The Outlook
Grillo missed the cut at the U.S. Open, but he finished right on the cut line. His missed cut at Shinnecock Hills was his only missed cut in his 15 events since January. Considering his overall consistency, I’m willing to go back to the well with him on DraftKings at his dirt cheap price. Grillo ranks 23rd this season in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green, and his driving accuracy (68.1%) could be key here if/when the winds pick up at Carnoustie.
