The Outlook
The British Open is an interesting event, as different styles can succeed there. Henley isn’t the longest hitter, but he can hit fairways (67.5% Long-Term Driving Accuracy) and greens, evidenced by his 67% Long-Term GIR over the past 75 weeks. Henley’s in terrific recent form (67.7 Recent Adjusted Round Score), and he’s fared well at both majors this season, finishing 25th at the U.S. Open and 15th at the Masters. At $6,900 on DraftKings, he’s one of my favorite plays if you’re looking below $7,000.
