Why these ratings

Brad Faxon's profile is defined by putting (84) — the standout number in the card. As a Precision player, Brad prioritises finding fairways and greens — accuracy 78, iron play 78. That control is gold in foursomes, where mistakes are shared, and on tight courses that punish the crooked driver.

Ryder Cup strengths

Brad's biggest weapons are Putting (84) — strong putting; Accuracy (78) — solid driving accuracy; Irons (78) — solid iron play. These are the attributes to lean on when picking sessions and pairings.
