Cameron Champ Will Attempt To Get Back On Track
6 years agoAfter the DFS industry fell in love with Cameron Champ towards the end of 2018, the 23-year-old has fallen flat on his face to begin 2019. Four missed cuts in nine events have been mixed in with no top-25 results since the 33-man Sentry Tournament of Champions to start the year. The 96th-ranked player in the world is still raw when it comes to courses that require more than just bludgeoning the ball, but we are willing to give him a pass at some of the tests where he has failed at recently. Champ's appearance this weekend at Quail Hollow will be the first in his career, but his game should finally find a home for what he does well. Compared to the field in 2019, the American enters the week ranked sixth in strokes gained off the tee, second in driving distance and third in par-five scoring. His around the green game does raise massive red flags, coming in at a paltry 139th, but we should expect to see some fundamental issues with players in this range and are trying to grab golfers that have the upside to get hot for four rounds and hopefully overcome whatever defect that has been plaguing their game. Champ fits that criteria and is worth a flier in GPP events on DraftKings.
