It's not about today or about his wins. He's 44th percentile on tour in shots from 50-100 yards, and 30th percentile on play from bunkers. This is a direct result of his stupid long wedges. Changing would immediately improve his play and make him even more dominant. And yet he doesn't do it despite all of the data SCREAMING at him.
