The Outlook
Grace is guy who was on my radar at the start of the year for a solid major season, but the numbers never really hit the level I was looking for and the results didn’t ever reach the point where I felt the need to bet him. He hasn’t finished inside the top 20 in a major since the 2017 Open after a run in the majors where he recorded four top fives in eight starts in 2015 and 2016. Right now he just appears a bit off if you’re looking for an outright winner.
