Si Woo Kim Heating Up Ahead of Riviera
9 months agoFantasy managers putting a heavy weight on course history this week will surely skip over Si Woo Kim. In his last three starts at Riviera Country Club, the South Korean star has two missed cut to go along with a 73rd place finish. But the year of the long shot has taught us that anything can happen, and Kim enters this year's tournament in excellent form. He's posted four top-25 finishes in his five starts this calendar year, including a T12 last week where he gained over six strokes from tee-to-green. Kim appears to be an excellent course fit as well, as he ranks 10th in strokes gained off-the-tee, 12th in approach play between 150-200 yards, and 21st in strokes gained around-the-green over the last 36 rounds. And although he's one of the worst putters in the field, he's certainly proven that random spike-putting weeks are in his repertoire. Fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised to see Kim in contention down the stretch at The Genesis this weekend.
