The Outlook

On our Flex podcast this week, Sleeze mentioned that Bellerive could play as a miniature U.S. Open. If that's the case, Fleetwood is definitely in play: He's finished in the top five in each of the past two U.S. Open events.

Further, PGA Championships put a little more emphasis on driving, and Fleetwood ranks third this season in Total Driving. He absolutely has the game to win this event, and he's way underpriced at $9,300 relative to his upside.


The Metrics

Here's how Fleetwood ranks in the PGA Championship field in several key metrics. For many more, be sure to check out the FantasyLabs PGA Models.
