Chandler Blanchet's Korn Ferry Tour (KFT) performance dictates a firm "no" here. He’s logged an abysmal 7/9 missed cuts (MC) in 2024, with his sole positive finish being a T50 at the Astara Golf Championship. This isn't just poor form; it's a structural deficiency against a KFT field, let alone a PGA Tour alternate event. His implied Strokes Gained profile from these finishes is deeply negative, signaling a complete mismatch for a Top 20. The step-up in field strength, even diminished, will expose severe ball-striking and short game inefficiencies. A player ranked 185th on the KFT points list, struggling this significantly, holds virtually zero probability for a Top 20 finish against PGA Tour caliber competition. This bet is a clear fade. 98% NO — invalid if he posts a round of 65 or better in R1.
