Stats Analysis
Long Game - J.C. is a long driver, averaging 316 yards. If he is going to make waves in a European Tour event it will likely be one with wide fairways and low scores. He was ranked 34th for GIR on the Sunshine Tour in 2019.
Short Game - Ranked 9th and 2nd the last two years putting average on the Sunshine Tour
Trends
Goes best when fresh - It is worth noting that three of J.C's five wins to date (April 2020) have come after he has had at least a week off (1 week, 2 weeks and 6 weeks) so he can win when rested.
Major & WGC Analysis
Major's - J.C. is yet to play in a Major.
WGC's - Came 2nd last in his only WGC appearance.
Pressure Performance Rating
Summary - J.C. is yet to make his mark in Europe but looks more than capable of winning should an opportunity arise. He's a proven front runner having won his 2nd tournament wire to wire and converting a 54 hole lead for his 4th win. His Golf Betting Club Pressure Performance Rating is set at 3 stars on the basis of his record to date in South Africa and the fact he is unproven on the European Tour.
Playoff Record
3-0. J.C. has been in 3 playoffs in his career and won them all, this is a young man who knows how to take care of business in a playoff situation.
