Kurt Kitayama A Boring Play At RBC Heritage
8 months agoExcept for a brief scare at the WM Phoenix Open, Kurt Kitayama has been a mainstay on the bottom half of leaderboards, almost weekly. If safely getting all six guys to the weekend is your strategy, he's your guy. Just know that in this case, a high floor comes with a low ceiling, especially at an event that has turned into a birdie fest occasionally. On paper, Harbour Town fits Kitayama's game like a glove, as he ranks 25th in strokes gained off the tee (0.425), 34th in strokes gained on approach (0.435), and is one of the best long iron players on tour for proximity between 150-200 yards that make up almost 47% of the approaches. At $8,200 on FanDuel, he's a fine addition to a lineup, however, the evidence is there to temper expectations for what DFS players will get in return.
