Scouting report: Lee Elder

Why these ratings

Lee Elder's profile is defined by driving accuracy (76) — the standout number in the card. As a Grinder, Lee never gives a hole away cheaply — scrambling 73, focus 72. This is the profile that wears opponents down in singles and refuses to lose matches that drift.

Ryder Cup strengths

Lee's biggest weapons are Accuracy (76) — solid driving accuracy; Irons (74) — below-average iron play; Pressure (74) — below-average pressure. These are the attributes to lean on when picking sessions and pairings.

Weaknesses to manage

The softer spots in the card are Short game (72) and Focus (72). In match play these are the areas an opponent will target, and the reason pairing Lee with a complementary partner matters.

Best format

On the ratings, Lee's strongest session is the Foursomes. Alternate shot rewards the accuracy and control in this card — a low-mistake game that won’t leave a partner exposed.
