The Outlook
Fox has been running hot of late. He finished T-6 at the Scottish Open and second in the Irish Open a week before that. Additionally, Fox possesses a 68.3 Recent Adjusted Round Score over the past six weeks. He can hit GIR (71% over the past 75 weeks) and bomb the ball (315.9-yard Long-Term Driving Distance). However, Fox struggles to hit fairways (49.3% Long-Term Driving Accuracy), and he struggles to recover around the green, evidenced by his 39.1% long-term scrambling rate. Given the lack of balance in his game, he’s likely someone I'll end up avoiding at Carnoustie.
