The Outlook

Fitzpatrick doesn’t have much of an Open resume early in his career. As with many of the British golfers, we have to pay a bit of tax for them being close to home for this major. He’s in the same range as Tony Finau and Louis Oosthuizen, but he hasn’t shown that type of ability yet in these big tournaments. As such, he's probably a better investment in DFS.
