The Outlook
Kraft really isn’t an option this week. He was ice-cold before a runner-up finish at The Greenbrier got him in the field. He’s never played in the Open Championship and has only two starts in a major. He made the cut in both events, but hasn't finished better than 58th. I just don’t see a reason to invest anything in him this week.

Here's how Kraft ranks in the British Open field in several key metrics. For many more, be sure to check out the FantasyLabs PGA Models.
