ERIC COLE NEWS

Top-10 finish at ZOZO Championship Cole finished in a tie for sixth place at the ZOZO Championship following a four-under 66 in the final round.

Impact Cole once again lost strokes off the tee, but once again gained strokes on approach, around the greens and with the putter. This is now his sixth top-20 finish in his last 11 starts. Cole has yet to find the win column on the PGA Tour, but when he does I doubt it comes as much of a surprise given the amount of quality showings he has put up in these last two years.

Strong weelkend at Sony Open Cole fired a four-under 66 in the final round of the Sony Open to finish in a tie for 13th place.

Impact After making the cut easily, Cole went 10-under in the final two rounds and shot up the leaderboard as a result.
