Daily Fantasy Golf DraftKings Picks (PGA DFS): Valero Texas Open

South Carolina native Wesley Bryan shot a final-round four-under 67 to win the RBC Heritage (-13) by one stroke over Luke Donald. The 2016 Web.com Tour Player of the Year overcame a four-stroke deficit on Sunday to claim his first PGA Tour title.

I'll be looking to continue my winning ways and most importantly, stay atop the PGA Expert leaderboard. I will be providing you with my DraftKings PGA DFS lineup picks for the Valero Texas Open. 

My goal as always is to help put together your optimal daily fantasy golf lineups. Additionally, if anyone has lineup questions before the start of the tournament Thursday morning, feel free to contact me via Twitter @Seth_Fink. For the sake of this article, my pick to win is all the way at the bottom.

 

Reviewing Last Week's Pick

Martin Kaymer ($9,500): T-32, 4-under. Was five-under after two rounds and in contention, but a three-over par third round put him 11 back heading into Sunday. However, through 10 holes on Sunday, Kaymer was seven under for the round (-9 for the tournament), before bogeying five of the last eight holes.

Tyrrell Hatton ($9,300): T-29, 5-under. Shot a 69-68-68 after three rounds and was T-9, but a final-round 74 was his undoing.

Charley Hoffman ($8,700): 4-over, cut. What a disappointing outing it was for Hoffman. He's the only one of my picks that missed the cut. Three double-bogeys did him in.

William McGirt ($7,900): T-3, 11-under. Shot in the 60s in all four rounds; 68-68-68-69

Luke Donald ($7,800): 2nd, 12-under. Was tied for the lead after the second round, but a 1-over 72 third round put him several strokes back. Donald battled back, finishing runner-up for the fifth time.

Sam Saunders ($7,000): T-11, 8-under. Posted a bogey-free six-under par opening round, but was three-over on Saturday, leaving him out of contention.

Brian Stuard ($6,800): T-56, 1-under. Made the cut, but not much noise.

Zac Blair ($6,500): T-32, four-under. Was four-under before double-bogeying the 18th on Friday, halting all momentum.

 

Valero Texas Open

Unfortunately, we have a lackluster field in San Antonio this weekend, although that doesn't mean this tournament will be a doozy. 156 players, with the likes of Matt Kuchar, Zach Johnson, and Charley Hoffman, will compete at TPC San Antonio- AT&T Oaks (TPC San Antonio has hosted the Texas Open since 2010). The course is a long –7,435 yards– par 72, featuring two par-5's, both slightly over 600 yards. The greens are also massive. The highest-priced player for the second week in a row is Matt Kuchar. Charley Hoffman is the defending champion.

Two year's ago, the weather conditions were windy and rainy making the course extremely difficult to navigate. The weather should be good this weekend, but keep in mind there will be around 10 mph winds with a slight chance of rain on Friday and Saturday.

 

High Cost Players - Fantasy Golf Lineup Picks for DraftKings (PGA DFS)

I wouldn't pick Matt Kuchar ($11,500) last week to anchor my lineup because, as I said, "I hate choosing the highest-priced player and the player who will be most owned," so I will not be choosing him again. Kuchar didn't play well until the final-round of the RBC Heritage, where he shot a low-round of 64.

I really like Brandon Grace ($10,000) this weekend. His low-trajectory missile like shots don't get caught up in the wind so his distance isn't so heavily affected by weather. Grace has played this tournament the past three years finishing T-79, T-30, and T-9 last year. He's in good form after finishing T-27 at the Masters, and T-11 in South Carolina this past week.

You could talk me into taking defending champion Charley Hoffman ($10,700) but his last three rounds, a 78 on Sunday at Augusta, and two 73's in South Carolina have me concerned.

One high-priced player should be enough for your lineup. Last week we had two middle-cost players finish one-two and I forecast a similar scenario this week.

 

Middle Cost Players - Fantasy Golf Lineup Picks for DraftKings (PGA DFS)

Billy Horschel ($8,900)

He missed the cut last week in Harbour Town, but his results the last four years in San Antonio make him must start worthy: T-3, cut, 3rd, T-4. He can also drive the ball well, T-43 in driving distance.

Luke Donald ($8,700)

He was my pick to win last week and came up just short finishing second. He played TPC San Antonio for the first time last year and finished T-13, which came after he finished second at the 2016 RBC Heritage. I see a similar happening.

Ryan Palmer ($8,600)

Palmer was T-11 last week in South Carolina thanks in part to shooting a 67 and 68 the last two rounds. His finishes since 2010 at TPC San Antonio: T-9, cut, T-32, T-15, T-56, T-6, and T-4.

Chris Kirk ($8,000)

Kirk has not finished in the top-10 all year, but that can very well change this week. In the two times competing at the Texas Open, 2015 and 2016, Kirk finished T-8 and T-13. He is over-priced though.

 

Low Cost Players - Fantasy Golf Lineup Picks for DraftKings (PGA DFS)

Daniel Summerhays ($7,000)

I have no idea how Summerhays's price is this low, but it is utterly absurd. Yes, he hasn't made a top-10 this season, but he made the cut at the Masters and RBC Heritage. His last five Texas Open's: T-29, T-7, T-2, T-4, T-13. His price was $8,300 at this event last year. He will be in every single lineup of mine and I would also put a unit on him to win the tournament at 60-1, and another unit to finish top-5 at 13-1, per sportsbook.ag. I was all over Luke Donald last week and two weeks ago I loved Justin Rose. Summerhays is my key pick for the Texas Open.

Aaron Baddeley ($6,700)

Baddeley was cut in South Carolina last weekend, but has good history here for this price. The last four years in San Antonio: T-15, T-67, T-20, T-29.

Cameron Tringale ($6,300)

This pick is because of Tringale's rich history at TPC San Antonio since 2010: T-28, T-5, T-8, cut, T-46, T-40, and T-60.

Best of luck!
