Claim 1: “he has only one top 10 finish in the nine PGA Tour events he’s played in this season”
DISPUTED
The evidence provides conflicting numbers regarding the number of events played and top 10 finishes. One source states he competed in 'eight events on the PGA TOUR with one top-10', while another states he has 'finished in the top 10 once over his last ten appearances'. The claim specifies nine events, which is not precisely matched by the provided evidence, though the 'one top 10' part is consistent.
