The Sleeper Report: Fantasy Golf Sleepers, Long Shots, and Undervalued Picks for the 2015 OHL Classic at Mayakoba
2015 OHL Classic Fantasy Sleeper Preview
One of the newer events on the PGA TOUR, the OHL Classic at Mayakoba, kicks off this week in Playa del Carmen, Mexico as the field hits an international venue for the third time in the past month. They will look to conquer this par-71, 6987-yard course for the ninth consecutive season since its inception in 2007 as the venue has seen its fair share low scores in the past couple of years; especially in 2014 when Harris English posted the first score better than 20-under (-21) with his victory.
English also holds the honor of largest margin of victory in this event as he defeated Brian Stuard by four strokes. He was the seventh consecutive American to grab the trophy here and last year it was Charley Hoffman who continued this trend with his win. The one-stroke win over another American, Shawn Stefani, was more along the lines of what the scores have been in the past, as during the eight years of this tourneys existence, the leader on Sunday has won by two strokes three times, one stroke once, and by playoff in three of the years.
As usual with these early season events, there are not a ton of big PGA and European Tour names that will be making the trip, and up to this point no player has been able to hoist the trophy more than once. The top ranked player in the field will be No. 16 Matt Kuchar as he makes his 2015-2016 season debut. Also joining him will be last year’s champion, Charley Hoffman, and one of the winners from this season and a future staple on TOUR; Smylie Kauffman.
If it were to be a non-American that breaks through this week, it would be fitting for one of the few Mexican or Latin American players in the field to get it done south of the border. There are some talented names in this group as well with 2014 Web.Com TOUR Player of the Year Carlos Ortiz hailing from Guadalajara, Mexico while being joined by Angel Cabrera (2-time Major Champion), former PGA TOUR winner Jhonattan Vegas, and four-time PGA TOUR victor Camilo Villegas from nearby South American countries.
This week the field is chalk full of names that would be considered sleepers by most, so let’s take a look at a few now and try to find a break-through player who could enjoy a nice payday come Sunday afternoon.
