The Outlook
With the loaded field, Finau’s price has dropped $3,300 on DraftKings since his last tournament. He’s severely underpriced as the 43rd most-expensive golfer despite possessing the 11th-best Long-Term Adjusted Round Score (68.6) in the field. Finau obliterates golf balls (312.5-yard Long-Term Driving Distance), and he can hit greens with the best of them (68.6% Long-Term GIR). His main struggle will be keeping the ball in the fairway on this narrow course (56.2% Long-Term Driving Accuracy). He’s shown success in the past in difficult conditions, finishing 27th and 18th in the past two British Opens.
