7 years agoJhonattan Vegas has had a rough seven-tournament stretch which includes two missed cuts, a group-stage loss at the Dell Technology Match Play and an MDF finish at the Shell Houston Open. Vegas will hope to turn his luck around this week at the Valero Texas Open. In his last 24 rounds compared to the field, Vegas is 130th in birdie or better gained and 98th in greens in regulation gained. If you aren't hitting greens in regulation, naturally you won't have an easy time scoring, so those two stats coinciding for a struggling player is not a surprise. What is a surprise is how short Vegas has been off the tee so far this season. We are still early in the year and not all courses have provided trackable data for this statistic, but Vegas is only 114th on tour in average driving distance compared to 33rd in 2017 and 14th in 2016. The course this week should allow Vegas to freely bomb away with his driver and the potential is there for a turnaround. He is unusable in cash games but provides very big upside in GPPs at his $7,300 price tag on DraftKings.--Spencer Aguiar - RotoBaller
