It’s so easy to keep up with Gary Woodland, greatest-ever University of Kansas golfer, thanks to [pgatour.com][1]. It has statistics in every category for every touring pro, offers shot-by-shot descriptions during tournaments, and supplies video highlights.

Yet again, Woodland gave his fans plenty to follow with a terrific performance in the Honda Classic. He made bogey on the final two holes Sunday and had to settle for a tie for second place with Morgan Hoffmann, four strokes behind winner Rickie Fowler, but that finish was a rare blemish on a spectacular weekend for Woodland.

Hunch: Woodland will contend The Masters in early April.

He moved from 10th to sixth on the 2017 PGA tour money list with $1,928,837 in earnings in eight tournaments, bringing his career earnings to $15,834,165. He’s seventh in the FedExCup standings and 30th in the Official World Golf rankings, up from 41st.

Woodland’s tied for 17th on the tour with an average drive of 304.3 yards with a long drive of 403 yards. He’s 22nd on tour in made putts from inside 5 feet (98.03 percentage).

The following four videos of Woodland all were from the Honda Open:
