Zecheng Dou

Not only did Dou flash some upside with three total top-3s and a win at The Ascendant in early July, but he also missed the cut in just five of his 23 starts throughout the 2022 Korn Ferry Tour season. He ranked seventh among his KFT peers in birdie average, 17th in ball striking and third in par-5 scoring. His rookie campaign on the PGA Tour in 2017-18 was a major disappointment, however, ultimately credited with just four made cuts in 23 events played as he finished 227th in the FedExCup standings.

At just 20 years old, Dou becomes the first Chinese player ever to earn a PGA Tour card after finishing 16th on the Web.com's regular season money list. A win at the Digital Ally Open made this all possible, given the fact he missed 10 of 24 cuts and only notched five top-25s throughout his 2017 campaign. It's difficult to predict much success as a rookie for the 20-year-old, although he did rank eighth in birdie average and 23rd in putting average at the Web.com level. Dou also finished T40 at the 2017 WGC-HSBC Champions event.
