There's a lot of love being heaped on Kurt Kitayama as a long-shot outright winner for this week's WM Phoenix Open. The 31-year-old star has certainly proven he can compete with the best, as he's racked up seven top-10 finishes and a victory at the elevated Arnold Palmer Invitational in his first two seasons as a PGA Tour pro. But Kitayama has flashed limited upside since his T4 finish at the PGA Championship in May of 2023, having only posted one top-20 finish in his twelve starts since. He's generally known as an excellent long-iron player and enters the week having gained strokes on approach in five-straight starts, but he'll need to find some magic with his putter to have any chance at contending this week. Kitayama has lost strokes on the green in ten-straight starts, however, he did gain over three strokes putting at this course last year en route to a T23 finish. Fantasy managers will face a tough choice weighing recent form, course history, and pedigree when evaluating Kitayama this week.--Ryan Hickey
