| Putting | MEDIUM | 2, perfect match |

Progress / Regress targets
A Progress target has ranked much higher so far this week from tee to green or on approach than his position, but much lower for putting, although over the last 12 months he has been one of the better putters in this field. His position undersells his long game, and he may climb if his putting returns to its usual level.
A Regress target is the reverse: a weaker putter whose putting so far has lifted him well above what his long game has earned, so his position may flatter him.
Each figure is a rank in this week's field over the event so far, except the last column: his putting rank over the previous 12 months. Only players in the top 50 and ties after the round are considered.
| Target | Player | After round 1 | SG: T2G | SG: Approach | SG: Putting | Putting, last 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Regress | Angel Ayora | 33 | 64 | 63 | 4 | 57 |
| Regress | Angel Hidalgo | 47 | 55 | 67 | 22 | 41 |
Progress: SG: Tee to Green or SG: Approach rank over round 1 at least 18 places better than his position, SG: Putting at least 18 places worse, and in the field's top quarter for putting over the previous 12 months. Regress: the reverse, and outside that top quarter. Putting, last 12 months: his rank among the 70 in the field for strokes gained putting over the year before the event, as the CC: SG table ranks it.
