First top-25 of season
Saunders carded a bogey-free four-under 67 in the final round of the 3M Open to finish in a share of 23rd place.
ANALYSIS
Saunders shot himself out of a chance at the victory after his finish in round three that saw him play the final seven holes in six-over-par. He ended the tournament with the fifth-most birdies in the field (24), but he just needed to avoid a couple big numbers. Saunders was outside the top-60 in FIR's and GIR's, but he ranked fourth in SG: Around and T10 in putts per GIR. This was his first top-25 in 22 starts this season on the PGA Tour. Saunders will need to close out the year really strong, starting with the John Deere Classic, if he hopes to sneak into the playoffs.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2018
2017
2016
2015
Saunders' fourth on the PGA Tour in 2017-18 and continues to show improvement. He earned just less than $600k in his rookie season of 2015 and while he took a step back in 2016, he got back on track the following season when he earned nearly $700k. He posted a career-high last season when he nearly topped $1 million. While he's definitely getting better, his progress is slow, which makes it appear as though there's not a ton of upside there. As such, Saunders isn't a great salary cap option this season.
