Sam Burns Is An Interesting Name To Watch At Pinehurst No. 2

Sam Burns has turned in two solid weeks with a T10 at the RBC Canadian Open and a T15 at The Memorial Tournament last week. In that time, he's mostly posted positive strokes gained metrics across the board. However, he did average -0.35 strokes gained on approach at Muirfield Village, which will need to be […]

Cameron Young Is Hard To Trust At A Difficult U.S. Open Setup

From tee to green most weeks, Cameron Young does enough right to draw some attention at a demanding venue like Pinehurst No. 2. However, it should be noted that the 27-year-old has lost strokes with his irons in four of his last five starts. Things fall off severely on and around the greens, as he […]

Hideki Matsuyama Fits Pinehurst No. 2 Like A Glove

It has been a solid year for Hideki Matsuyama, but there is still a ton more to play for as this week's United States Open plays into his skill set as much as any course he's seen all year. Pinehurst #2 will be the most demanding test around the greens that players will see this […]

Max Homa Is An Interesting Play At Pinehurst With A Good Driving Week

Max Homa is one good week with the driver away from contending in another tournament. He's managed a top 25 or better every time he's gained strokes off the tee in any manner all season. Much of that is thanks to fairly consistent ball striking over the last few months, however, the work around the […]

Collin Morikawa One Of The Heavy Favorites At U.S. Open For Good Reason

It is a strong argument to say Collin Morikawa is the best player on the planet without a win in the last two-and-a-half months. He was the only player that gave Scheffler a scare this past week at The Memorial Tournament down the final few holes, and really, he's knocked on the door at almost […]

Jon Rahm An Easy Fade At U.S. Open

As if the bad play in non-LIV events wasn't enough to have cause for concern about playing Jon Rahm (foot) in fantasy lineups, his recent withdrawal from the Saudi League's event in Houston with an infection in his left foot should. The Spaniard has still not secured a victory on his new circuit and has […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2024 Memorial Tournament

It has been a great week in Dublin, Ohio in the place that Jack Nicklaus built at Muirfield Village. The tournament that always seems to deliver thrilling moments has provided more of the same through the first three rounds. It has been a tough grind for the world's best players, making for good preparation for […]

Cameron Young Is A Total Fade At The Memorial

Since his tie for ninth at The Masters, Cameron Young has been riding the struggle bus in almost every facet of his game besides his typical struggling putter of all things. He has lost strokes around the green and on approach in three of his last four starts, and going right along with that is […]

Russell Henley Taking A Load Of Confidence To Muirfield Village

Russell Henley is no stranger to Jack's place, as the PGA Tour journeyman has played an event here eight times between this tournament and the one-off event played here on back-to-back weeks in 2020. His performances have been everywhere on the spectrum with only three missed cuts, though he's never cracked the top five. The […]

Byeong Hun An Is A Borderline Must-Play At The Memorial

Things are starting to come together for Byeong Hun An as he makes a ninth career start at this famed event hosted by the Golden Bear, Jack Nicklaus. He has been feast or famine over his time at Muirfield Village, having never finished outside the top 25 when making the cut. Simply put, when An […]

Sahith Theegala An Intriguing Play At Muirfield Village

Considering Sahith Theegala's bizarre performance dips in both putting and ball striking, they never seem to occur at the more demanding courses. Aside from a T45 finish at Augusta, he has finished inside the top 15 at Harbour Town, TPC Sawgrass, Bay Hill, and Valhalla this season. From a statistical perspective, Theegala ranks 13th in […]

Justin Thomas Looking To Keep Hot Streak Going At The Memorial

Justin Thomas has put together a decent string of good finishes over his last three events (T8, T21, T5) since missing the cut at The Masters. Compared to the field this week at Muirfield Village, over the last 12 rounds played by every competitor, JT is ranked second in strokes gained around the green (+8.47), […]

Viktor Hovland Looks To Defend At Jack's Place

For Viktor Hovland, 2024 hasn't been as fruitful as last season when the 26-year-old won three times, including back-to-back victories to close the year and win the FedEx Cup. Most of it can be traced back to the odd shuffling of coaches since then, however, having returned to former instructor Joe Mayo has seen a […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2024 RBC Canadian Open

The PGA Tour returns to the country that gave the world ice hockey, peanut butter, and IMAX Theatres for the RBC Canadian Open. Through three rounds, the leaderboard has seen a heavy amount of turbulence with most players struggling to keep the hammer down from round to round. The third round saw Ryan Fox and […]

Kevin Yu In For A Long Week At RBC Canadian Open

Aside from a few splashes of form, Kevin Yu has been an unreliable source for DFS players this season. He is a beast off the tee, but with a putter, he couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat (156th in strokes gained putting: -0.536). It's been the downfall of every tournament so […]

It Is Full Steam Ahead For Davis Thompson At RBC Canadian Open

After a missed cut at the first of the month, Davis Thompson has strung together a couple of solid finishes at the Myrtle Beach Classic (T2) and the Charles Schwab Challenge (T17). His ball-striking tee to green has been world-class, averaging +0.876 strokes gained off the tee and +0.76 strokes gained on approach over his […]

Erik Van Rooyen Looking To Ride With The Hot Putter In Canada

It has been an impressive year on the greens for Erik Van Rooyen, as the South African ranks 17th in strokes gained putting (+0.505). A statistic in which his best previous finish was 64th in the 20-21 season. He is holing putts from everywhere (9th in average distance of putts made: 80'6") and striking the […]

Keith Mitchell Looking For Any Signs Of Life With Putter In Canada

For everything Keith Mitchell has done well ball-striking-wise--and he's done a lot--horrendous putting has negated a thick majority of it. He currently ranks 7th on the year in strokes gained off the tee (+0.795) and 11th in strokes gained on approach (+0.597), but, the flipside is a 154th ranking in strokes gained putting (-0.383) and […]

Sam Burns Looking To Have Bounce-Back Performance In Canada

It was an abysmal outing on the greens at the PGA Championship for Sam Burns. The former LSU Tiger lost five shots with the putter through rounds one and two--his worst putting performance since November 2022. It's hard to imagine we see the same struggles on the greens at Hamilton Golf and Country Club, and […]

The Range Of Outcomes Is Wide For Shane Lowry At RBC Canadian

Coming off a T6 at the PGA Championship thanks to a career-best 62 on Saturday that propelled him to only a couple of shots back going into the final round, Shane Lowry heads north to this week's Canadian Open with more questions than answers. Yes, he had a quality finish in a major, but, he […]

Round 4 PGA Showdown Slate Picks - 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge

The PGA Tour is concluding its final event in Texas for the 2024 season tomorrow at the newly renovated yet timely classic Colonial Country Club. The excitement and flash we saw a week ago at Valhalla have been much more subdued here at a less-getable venue and much windier conditions. The lead sits alone with […]

Rafael Campos A Risky Play At Charles Schwab Challenge

It isn't that there's nothing to like about where the game is at for Rafael Campos right now, as his T9 finish at the Byron Nelson would attest to. He gained over six shots on the greens at TPC Craig Ranch over rounds one, two, and four. His third-round score of -2 and losing -2.67 […]

Lucas Glover A Healthy Option At Charles Schwab Challenge

From a statistical perspective, Lucas Glover couldn't be more ready for a strong week at Colonial. Aside from dodgy putting, he checks all the boxes for what works around this track: accurate tee balls (sixth in driving accuracy: 74.92%), solid approach play from shorter distances (10th in approaches outside of 100 yards), and a great […]

Can Hayden Springer Turn Things Around At Colonial?

The thing with golf is it only takes one week for a player's life to change. But building confidence and consistency takes a very long time to wrangle in. For Hayden Springer, there is still a long way to go on both fronts. As a PGA Tour rookie via Q-School, things have been slow, as […]

Tyson Alexander Needs More Than A Putter At Colonial

On the greens, Tyson Alexander is one of the best on tour (ranked 26th in strokes gained putting: 0.454), but everything else leaves much to be desired. The irons and woods have gone pretty crooked which doesn't present enough scoring opportunities for the wedges and putter. It takes the total package at this level, or […]

J.T. Poston Is Risky But Has A Lot To Like At Charles Schwab Challenge

The last couple of weeks have not been kind to J.T. Poston, but what's a guy averaging 288 yards off the tee (ranked 162nd on Tour) supposed to do on 7,400+ yard courses? The interesting part though, is the part of his game that's let him down the most over his last two starts has […]

Round 4 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2024 PGA Championship

After the whirlwind of emotions that Friday's events brought to Valhalla Golf Club, the exciting day we were treated to on Saturday did everything it could to restore focus on the year's second major. The final day will begin with a jam-packed leaderboard that features Colin Morikawa and Xander Schauffele tied at the top with […]

Russell Henley An Interesting Name At PGA Championship

There has been a sizable shift in the golf game of Russell Henley over the last month and a half. He began the year by saving most of his rounds on the greens, which has now transitioned to the irons, as he is averaging 1.102 strokes gained on approach over his last four starts. The […]

Corey Conners A Real Dark Horse At PGA Championship

In the world of "safe plays," it doesn't get much better than Corey Conners. He's 12-for-12 on made cuts in 2024 and is coming off a solid performance at Quail Hollow, ranking second in the field in strokes gained on approach (1.75) and fifth in strokes gained from tee to green (1.86). The course setup […]

Can Sungjae Im Keep The Momentum At Valhalla?

It has been a good run for Sungjae Im over his last three events. A few quality finishes to go along with a win on the KPGA circuit have him riding some high waves into Louisville, Ky. Most of the recent success has resulted from a scorching-hot putter that gained him over six strokes on […]
