5 years agoRory McIlroy entered the Colonial last weekend at a mind-numbing $11,800 price tag on DraftKings, and despite the concerns of the Irishman needing to win the event to pay off his salary, he still generated over 15% ownership on the week en route to a 32nd-place showing. In McIlroy's defense, a four-over 74 quickly dashed any hopes his backers had of finding success on Sunday, but the risk of finishing outside the top five was always going to be a concern. A $500 decrease in price and potential five-plus percent dip in ownership does firmly put the No. 1 player in the world back on the map as an option worth considering at Harbour Town, but McIlroy's recent inability to close on Sunday does make us partially concerned at a venue that will reduce his driving prowess. With all that being said, we don't have any issues using him as a somewhat contrarian GPP option because of his upside.--Spencer Aguiar - RotoBaller
