Justin Thomas Shoots Friday 77 to Miss Cut at Carnoustie

Justin Thomas continued his struggles playing links golf, missing the cut at the Open Championship in excruciating fashion. Thomas opened Thursday with a two-under 69, placing him on the first page of the leaderboard and in early contention for the Claret Jug. Unfortunately, Thomas' dream of being "The Champion Golfer of the Year" was short-lived. […]

Adam Scott Posts Ninth Consecutive Made Cut at The Open

Adam Scott shot a two-under par at the Open Championship, finishing in a share of 17th place. While a top-20 showing is impressive, maybe even more remarkable is the fact that Scott has now posted nine straight Open Championship made cuts. During the nine-year stretch, the Aussie has posted four top-10 finishes, an additional four […]

Thomas Pieters Posts Top-30 at Carnoustie

Thomas Pieters has found himself on a mini heater over the past month and a half. The Belgian has now reeled off six consecutive made cuts, which includes a share of 28th place at the Open Championship last week. Pieters has had arguably his worst year as a top-level professional but seems to be finally […]

Adam Hadwin Continues to Slip in Rankings

Adam Hadwin shot a one-over par at the Open Championship, finishing in a share of 35th place. Making cuts on tour hasn't been difficult for Hadwin. In fact, the Canadian has made an astonishing 22 of his last 23 cuts, a stat that puts him into a rarified company. The issue continues to be the […]

Satoshi Kodaira Makes Surprising Cut at Carnoustie

Satoshi Kodaira entered Carnoustie in terrible form. The 36th-ranked golfer in the world had missed six of his last seven worldwide cuts but was able to put together a solid one-over par at the Open Championship to finish in a share of 35th place. Despite the terrible run of golf Kodaira has been displaying, he […]

Luke List Makes First Open Championship Cut

Luke List shot a two-over par at the Open Championship to finish in a share of 39th place. The American came into Carnoustie only having competed in four previous tournaments held on European soil, which includes List's surprising share of third place at the Scottish Open the week before the Open. With the made cut […]

Dylan Frittelli Misses Open Championship Cut

Dylan Frittelli shot an eight-over par at the Open Championship, missing the cut by five strokes. The South African opened Thursday with an even-par 71 but was unable to keep the momentum going on Friday, hurling an eight-over 79. The 28-year-old came into Carnoustie as a trendy long shot selection after making eight of his […]

Kyle Stanley Ties Career-Best Major Finish at Carnoustie

The title may make it sound like Kyle Stanley had a better showing than he indeed did. The American shot a two-over par, placing him in a share of 39th place. His best finish before Carnoustie came during the 2012 Open Championship, where he also finished tied for 39th. It is incredible to think that […]

HaoTong Li Has Made the Cut at Every Major This Year

HaoTong Li came into Carnoustie with some pretty lofty expectations after last year's third-place finish at Royal Birkdale's version of the Open Championship. While Li wasn't able to replicate his top-five result this time around, he did provide a respectable share of 39th place. With the made cut, Li has now made all three of […]

Si Woo Kim Could Not Find Any Rhythm at Carnoustie

Si Woo Kim shot a seven-over par at the Open Championship, finishing in a share of 67th place. Kim didn't play all that poorly, but he could never get things going for an extended period of time. The 23-year-old finished tied for 16th in total pars made with 48 but only ended in a share […]

Bryson DeChambeau Makes First Open Championship Cut

Bryson DeChambeau had question marks surrounding his health entering last week's Open Championship at Carnoustie. After a withdrawal during his John Deere Classic title defense because of a shoulder injury, it was uncertain if the young American would be healthy enough for the third Major of the year. Thankfully, though, DeChambeau helped to dispel some […]

Jason Dufner Starts and Ends Badly At Carnoustie

Jason Dufner shot a four-over par at Carnoustie, finishing in a share of 51st place. Dufner put together superb Friday and Saturday rounds of 70 and 68, respectively, but four-over par 75s on Thursday and Sunday bookended his tournament. With the made cut at Carnoustie, the 41-year-old extended his cuts-made streak at Open Championship venues […]

Chez Reavie Misses Another Cut

Chez Reavie's lousy run of golf continued at the Open Championship. Reavie shot a four-over par at Carnoustie, missing the cut on the number. The American fired an opening-round two-under 69 to place himself on the first page of the leaderboard but a Friday six-over 77 not only knocked him off of the first page […]

Cameron Smith Makes the Cut at Carnoustie

Cameron Smith shot a 10-over par during the Open Championship to finish in 78th place. Making it to the weekend is always a plus, but only Keegan Bradley finished worse than he did of players who made the cut. The young Aussie has been struggling since his share of fifth place at the Masters in […]

Jordan Spieth Soars to the Top of the Leaderboard

Jordan Spieth fired a six-under par 65 at Carnoustie, catapulting himself into a three-way tie for first. Spieth, who has had a frustrating season on tour, would become the youngest player in over a century to defend their Open title successfully. If Spieth is to get it done, he will have to hold off a […]

Phil Mickelson Is Running Out of Opportunities

Athletes will always have to deal with the inevitably of aging. Some players quickly find themselves over the hill, while others age gracefully and compete for a very long time at the highest level. Phil Mickelson, without a doubt, falls into the latter category. The 48-year-old has been a steady presence on tour all season, […]

Matt Kuchar Struggling Coming Into Carnoustie

Matt Kuchar rolls into the Open Championship this year showing very minimal form. The cut-making machine has missed two straight cuts in a row, which is the first time since 2011 that the American hasn't made the weekend in back-to-back events he has played. On top of struggling with his game, Kuchar may have to […]

Bryson DeChambeau Will Give Carnoustie a Try

The verdict is still up in the air on exactly how healthy Bryson DeChambeau is after pulling out of the John Deere Classic last week, but the young American is at Carnoustie and thankfully appears to be OK. DeChambeau suffered a scary looking shoulder injury during his John Deere Classic title defense, so it is […]

Luke List is Playing Well Coming Into Carnoustie

Luke List fired a 15-under par at the Scottish Open, finishing in a share of third place. The American got off to a blistering seven-under 63 start on Thursday, which just so happened to be the lowest round ever shot at the Gullane course in Scotland. Back-to-back rounds of 69 on Friday and Saturday drifted […]

Justin Thomas Will Be Lightly Owned at Carnoustie

Justin Thomas comes into the Open Championship as one of the forgotten high-end DFS plays. The young American is the fifth most expensive player on DraftKings at $10,000 but only is projected to be the 32nd highest owned player on the site. Those statistics obviously don't coincide perfectly with each other since value plays will […]

Dylan Frittelli is an Under-The-Radar Sleeper

Dylan Frittelli has the opportunity to make for a game-changing pick in large GPP fields. Frittelli is an excellent links player and is currently providing some exceptional form. The South African has been a radically different player in Europe than he has been in the United States. In Frittelli's last nine starts on foreign soil, […]

Hideki Matsuyama Still Eyes First Major

People often forget that Hideki Matsuyama is only 26 years old and has played in just 23 total Majors. Often in sports, everyone tries to figure out who the next superstar of their particular game is and crown them as the future. But in the case of an athlete like Matsuyama, when he doesn't achieve […]

Cameron Smith is Lacking Form Coming Into Carnoustie

Cameron Smith recorded a share of 42nd place at the Scottish Open last week. Smith came into the week having missed four consecutive cuts in a row, so posting any positive result can only be viewed as a good thing, but the lack of quality in the finish still makes you think that Smith is […]

Thomas Pieters Brings Good Form Into Carnoustie

Thomas Pieters' resurgence continued at last week's Scottish Open. Pieters posted his fifth straight made cut and in the process posted his first top-10 finish since January of this year. Pieters, who had fallen all the way from 34th in the world at the beginning of the year to his ranking pre-Scottish Open of 82nd, […]

Adam Scott Provides a Mixed Bag of Expectations

Adam Scott is one of the most perplexing players to decide what to do with for the Open Championship. On the one hand, Scott has made his last eight cuts at Open Championship venues and is links specialist. On the flip side of things, the Australian has dropped to 82nd in the Official World Golf […]

Jordan Spieth Will Try to Defend Title at Carnoustie

Jordan Spieth isn't entering Carnoustie looking like the player who captured the title last season. In Spieth's previous six tournaments, he has failed to post a top-20 finish and has missed two of his last three cuts. However, like any world-class golfer, Spieth is always just inches away from flipping the switch and magically refinding […]

Potential Wind at Carnoustie Will Not Slow Marc Leishman Down

Marc Leishman is arguably the most underrated player on tour. In the Aussie's last four years at the Open Championship, he has perhaps had the best tournament history of any player who has failed to capture the title. Leishman has posted three top-six finishes, which includes a runner-up playoff loss to Zach Johnson in 2015 […]

Alex Noren Looks to Capture His First Major Title

Alex Noren comes into the Open Championship with perhaps his best chance he has ever had to capture his first Major title. The 36-year-old has posted five straight top-25 finishes, and in his last start, he claimed his 10th career European Tour title at the HNA Open de France. As a result of his win, […]

PGA DFS: Vegas Report - The Open Championship

Welcome back to the PGA DFS: Vegas Report. Michael Kim, just like Kevin Na last week at the Military Tribute at the Greenbrier, gave us our second straight runaway Sunday finish. Kim made John Deere Classic history by finishing at 27-under par and breaking Steve Stricker's old tournament record by one stroke. As an additional […]

HaoTong Li is an Under-The-Radar Sleeper

HaoTong Li shouldn't be as under the radar as he is entering the Open Championship after last year's third-place finish at Royal Birkdale, but the young 22-year-old comes into the third major of the season at a price tag of $7,300 on DraftKings and an outright betting price of 125/1. The Chinese golfer has made […]
