The Outlook
Reed has been lights-out since March, averaging a +27.69 DraftKings Plus/Minus with a 75% Consistency Rating. He’s crushed at the majors this season, finishing fourth at the U.S. Open and winning the Masters, which makes me optimistic about his potential this week. Reed can be sporadic off the tee, hitting just 56.6% of fairways over the past 75 weeks, along with ranking 106th in Strokes Gained: Off-The-Tee this season. However, he makes up for it around the green, avoiding bogey or worse on 60.3% of holes over the past 75 weeks and ranking third in Strokes Gained: Around-The-Green this year.
