Delaet Show
Has two top-5 finishes at the Barclays and one of the best ball strikers on tour.
Graham DeLaet has the unenviable tag of being one of the best players on tour yet to win but if he can stay healthy then a victory shouldn’t be far off.
Unfortunately, the Canadian seems to be made of glass, he has withdrawn three times this season including on his last start at the Canadian Open.
Reports from the event suggest his thumb injury wasn’t serious and that he pulled out once a chance of making the cut was gone.
That was a month ago, so he should be fit and ready for the Barclays.
When healthy DeLaet is capable of some excellent golf. He is ranked seventh on tour for ball striking and 20th in the all-around ranking.
Recently at the Memorial, Travelers and Greenbrier he ranked inside the top-20 for strokes gained tee-to-green and is only a good putting week away from contending.
DeLaet has two top-5 finishes at the Barclays (albeit on different courses) and is a terrific each-way bet at 175/1 (Bet365).
