J.J. Spaun Offers Upside Despite Poor Course History at Innisbrook
After a slow start to the year, J.J. Spaun finally posted his first top-25 result of the season at The Players, finishing T24. He looks to carry that momentum into the Valspar Championship, where he has played four times, missing the cut in three of those appearances. Success at Innisbrook typically hinges on accuracy over raw power, along with strong approach play and putting. Spaun ranks 96th in total strokes gained (-0.236 per round), 58th on approach (+0.246), and 34th in driving accuracy. He also sits in the 88th percentile in proximity from 150-200 yards, a range that accounted for 41.2% of approach shots here last year. TPC Sawgrass was the first event where he gained strokes with the putter (+1.8), as he still sits 151st overall in putting. Spaun may have finally broken free from what held him back earlier in the season, and despite poor course history, he presents as a decent (though likely popular) play at $8,700 on DraftKings.
