Billy Horschel Searching For Consistency At Bay Hill
5 mins agoBilly Horschel has been a quintessential boom-or-bust player this year, recording three missed cuts and three top-25 finishes in his last six starts, including a T25 at the Cognizant Classic last week. He now looks to find consistency at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, an event he has played 11 times, making the cut nine times and finishing as high as T2 in 2022. To repeat this success, he will need to be sharp off the tee and excel with hitting long irons into the fast TifEagle Bermudagrass greens at Bay Hill. Horschel ranks 143rd in total driving and 66th in strokes gained on approach (0.240 gained per round). He is also in the 43rd percentile for proximity from 150-200 yards, which accounts for 35.5% of all approach shots at this course, and 158th in proximity from 200-plus yards, which accounts for 31.7% of approach shots. Given his strong track record here, Horschel is likely to make the cut, but fantasy managers will need him to sharpen his approach game for him to be a home run sleeper pick.
