CAMERON PERCY

I’ll go right back to the well with Percy this week after showing a considerable spike in SG Approach with proximity last week finishing at T11. You might remember Percy being mentioned around the Greenbrier.

The Australian veteran who clawed his way back to Tour Status has put together a recent performance that includes 2.2 SG Off the tee, 1.2 Approach and a whopping +4.2 SG Total over his last 5 events. He’s coming in hot with good form, and at a minimum price, he sure looks like a strong play to make it into the weekend.

HARRY HIGGS

Harry lit up the KFT in 2018 earning north of $330,000 with 5 top-ten finishes and a win at the Price Cutter challenge. Many expected him to start out hot on Tour, but after last week’s missed cut at the Sanderson, he might go overlooked.

Over his last 5 events, he’s gained +2.3  SG total. He was exceptionally wild off the tee at the Sanderson, but because this particular instance does not require many long bombed drivers, I can envision a bounce-back scenario at a pretty low salary in terms of fantasy. 1.3 SG Approach gained between Sanderson and Greenbrier, this is a number we like for scoring.
