Sahith Theegala A Big Name To Stay Away From At Sony Open
1 day agoOne of the more fruitful DFS players of 2024, Sahith Theegala is making the hour-long trip from Kapalua to Wailae to hopefully improve his T36 finish from last week. An opening round, 76 pretty much took his chances of a contention away early, but it was refreshing to see bounce-back rounds of 68-67-66 over the final three days to at least create some positive early season vibes. The 27-year-old is making his third appearance at Waialae Country Club, and given the struggles in the two previous starts, it doesn't seem to be a venue that fits his eye. Tight fairways, small-ish greens, and the potential for nasty weather don't bode well for a guy who finished last season ranked 129th in driving accuracy (59.04%) and 80th in greens in regulation (67.86%). At $10,700 on FanDuel, Theegala is never someone to write off at any event, but the glaring issues with him at this course shouldn't be overlooked and those willing to play him in lineups should expect some level of volatility.
