Masters Dark Horses: 10 Under the Radar Picks for Augusta

Kevin Kisner

OWGR: 46th

Odds: 125/1

At 33-years-old, the late-blooming Kisner has yet to find the top 10 at a major championship, but given his career arc to this point, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him have a successful week at this year’s Masters. The Georgia product is a deft ball striker and a sporadically magnificent putter, making him a great under-the-radar pick to slip on a green jacket.

With just eight career starts under his belt, Kisner isn’t a total stranger to major success — he tied for 12th at the 2015 U.S. Open and for 18th at last year’s PGA Championship, results that could have been significantly better with a few more lucky bounces. Perhaps more importantly, his form has taken a sharp turn for the better in recent weeks. With a solo 11th at the WGC-Mexico Championship, he outplayed many of the opponents he’ll face at Augusta next month. It was also his fourth top 25 in his last five starts.

While he’s not yet a household name, it looks like Kisner just might have the game to become one by the end of Masters week. If the putts continue to drop, he’s more than capable of making a serious run at the title.
