It is a long course coming in at 7,457 yards par of 72. Driving % and ball striking will be key here as the fairways narrow and wind can become a factor.

Studs 🔥

  1. Phil Mickelson (12.4k FD/10.2k DK) Some say he is old, I say experienced, he is 8/9 at this course on cuts. 8th in the field in GIR and 17th in putting. Lines up for a solid showing this week.

  2. Justin Rose (12.6k FD/11.4k DK) I like how he has played thus far this season. He also has great course history here, 4/4 at this course. Current form + great course history = stud play.

  3. Henrik Stenson (11.9k FD/10.5k DK) He is 5th in the field in driving% and 13th in putting. with 4 /5 times making the cut here I’ll play the odds and add him to some lineups this week.

Mid-Price Value Plays 💰

Bargain Barrel 🍀

  1. Corey Conners (8.6k FD/7.6k DK) He could be in for a BIG WEEK this week as he is 13th is driving%,15th in GIR, and 16th in Length off the tee. All things considered at this price and top 20 potential I’m in!

  2. Cameron Tringale (7k FD/6.7k DK) Current form isn’t where I would like to see it, but it is hard to overlook the fact he is 6/6 on cuts at this course.

  3. Harris English (8.4k FD/7.3K DK) Keeping with the theme of looking for guys who have played all week for a decent price. He is 3/3 on cuts here and priced right to fit some other stars in your lineups.

BARGAIN ALERT 🚨

Avoids 🚫

It would not be a complete article if I didn’t tell you who I am avoiding. I like to go through and take guys out of the pool that I really don’t like THIS WEEK.
