Emiliano Grillo
Price: $7,000
Grillo missed the cut in his debut at the Players last year, but lets' take a closer look at that. He averaged 304.8 yards off the tee, hit 78.57 percent of fairways and had a 75.00 GIR percentage. For comparison, Jason Day, the tournament's winner, was at 311.6, 58.93, and 72.22, respectively. It was a tee-to-green clinic from Grillo, but he was done in by atrocious putting, as he lost 3.596 strokes with the flatstick in just two rounds.
Here's the encouraging part. Grillo has gained strokes with his putter at the last two tournaments that track that stat (Arnold Palmer Invitational and last week's Wells Fargo Championship) and appears to be finding a comfort on the greens. If he combine last year's performance on the fairways with his recent putting, he's going to be a steal at $7,000. (Getty)
