The Outlook

Snedeker withdrew from the John Deere Classic with a “hand injury.” Whether that injury is legitimate or not remains to be seen. This may depress his ownership in DFS, which would make him a bit more appealing. He’s one of the better putters in the field (28.6 putts per round over the past 75 weeks), ranking 38th in Strokes Gained: Putting this season. Snedeker has historically fared well in tough major championship conditions, and he’s made four cuts at the British Open in his last five appearances.
