Red-Hot Aaron Rai Makes John Deere Debut
5 months agoAaron Rai has been one of the most consistent players on the planet over the past two months, and he nearly capped it off with his first PGA Tour win at the Rocket Mortgage last week. The 29-year-old struggled to make big putts on Sunday to end up just one shot short of the winner, but his statistics remain admirable heading to Illinois for his John Deere debut. Rai gained an impressive 5.7 strokes on approach last week while finally finding some strong putting form, gaining 4.8 strokes with the flat stick. The Englishman will have no problem hitting the wide fairways at TPC Deere Run, as he's one of the most accurate drivers on tour. The question becomes whether or not he can keep up this putting improvement at a brand new track. Fantasy managers will need to pay a premium of $10,000 on DraftKings if they want to back Rai this week.
