Nicolai Hojgaard Shows Off Improved Irons In Scotland
1 year agoThe 22-year-old from Denmark, Nicolai Hojgaard, had his best strokes-gained-approach performance of his young PGA career in the Scottish Open last week, gaining 7.1 strokes with his irons and wedges. Even more impressive was that 4.13 of those strokes gained were on Sunday in extremely windy conditions that saw most of his competition falter. Hojgaard's putting still remains an issue, but there's clear upside in the youngster's game, as evidenced by a runner-up finish at the Corales Puntacana back in March, when he gained 14.7 strokes total. It might be a bit much to ask for Hojgaard to match his recent approach gains when he heads to Royal Liverpool for his third career Open Championship start, but fantasy managers could do worse when looking for ball-striking upside at a $7,100 price tag on DraftKings.
