Jay Kinney proposed a wager on Kevin Yu at 40-to-1 for the Mexico Open based on Yu’s driving distance—averaging over 315 yards—and consecutive top-20 finishes. Kinney acknowledged that Yu’s performance depends on his putting but believes his overall form and power off the tee make him a strong bet in a field lacking clear-cut favorites.

Rick Gehman highlighted Kevin Yu’s elite iron play, noting he has gained over a stroke on approach in each of his last five starts. While putting remains a weakness and has led to missed cuts, Gehman believes the paspalum greens at Vidanta Vallarta could mitigate that deficiency. Yu’s strong finishes at tougher events (T16 in Phoenix, T17 at Riviera) suggest that in this weaker Mexico Open field, he could be poised for a high DFS return.

Rick Gehman labeled Kevin Yu a top-tier iron player and a potential difference-maker in DFS lineups. While Yu’s putting remains a liability, Gehman noted that paspalum greens may neutralize some of his weaknesses. With multiple top-20 finishes and consistent approach gains, Gehman believes Yu’s upside in this weaker field outweighs the putting concern.

All of these factors make Yu a strong value play in Kannon’s eyes.
