Frys.com Open Golf Tips: Richard H Lee
Hasn’t finished outside the top-25 in his last five tournaments and recorded a career best T6 at the JT Shriners last week.
As a rookie on the PGA Tour, Richard H Lee must be full of confidence after he recorded his best finish of the year at the JT Shriners last weekend.
A final round 65 propelled him into a tie for sixth but don’t expect him to be resting on his laurels as his playing rights are still in jeopardy.
Since the start of August, the 25-year-old has hit a purple patch of form. Including tournaments on the Web.com Tour, he’s finished T12-T14-T22-T2-T6 in his last five events.
Ranking 13th for driving accuracy and 19th for GIRs, his game lends itself to more tactical golf courses. CordeValle should therefore suit his game. It ranked a meagre 275.8 yards for average driving distance last year, the second shortest on tour.
If his putter stays hot then Richard H Lee could go close at 80/1 (Bet365). Back him each-way with ¼ odds for a top-5 finish.
