Pendrith's win equity for the Truist Championship is severely depressed by critical gaps in his short game. While his SG: Off-the-Tee remains elite, clocking +1.78 strokes/round over his last five events, his SG: Putting has consistently hemorrhaged strokes, averaging -0.92/round in the same span. This chronic inconsistency on the greens, combined with a 48% Scrambling rate when missing GIR, indicates a fundamental inability to convert strong ball-striking into sustained birdie runs, let alone close out a 72-hole event against a championship-caliber field. Market implied probability for Pendrith sits at <2.5%, correctly reflecting that his putter is simply not up to championship standards. He's a top-tier driver, but a bottom-tier finisher without drastic improvement across 15-foot make percentage and par-save conversion. Sentiment: While some sharps might eye him for top-20 prop bets, outright win tickets on Pendrith are square money. 90% NO — invalid if field strength is weaker than average PGA Tour event.
