Let's take a look at the strokes gained golf stats to see how Dustin Johnson won the RBC Canadian Open.
Length used properly
Johnson's advantage has always started off the tee, but the wins arrive when the long game advantage is converted rather than wasted.
Conversion means wedges finishing inside fifteen feet and putts from that range dropping at a normal rate.
The quiet category
Around the green performance rarely makes headlines and frequently decides tournaments. Saving par from the few missed greens keeps momentum intact.
That steadiness is what turns a strong ball striking week into a trophy.
For your game
If you are long but score inconsistently, the fault is almost never the driver.
Track proximity from inside 125 yards and up and down rate. That is where the conversion happens.
