Cameron Champ Looks To Continue Success At Silverado
While Cameron Champ did win this event in 2019, he comes into this year's Fortinet Championship filled with question marks. Just three starts ago, Champ seemingly won the 3M Open out of nowhere. But since then, it has been a bit of a mixed bag from the three-time PGA Tour winner. Champ is coming off […]
Andy Lack 3 years agoHank Lebioda Trending In The Wrong Direction
Hank Lebioda had a nice little run over the summer when he finished 13th, 51st, 17th, 31st, fifth, fourth and eighth in seven consecutive starts. Since then, however, Lebioda has missed back-to-back cuts. The Florida State product's hot streak always felt like it was unsustainable given how much he was relying on his putter. Lebioda […]
Andy Lack 3 years agoMarc Leishman Not Worth The Risk At Silverado
Marc Leishman is a proven winner who is certainly one of the more talented players in this field based on pedigree alone. With that being said, the Australian has struggled all season to find any semblance of consistent form, and while he has popped with top-fives at the Travelers, the Masters, and the Sony Open, […]
Andy Lack 3 years agoMito Pereira Not Worth The Price Of Admission
Mito Pereira has become a trendy pick in golf circles this week, but buyer beware on the young Chilean. Pereira is being priced like he is a proven PGA Tour player, yet he has only recorded seven career starts on Tour, and he has missed the cut in four of them. There is no denying […]
Andy Lack 3 years agoStephen Jaeger Could Impress At Silverado
While Stephen Jaeger has yet to become a household name, he is certainly one to watch in the 2021-2022 season. In 35 starts on the Korn Ferry Tour, he won twice and finished runner-up on four other occasions. He finished inside the Top 10 in one-third of his starts and won the regular-season points title. […]
Andy Lack 3 years agoMax Homa Not Worth The Risk At Silverado
While Max Homa has experienced a great deal of success in his home state of California and on poa greens, it's hard to ignore how poorly he has been playing. Since finishing sixth at the Memorial in the beginning of June, the two-time PGA Tour winner has zero top-20 finishes and two missed cuts in […]
Andy Lack 3 years agoWill Zalatoris Is Not The Best Fit For Silverado
While Will Zalatoris is an undeniable talent who will certainly win on tour soon, we are dubious about his chances at the Fortinet Championship. The 24-year-old is a far more logical option to deploy on longer and more difficult courses because he is such an elite ball-striker, and more specifically, long-iron player. Unfortunately, Zalatoris has […]
Andy Lack 3 years agoJon Rahm Is Simply Too Expensive At Fortinet
At $12,100 on DraftKings, Jon Rahm is the highest-priced golfer on the slate by over $1,000. There is no denying that Rahm is the best player in this field, but unless fantasy managers are convinced that the recent U.S. Open champion will win this tournament, he makes very little sense to deploy at this price […]

Andy Lack 3 years agoAbraham Ancer Makes Loads of Sense at East Lake
Abraham Ancer certainly makes sense on paper at East Lake. Over his last 36 rounds, the recent WGC - FedEx St. Jude Invitational winner ranks 11th in greens in regulation gained, second in fairways gained, and ninth in bogey avoidance. He is also coming off a ninth-place finish at the BMW Championship where he gained […]
Andy Lack 3 years agoPatrick Cantlay Coming off Historic Putting Performance at BMW Championship
Last week at the BMW Championship, Patrick Cantlay gained 14.6 strokes putting, good for the best putting performance of the shot-link era. While regression with the flat-stick feels imminent, Cantlay is still capable of relying on his ball-striking. The UCLA product profiles well for East Lake statistically, ranking first in this field in scrambling, third […]
Andy Lack 3 years agoSungjae Im's Game Is Trending in the Right Direction
Sungjae Im is certainly rounding into form. Last week at the BMW Championship, the former Honda Classic winner gained 1.5 strokes off the tee, 3.4 strokes on approach, 0.8 strokes around the green, and 6.2 strokes putting en route to a third-place finish. Im is also a fantastic fit for East Lake. Over his last […]
Andy Lack 3 years agoDespite Nice Performance at BMW, Dustin Johnson Still Hard to Trust
Despite rebounding last week with a sixth-place finish at the BMW Championship, Dustin Johnson still carries a lot of question marks. The ball-striking just isn't there right now, and two-time major winner had to gain 5.8 strokes putting to secure last week's result. Johnson is at his best when he does not have to rely […]
Andy Lack 3 years agoBryson DeChambeau's East Lake Record Leaves a Lot to Be Desired
In three appearances at East Lake, Bryson DeChambeau has finished 19th, 12th, and 22nd. The nine-time PGA Tour winner is certainly a good enough player to compete anywhere, regardless of whether the course fits his game on paper. With that being said, East Lake definitely falls into the category of a course that is not […]
Andy Lack 3 years agoBilly Horschel Should Not Be Considered at East Lake
Despite an incredibly impressive resume at East Lake that includes a win in 2014 and a second-place finish in 2018, Billy Horschel's recent form leaves a lot to be desired. Horschel is coming off a 52nd-place finish at the BMW Championship where he lost 1.4 strokes off the tee and four strokes on approach. His […]

Andy Lack 3 years agoErik Van Rooyen Will Disappoint at BMW Championship
While Erik Van Rooyen is coming off an impressive seventh-place finish last week at the BMW Championship, there were a a lot of smoke and mirrors to that performance. Van Rooyen gained 0.1 strokes ball-striking, and 8.7 strokes short game and putting. It's certainly safe to say that his putter will regress this week. While […]
Andy Lack 3 years agoXander Schauffele is an Excellent Option at Caves Valley
Caves Valley appears to be a fantastic fit for Xander Schauffele. Over his last 36 rounds, the recent Olympic Gold medalist ranks fourth in strokes gained par fives, seventh in sand saves, fourth in three putt avoidance, and sixth in driving distance. Schauffele has also experienced a great deal of success of Bent-grass greens, and […]
Andy Lack 3 years agoWebb Simpson Not the Best Option at Caves Valley
I have my concerns about any player that is below average off the tee in this field at Caves Valley, and Webb Simpson certainly fits that bill. Of the 70 players competing this week, Simpson ranks 48th in strokes gained off the tee and 63rd in driving distance over his last 36 rounds. The former […]
Andy Lack 3 years agoExpect an Exhale from Cameron Smith at BMW Championship
Last week at the Northern Trust, Cameron Smith lost in a playoff in heartbreaking fashion. While it was an excellent ball-striking week for the Australian, Smith has not shown us enough consistency in that department for me to have any confidence that such a performance is repeatable the next week. The course fit is not […]
Andy Lack 3 years agoKevin Kisner Should Not Be Considered at Caves Valley
While Kevin Kisner is often an excellent option on shorter courses, I have my concerns about the four-time PGA Tour winner on longer courses due to his below average length off the tee and long iron play. Over his last 36 rounds, Kisner ranks in the bottom ten of this field in strokes gained off […]
Andy Lack 3 years agoCaves Valley Is Not the Best Fit for Jordan Spieth
While Jordan Spieth certainly has the game to compete anywhere, Caves Valley is not an ideal fit for his skillset. Compared to other players in his price range, Spieth is by far the worst mid to long iron player, ranking 64th out of 70 players in this field in proximity from 200 yards plus. The […]
Andy Lack 3 years agoMarc Leishman an Appealing High Risk High Reward Option at BMW Championship
Marc Leishman is certainly a risky player to roster, and he has definitely let down more fantasy managers this season than he has pleased. With that being said, this is a great buy-low spot for the six-time PGA Tour winner. Leishman has proven before that he can win on longer courses with narrow fairways and […]
Andy Lack 3 years agoSungjae Im Is Quietly Rounding Into Form
While most fantasy managers only think to deploy Sungjae Im on short, Bermuda-grass courses in the south-east, he checks a lot of boxes for the task at hand this week. After a rocky start to the season, the former Honda Classic winner's ball-striking has really rounded into form. Im has gained over a stroke off […]
Andy Lack 3 years agoViktor Hovland an Excellent Option at Caves Valley
Viktor Hovland definitely has the game to succeed at Caves Valley. Over his last 36 rounds, the two-time PGA Tour winner ranks first in this field in proximity from 175 yards plus, seventh in strokes gained off the tee, and 15th in fairways gained. Hovland is one of the longest and more accurate drivers there […]
Andy Lack 3 years agoQuestion Loom for Collin Morikawa Ahead of BMW Championship
After Collin Morikawa missed the cut last week at the Northern Trust, it was reported that he had injured his back at the Olympics, which has hampered his play over the past few weeks. This certainly makes sense, as Morikawa has not even remotely resembled his usual self since returning from Tokyo. The two-time major […]
