Tom Kim Striking The Ball Well Ahead Of Travelers
6 months agoTom Kim's ball-striking and recent form will likely land him squarely on the radar of fantasy managers this week. The 21-year-old rising star increased his consecutive cuts made streak to nine after his T26 performance at the US Open, which was also his fourth finish inside of the top-26 in his last five starts. In those five starts, Kim gained an average of 4.4 strokes ball-striking, and that trend is likely to continue this week, as he ranks 14th in fairways gained, first on approach from 125-150 yards, and 12th overall in weighted tee-to-green play. In his only appearance at the Travelers Championship last year, he disappointed with a middling T38 result. But if he can marry his elite ball-striking with a spike putting week, it could result in Kim's fourth PGA Tour victory when all is said and done on Sunday evening.
