The Outlook
I've gone back and forth on Scott this week. On one hand, he's long, hits greens, and seems to be a great fit for the course overall. On the other hand, I think par-4 scoring could be important to contend, and he's one of the worst in the field in that regard. Plus, his putting is always scary to bet on. Still, his talent gives him immense upside, and it seems those concerns are already priced into the markets. He's +15,000 to win, which seems like a great value, and his $7,600 DraftKings price tag is too low given his win equity.
