The Outlook
Lahiri comes into this tournament with six straight made cuts and an exceptional 68.6 Recent Adjusted Round Score over the past six weeks. During that time frame, he’s hit a huge amount of GIR (69.1%) and fairways (64.3%). Considering Lahiri’s current form, I’d be inclined to have some exposure to him in DFS, although I’d likely come in underweight to the field. I’d also be willing to bet Lahiri in some head-to-head props depending on what odds and matchups are available.
