Lee Hodges Debuts At BMW Championship
1 year agoLee Hodges finished T31 at last week's FedEx St. Jude Championship and looked poised to finish better than that after firing a two-under 68 in the first round and a five-under 65 in the second round. However, he followed with a two-over 72 in round three and a one-under 69 in the final round, but it was enough to see him through to the second leg of the FedEx Cup. This will be his first appearance at the BMW Championship, and Olympia Fields will provide a stern test for all golfers. Hodges is worth consideration for fantasy lineups, but it's worth noting that 42% of approach shots last year were taken from 125 to 175 yards in 2020 (the last time the BMW Championship was held at Olympia Fields). This year, Hodges ranks in the 40th percentile in greens in regulation on approach shots from 100 to 150 yards in the fairway, so he comes with some risk.
