The Outlook
Charl just doesn’t do much for me. He hasn’t been consistent this year in many regards. He’ll pop up on a leaderboard from time to time, then vanish for a month or two before resurfacing. He gets a lot of respect in these big fields as a Masters champ, but he’s missed four of his last six cuts in the majors and has never finished in the top 10 at the PGA Championship in 12 starts.
