The Outlook
After great performances at the Masters, Players and U.S. Open this year, it seemed like Fleetwood would be almost an auto-bet at the next big event. However, he's now coming off two subpar results on the Euro Tour in weaker fields, and he has poor history specifically at British Opens. He's the rare European player who excels on U.S. tracks rather than links-style Euro events, as he's one of the best drivers of the golf ball in the world. It's hard to justify a bet given his inflated odds at this point, and the same goes for DFS since he'll be quite popular in tournaments.
