The Outlook

Na is a tough golfer to analyze this week. He’s not long off the tee (285.8-yard Long-Term Driving Distance), but he can hit fairways (64.6% Long-Term Driving Accuracy).

Even though he’s hit just 64% of Greens in Regulation over the past 75 weeks, he’s one of the best scramblers and putters on tour: His 62.7% long-term scrambling rate is the sixth-best mark in the field and his 28.6 putts per round in the same time frame ranks 13th.

Na could be worth a look in some head-to-head props depending on the odds, and I think he’s a serviceable play in DFS if you need the savings.
