Sahith Theegala A Major Wild Card At Pinehurst
5 months agoSahith Theegala has been knocking on the door of his second PGA Tour victory in recent months. The current OWGR No. 11 has finished inside of the top-20 in eight of his 16 starts in the 2024 calendar year, including runner-up finishes at The Sentry and RBC Heritage. Like any rising star, he does struggle with volatility, as evidenced by the finish positions over his last six starts reading T12, CUT, T12, T52, CUT, 2. It's difficult to tell if he'll end up being a solid course fit at Pinehurst this week, as he ranks 18th in total driving and 14th in weighted approach play over the last 24 rounds, yet 100th in weighted around-the-green play and 79th in scrambling. Theegala has also missed the cut in two of his last three US Open appearances, but he did post a T12 in his most recent start at the PGA Championship. Fantasy managers choosing to embrace Theegala's volatility and upside may wish to choose the route of limited exposure this week.
