Approach
Rai was 26th and Wiesberger was 3rd.  Strong iron play is important. 

Greens in Regulation
5-30. Confirms the importance of strong iron play.

SG: Around The Green
Rai was 12th but Wiesberger was 81st.  A bonus but not essential.

SG: Putting
36-32.  You need to at least to solid with the putter to win here.

In Play 

Tough Holes 
The 18th hole played as the 2nd toughest in 2020 and toughest in 2019.  The 2nd played the toughest last year.  The 8th, 9th and 11th have all featured in the top 5 hardest holes the past two years.

Birdie Holes 
The par 5s all played under par and the short par 4 5th hole played 3rd easiest last year.

Fast or Slow Start 
Neither of the two champions at The Renaissance have been inside the top 28 after Round 1.  Bernd Wiesberger led from halfway onwards in 2019 but Aaron Rai was 28th after 36 holes and 10th after 54 holes.  However, conditions in Round 3 last year were awful so we should remember that the results last year should be treated with a degree of caution.

Closing stretch 
The 16th offers an easy birdie but the final two holes both played over par in 2020 and can cause problems.
