Chris Kirk A Safe Option For RBC Heritage
7 months agoChris Kirk should be one of the safest options on the board this week. The 38-year-old PGA Tour veteran has made the has made the cut in eight out of nine starts so far this calendar year, including his sixth Tour victory at The Sentry in January to go along with five additional top-30 finishes. He played well at the Masters last week, gaining over five strokes to the field en route to a T16 finish. Kirk should also put himself in solid positions at a course that requires precision off the tee, as he ranks 18th in driving accuracy and seventh in good drive percentage over the last 24 rounds, and he's capable of spike rounds with his irons and putter on any given week. He missed the cut in two of his last four RBC Heritage starts, but he did notch T7 here back in 2021. Kirk's recent form and win equity should be coveted by fantasy managers this week and could handsomely reward managers choosing to invest at his $7,700 DraftKings salary.
