The Outlook

The last time a professional event was held at Bellerive, Brian Gay finished T-13. That was 10 years ago, when the BMW Championship was played on this site. The course should be longer and firmer this time around, but if it’s set up short, then Gay can at least post a few good scores and try to relive that moderate success of a decade ago.

The Metrics

Here's how Gay ranks in the PGA Championship field in several key metrics. For many more, be sure to check out the FantasyLabs PGA Models.
