Early Sunday morning, while everyone was sleeping, Dustin Johnson blew a 6-shot lead in the HSBC Championship final-round. Justin Rose shot a 5-under 67 to take home the first World Golf Championship event of the new season.
I will be providing you my DraftKings PGA DFS lineup picks for the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. My goal as always is to help put together your optimal daily fantasy golf lineups.
If anyone has lineup questions before the start of the tournament Thursday morning, feel free to contact me via Twitter @Seth_Fink.
Reviewing Last Week's Picks
Jason Day ($10,200): T-11, -5
Henrik Stenson ($9,600): T-2, -12
Ross Fisher ($8,400): T-58, +5
Matt Kuchar ($7,700): T-31, -1
Jhonattan Vegas ($7,400): T-20, +3

Shriners Hospitals for Children Open
This tournament will be played at TPC at Summerlin in Las Vegas, NV. The course is a par 71 measuring to 7,235 yards.
This field is beyond lackluster with arguably the best player being Tony Finau.
Rod Pampling is the defending champion.
Fantasy Golf Lineup Picks for DraftKings (PGA DFS)
High-Cost Players
Charley Hoffman ($9,000)
This is my pick to win. He lives in Las Vegas and said he'd donate any winnings to the victims of the Las Vegas massacre. That's good karma. This will be his first tournament of the season, but I'm all in on him.
Middle-Cost Players
Kevin Streelman ($8,400)
Streelman has opened the year with a T-13 at the Safeway Open a month ago and continued that strong play with a T-10 last week. He's also had great history on this course with five top-25's.
Ryan Armour ($8,100)
Armour is off his first ever win on Tour last week at the Sanderson Farms Championship. He'll continue his momentum into this week.
William McGirt ($7,700)
Started to really come into his own last season. Had a nice showing last week at the Sanderson Farms with a T-25. He's competed here four times; cut, 8th, 33rd, and 28th.
Low-Cost Players
Daniel Summerhays ($6,800)
I've always liked Summerhays, and especially his name. He opened up the season being cut at the Safeway Open and finished T-72 last week at the Sanderson Farms. But he's always been a boom or bust play.
Camilo Villegas ($6,700)
He is three for three in cuts made on the year so if you're looking for salary relief and need a guy who will make the cut, he's the guy.
Best of luck!
