Max Homa Not Playing The Greatest as British Open Looms

It has been a tough fight for Max Homa the past couple of months. He missed the cut in several tournaments including the PGA and US Open. He did play better at the Rocket Mortgage Classic and finished off the tournament with a solid 68 to finish tied for 25th. Again, the problem with Homa […]

Jason Kokrak Intriguing Golfer Heading into British Open

Jason Kokrak is capable of putting well and putting some rounds together at the non-majors. He won the Charles Schwab on Memorial Day Weekend with an even-par 70 as he contained himself well when it mattered most. The problem is that at the majors, Kokrak has not had the same composure. He missed the cut […]

Scottie Scheffler Contending at British Open Very Possible

Scottie Scheffler has the game to thrive at the British Open. Look at his record over the past few majors and major-like tournaments. He has the ability to stay in these championships and fight well. There is the tied-8th at the PGA, the third at The Memorial, and the tied for seventh at the US […]

Matt Wallace a Bit Dicey Heading into British Open

Matt Wallace missed the cut at the PGA and US Open in his last two majors. The English golfer did finish tied for sixth at the Wells Fargo Championship two months ago. His ability to hit from tee to green is solid but some unforced errors via tee shots have been problematic. Wallace had fewer […]

Brendan Todd May Have Some Upside at British Open

Brendan Todd does not hit the ball long but he hits it straight. Todd tops the PGA Tour in driving accuracy at 75.2%. He also gains 0.792 strokes while putting which ranks second. What are the problems then? Simply, the American golfer has to get to the green to make the putts. Greens in regulation […]

Lee Westwood Might Falter Over Weekend at British Open

The concern with Lee Westwood is not how he starts but really how he finishes. The 48-year-old has been great in his last few majors on Thursday and Friday. Saturday and Sunday tell a different tale. He shot a 77 on Sunday in particular at the PGA Championship. Then, at the US Open, it was […]

Francesco Molinari Has Upside at British Open

Francesco Molinari has struggled on the PGA Tour but looked great at the US Open nearly finishing in the top ten last month. His tied for 13th could have been even greater if not for a 76 in the second round. Molinari had a top-five weekend on one of the toughest courses out there. He […]

Sergio Garcia One to Watch at British Open

Sergio Garcia has never won the British Open but did come in second twice -- in 2007 and 2014. He also has a top ten or two at Royal St. George (last in 2011). He has had some nice final rounds as well shooting a 68 in 2011. That day, his putter was working well […]

Henrik Stenson in Awful Form Heading into British Open

Henrik Stenson has played just two tournaments since the PGA Championship where he finished outside the top-60. He missed the cut in both without shooting under par in any of those four rounds. That offers little hope for the British Open. It just seems that this pandemic has sapped whatever game Stenson had. Yes, he […]

Danny Willett May See Weekend at British Open

Danny Willett has endured a rough three-month stretch since a top ten in the Caribbean. The key for the English golfer this week will be taking advantage of his around the green game (third on tour with over a half stroke gained). If Willett can just drive somewhat decent off the tee and make a […]

Chez Reavie Might Struggle at the British Open

Though Chez Reavie had a nice top-20 finish this weekend at the John Deere Classic, the Open and links golf is a different challenge. The only thing Reavie can excel at which will help is driving accuracy. He ranks fourth on tour at 72.9%. Reavie will have to hit greens early and putt well. That […]

Paul Casey May Be One English Look to for Hope at British Open

Paul Casey carries some value at 30 to 1 and has contended in his last two majors with a top-5 and top-10 (PGA Championship and US Open). Casey has played well enough to win but again some missed shots and a faulty putter kept him from winning the PGA in particular. Casey has one of […]

Tommy Fleetwood Looking to Bounce Back at British Open

Tommy Fleetwood never really got the putter going at the US Open and it cost him a good finish. He did play the weekend and wound up 50th at +8. However, a bunch of missed putts hurt what was a pretty good ball-striking weekend. Fleetwood must putt better and maybe being close to home will […]

Bryson DeChambeau One to Stay Away From at British Open

Bryson DeChambeau is not even among the favorites this week in a golf tournament. Part of that is because "The Open" and DeChambeau have never quite mixed. He fared poorly two years ago and expectations are not that high this year. Since the Arnold Palmer tournament, the golfer has just one top-ten finish. His FedEx […]

Rory McIlroy One of the Favorites at the British Open

Rory McIlroy is coming in third or fourth in most oddsmaker books this weekend at the British Open. 15 to 1 odds is reasonable under the circumstances. He hits the ball further than most everyone at just over 318 yards a drive. His tee-to-green game is still one of the best in the world. McIlroy's […]

Billy Horschel A Risky Choice at the British Open

Billy Horschel has not played in four weeks. The last tournament was the US Open where he missed the cut after a 74-75. He barely made the cut at The Memorial then blew up with an 82-73 weekend. It might be a short stay for Horschel across the pond if he keeps hitting errant shots […]

Ryan Blaney Enjoys Atlanta Again

Ryan Blaney did it again at the Quaker State 400 on Sunday. He did not lead a single lap but managed a fifth-place finish anyway. Blaney did not have the greatest of starts, but he did climb eventually to 14th after Stage 1. His car was adjusted for downforce, and Blaney rose to seventh after […]

Alex Bowman Stays Near The Top All Day At Atlanta

Alex Bowman was as consistent as William Byron normally is on Sundays. Bowman was in the top five most of the afternoon. He was fourth after Stage 1 and third after Stage 2. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing Driver never did lead a lap but did pretty much everything else. A couple of times saw Bowman […]

Martin Truex Jr. Finishes In Third Place At Atlanta

Martin Truex Jr. struggled too often lately. On Sunday, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver showed that maybe he just has to drive. He went from lurking around the top 10 to a third-place result on Sunday. This was essential. He did accumulate three points between the first two stages. Though the No. 19 driver did […]

Kyle Busch Loses Battle of Busch Brothers at Atlanta

Kyle Busch will not be sending a Christmas card to Ross Chastain this season. Chastain of Chip Ganassi Racing blocked Busch while his elder brother, Kurt, got on by. From there, the younger Busch had to settle for second place on Sunday at the Quaker State 400. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver led 91 laps […]

Kurt Busch Wins Battle Of Busch Brothers At Atlanta

This was one of the more unexpected races of the 2021 season as Kurt Busch showed signs of contending once again. He was surprisingly leading the race early and often. The No. 1 racked-up laps led. In all, the Chevy car topped the standings for 144 laps. That included the most important one -- the […]

NASCAR DFS Prop Picks for 7/11 - PrizePicks

Hello everybody and welcome! We hit the Quaker State 400 from the Atlanta Motor Speedway course in Atlanta, Georgia this week and another edition of NASCAR DFS on PrizePicks. Now, that means our new friends over at PrizePicks have a TON of great props we can look to take advantage of. PrizePicks is a great […]

NASCAR DFS Prop Picks: Quaker State 400 - Monkey Knife Fight

Sunday afternoon features the Quaker State 400 from Atlanta, Georgia. Monkey Knife Fight has an extremely easy fantasy point system: 0.1 points for each lap led and then a set amount of points for their position (20 for 1st place, 19 for 2nd place, 18 for 3rd, and so on). Our friends at Monkey Knife Fight offer […]

Bubba Wallace Not a Bad Idea at Atlanta

For what it is worth, Bubba Wallace is gradually improving in 2021 with 23XI Racing. This has been no easy process but Wallace does have five top 20 finishes in his last five non-road races. The No. 23 even nabbed a fifth-place result during the Sunday Pocono race. That tri-oval is never an easy one […]

Erik Jones Expected to Maintain Track Position at Atlanta

Erik Jones likely will not come close to contending at Atlanta even though he has a decent record on intermediate tracks with a 13.9 average finish and one win. The problem is that does not seem to apply to Atlanta that well. He moved up one position this year in the first race (24th to […]

Kevin Harvick Still Looking for First 2021 Win at Atlanta

Kevin Harvick has not won a race in 2021. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver does have eight straight top-ten finishes on non-road courses. Harvick also has four top-tens in Atlanta including a tenth this year. He starts 21st on Sunday and represents an excellent opportunity at place differential. That is just at a minimum. The No. […]

Aric Almirola Could Have Chance to Move Up at Atlanta on Sunday

Aric Almirola is always a risk for DFS it seems this season, unfortunately. Some extraordinarily bad luck has hurt but at Atlanta, Almirola does have one top-ten finish in four races. The problem is that is just a 25% success rate. For him to have more upside, he probably has to be around tenth at […]

William Byron Place Differential Very Real For Sunday at Atlanta

The other question could be whether William Byron can contend. However, starting 19th on Sunday immensely helps for place differential alone. He will likely move into the top ten fairly quickly. One thing for the Hendricks Motorsports Racing driver will be not to crash into his teammate. Byron wound up finishing 33rd after starting from […]

Chris Buescher Might Inch Up on Sunday at Atlanta

Chris Buescher starts 18th on Sunday at Atlanta. The first race in 2021 saw him start 17th and finish seventh. Conventional wisdom says that alone is worth a closer look. The problem is that the Roush Fenway Racing driver since Kansas and Darlington (8th and 9th) cannot seem to put two races together. Worse, the […]

Alex Bowman Has Good DFS Upside at Atlanta

Alex Bowman has a way of just showing up out of nowhere to do well at races like Atlanta. He started 14th in the first race and contended until very late finishing third. It is more than just that result, however. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver won the Saturday race at Pocono thanks to a […]
