The Outlook

Over the past 75 weeks, Fisher has hit an impressive 71.6% of GIR, but I have trouble believing he can compete with this loaded field on expected fast, dried-out greens, considering his 30.5 Long-Term Putts Per Round and 44.5% Long-Term Scrambling rate are among the worst marks in the field. Fisher has miraculously made cuts in six of his 10 British Open appearances, but he did miss the cut at Carnoustie when it hosted this event in 2007.
