ORLANDO, FL – MARCH 20: Kevin Chappell of the United States hits his tee shot on the second hole during the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational Presented by MasterCard at Bay Hill Club and Lodge on March 20, 2016 in Orlando, Florida. (Photo by Chris Trotman/Getty Images) /

Kevin Chappell’s proven himself at Bay Hill over the years. He notched his best finish of his six total starts when he finished just a shot back of Jason Day.

In total, Chappell has three top-25s and tied for 49th in his last start at the API in 2017.

Even when he missed the cut in 2013, he still had an ace!

Chappell’s had a very solid 2018, going 5-for-5 (along with a start at the no-cut Tournament of Champions) in cuts made with two top-10s and no finishes lower than 31st.

Few are hitting the ball as well as Chappell (fifth in strokes gained tee-to-green) is right now. If he can avoid throwing away shots around the greens, he’ll be in line to win for the second season in a row.
