The Outlook

Chappell has had an injury-plagued season, which may explain a lot of his inconsistencies this year: He's missed six cuts in his 10 tournaments since April. That said, he may be on the upswing after a sixth-place finish at the British Open.

I’m a bit skeptical this is the spot to fully buy back in, however. He’s struggled on par 4s, averaging +1.2 average adjusted strokes, and his 9.9 bogeys per tournament is one of the higher marks in the field over the past 75 weeks.
