The Outlook
The Action Network's own Jason Sobel wrote a great piece this week on which golfers most elevate their games for majors. Louis was No. 3 on the list, finishing on average 8.4 spots better in majors than non-majors. For that reason alone, he's intriguing, especially since he doesn't require a large investment at $7,700 on DraftKings or 80-1 odds to win. He has the all-around game to compete anywhere, and he finished T-2 last year at Quail Hollow.
