6 years agoKyle Stanley is a premier ball striker who is accurate off the tee, brilliant with his irons and capable of taking advantage of courses because of his ability to score on par-fours. On top of all that, he has seen some of his best statistical performances when faced with Poa Annua greens. In his last 50 rounds compared to the field on the surface, Stanley ranks sixth in opportunities gained, 12th in ball striking, 13th in strokes gained approach, 15th in strokes gained on par-fives and just inside the top-35 when it comes to strokes gained off the tee and par-four scoring. Stanley has been a little boom-or-bust recently, but the 56th-ranked player in the world has always fared much better at birdie events than during some of the more challenging tournaments of the season. We would be shocked if Detroit Golf Club doesn't turn into a shootout and believe the American has the ball striking skills to make a run up the leaderboard and provide a contrarian golfer with immense upside. --Spencer Aguiar - RotoBaller
