The Outlook

Stanley is reasonably long off the tee (295-yard Long-Term Driving Distance) and accurate (69% Long-Term Driving Accuracy). Further, he’s an excellent ball-striker, hitting 69.6% of greens in regulation (GIR) over the past 75 weeks. Overall, Stanley is one of my favorite longshot bets and DFS plays considering he ranks 22nd in Strokes Gained: Ball-Striking and 20th in par-4s gained. With the importance of hitting GIR and fairways, it’s difficult not to lay some action on a guy who ranks fourth in fairways gained and fifth in GIR gained on tour this season.
