The Outlook
The jury is still out as to whether Kim’s victory at last year’s Players Championship was the start of something big or the lone chart-topper from a career one-hit wonder. I’ll stick with the former until proven otherwise, but it’s tough to see this week being the next big step on the journey toward stardom, considering he missed the cut in his only previous Open Championship start.
The Metrics
Here's how Kim ranks in the British Open field in several key metrics. For many more, be sure to check out the FantasyLabs PGA Models.
