Fade Ryo Hisatune At 3M Open
4 months agoRyo Hisatune has been on the radar for many fantasy managers in recent months. The 21-year-old Japanese up-and-comer was named Rookie of the Year for the 2023 DP World Tour season, becoming the first Japanese golfer to receive the award since 1960. He joined pretty good company with past award winners, including John Rahm (2017), Sergio Garcia (1999), Colin Montgomerie (1988), and Nick Faldo (1977). Hisatune has shown some promise with three top-25 finishes in his first 20 starts on the PGA Tour, but his recent form should be alarming to fantasy managers. He's missed the cut in three of his last six events, with his best finish being a T31 at the Rocket Mortgage Classic in late June. Perhaps even more alarming, he's lost strokes putting in five straight events, and it's hard to imagine him keeping pace in what's anticipated to be a birdie-fest this year. Fantasy managers should eliminate Hisatune from their player pools this week and consider the plethora of higher-upside golfers with better recent form in the low-$7,000-range on DraftKings this week.
