Fade Kevin Yu In Japan
2 months agoKevin Yu's first PGA Tour victory at the Sanderson Farms Championship two weeks ago certainly feels like fools' gold. Prior to that win, dating back to July, the OWGR No. 74 missed the cut in three of seven starts, while failing to finish inside of the top-20 in those appearances. In his only start following his lone victory, Yu missed the cut in a watered-down field at the Shriners Children's Open, losing 1.5 strokes on approach and 3.5 strokes putting. He finished T59 in his only start at this event last year, and there's no reason to think his result will be any different this year based on his statistical course fit. Of note, he ranks 41st in good drive percentage, 36th on approach, 43rd around-the-green, 50th in bogey avoidance, and 65th in Bentgrass putting. Fantasy managers should avoid Yu at the 2024 Zozo Championship.
