Putnam's win equity is critically low. His YTD SG:T2G sits at -0.35, insufficient for contention in a field of this caliber. While his short game is solid, his SG:Approach at merely +0.1 forces an unsustainably high make-rate on putts. The market's >150:1 outright odds accurately reflect his <0.65% implied win probability. This isn't a putting contest; it's a T2G battle. Sentiment will ignore the data. 95% NO — invalid if field strength drops below Top-50 OWGR average.
