Tom Kim Striking The Ball Well Heading To Pinehurst
10 months agoTom Kim should be on the radar of fantasy managers this week as he heads to Pinehurst in solid form. The 21-year-old rising star has slowly climbed back to OWGR No. 22 after making the cut in eight consecutive starts, including a T30 at the Masters, a T26 at the PGA Championship and an impressive T4 at the RBC Canadian Open two weeks ago. He's gained strokes off-the-tee and from tee-to-green in four straight starts as well, and his short game was trending up until a disastrous putting performance en route to a T43 at last week's Memorial Tournament. Kim, a three-time PGA Tour winner, has also gained an average of over four strokes ball-striking in his last seven major appearances, and he's shown the ability to contend in Majors with a T8 finish at last year's US Open and a T2 at last year's The Open Championship. Statistically, he should be a solid course fit for Pinehurst as well, as he ranks 22nd in fairways gained, 24th on approach from 200+ yards, and 37th in weighted around-the-green play. Kim's upside, recent form, Major history, and ability to spike on the greens certainly warrant significant ownership at a mere $7,300 DraftKings salary.
