Kevin Yu Needs Early Season Form At Valspar Championship
8 months agoKevin Yu missed the cut at last week's The PLAYERS Championship, making it his third missed cut in the previous four appearances. This starkly contrasts his form at the beginning of 2024, where he finished in the top ten in two of his first three tournaments. It's worth noting that he tied for ninth at the Cognizant Classic between the three missed cuts. Yu will return to the Valspar Championship this week for the first time since 2022, where he missed the cut. Yu has been struggling lately, and over the past 12 months, he has ranked in the 48th percentile in proximity to the hole on approach shots from 150-200 yards in the fairway. This is important because over 34% of approach shots came from this distance at last year's tournament. Although Yu has shown excellent form at times this year, he may be difficult to trust in DFS lineups this week, given his recent struggles and multiple missed cuts.
