The Outlook

Kizzire got his first two wins on tour in a three-month span between November and January, but he's been pretty atrocious since then. He's missed 11 of his past 14 cuts, and he's especially had trouble with his short game. In a pressure-filled major like this, I can't imagine that turning around.
