The Outlook
Vegas' main weaknesses are with accuracy: He's hit just 62.4% of greens and 57% of fairways in the past 75 weeks. In the short term, he's hit just 57% of greens in regulation. That just won't fly at a links-style course like Carnoustie, unfortunately. I won't be looking to invest in him in DFS or the betting market.
