• Short Game B — a step below the pool average in the 2025–26 pool; 64 of the other 95 players in the pool rate higher. Scrambling around the green — chips, pitches, and bunker shots that save par.
• Putting D — the clearest weak point in the profile in the 2025–26 pool; nearly the whole pool rates higher. Holing putts, especially the ones inside ten feet that turn pars into birdies.

• At A, Clanton's engine rating is among the very best in the pool (94th percentile of the 2025–26 pool) — only 6 players in the pool rate higher. Stamina and durability across a long season — fewer withdrawals, less late-year fade.

Tour Winner. A solid tour winner's profile — no glaring weakness, a rating comfortably above the pool average, and enough all-around game to be a threat most weeks without a single standout attribute.
