The Outlook

Knox is off my radar this week despite his decent play of late. He’s made just one cut at PGA Championships and possesses mediocre long-term metrics: He’s averaging just 10.8 birdies per tournament, +1.2 average adjusted strokes on par 3s, +0.9 average adjusted strokes on par 4s, and a measly -2.7 average adjusted strokes on par 5s. He's missed 38% of his cuts over the past 75 weeks.
