Austin Eckroat A Player To Watch At TPC Scottsdale
10 months agoAustin Eckroat is in solid recent form heading into the WM Phoenix Open. The 25-year-old Oklahoma State University alum has gained total strokes and made the cut in five-straight starts, including a T23 at the World Wide Technology Championship, a T8 at the RSM Classic, and a T25 at The American Express. He's also riding hot on the greens, having gained 2.6 and 5.6 strokes putting in his last two starts. Eckroat should find himself in good position off-the-tee as he ranks 15th in good drive percentage over the last 36 rounds, and his success this week will likely be determined by his notoriously streaky approach play. With a mere $7,000 price tag on DraftKings, fantasy managers should strongly consider getting some exposure to Eckroat and hope his momentum carries over to Scottsdale.
