If I’m running just one lineup in tournaments, I’d likely fade Kuchar. But, it’s hard to ignore his consistency. He was major chalk at the Masters, but his salary has increased $800 on DraftKings for this event.
He’s not going to dominate off the tee, but he still ranks ninth in total strokes gained, including 10th in Strokes Gained: Approach over his past 50 rounds. Further, there are eight par 4s ranging from 400-450 yards and 450-500 yards at Bethpage, and Kuchar ranks ninth and sixth in par-4 efficiency from those distances, per Fantasy National.
Despite his lack of length, Kuchar is still relatively efficient on par 5s, averaging -4.9 adjusted strokes on them over the past 75 weeks. Overall, Kuchar checks every box I’m looking at this week with the exception of driving distance.
