Kanaya's recent T2, T4 on JGTO shows formidable domestic form, but his PGA Tour translation is historically insufficient. His T49 at ZOZO and MC at Sony reveal a significant SG: Total performance deficit against even deeper PGA Tour fields. The market is overvaluing his Japan Tour success, failing to adequately discount for the substantial leap in field strength and consistent T20-contending prowess required for an alternate event. His limited US track record lacks the necessary upside volatility for this outcome. 85% NO — invalid if the course plays under 7000 yards and nullifies driving distance.
