Aldrich Potgieter Making Scottish Open Debut
Aldrich Potgieter withdrew from the John Deere Classic after shooting a five-over 76 in the third round, though no reason was given. He's set to tee it up again this week at the Scottish Open, making his tournament debut. Success at the Renaissance Club relies on solid tee-to-green play, approach shots, and driving distance. Potgieter is the longest hitter on tour, ranking first in driving distance, second in strokes gained off the tee at plus-0.730 per round, and 68th from tee to green at plus-0.292. However, he struggles on approach, ranking 121st at minus-0.111, and sits in just the 27th percentile for proximity from 150 to 200 yards, a range that accounted for over 41% of approach shots here last year. At $7,200 on DraftKings, he'll likely be a popular play, but the 20-year-old will face a challenge beyond just overpowering the course.
