Joaquin Niemann A Safe Option At Rocket Mortgage Classic
Joaquin Niemann carries a high DFS price this week, but he comes in as one of the safer top-tier options this week. Niemann continues to impress this season, as he has only missed one cut in 21 events. The only part of Niemann's game that could use some work is around the green, but that […]
Kasey Kuhrts 3 years agoPhil Mickelson Should See The Weekend In Detroit
Phil Mickelson comes into Detroit still riding the high of winning his sixth major championship at the PGA in May. However, since the PGA, Mickelson has only missed one cut, in three starts. What has me encouraged about Mickelson this week is his recent putting. Mickelson sits 120th in strokes gained putting this season, but […]

Doc Redman has found success at Detroit Country Club over the past two seasons, as he hasn't recorded a finish worse than T21. In the first Rocket Mortgage Classic in 2019, Redman recorded his best career finish on the PGA Tour, solo second. As for this season, Redman has made five straight cuts on tour, […]
Kasey Kuhrts 3 years agoJason Kokrak Will Thrive At Rocket Mortgage Classic
Besides maybe Bryson DeChambeau, Jason Kokrak fits Detroit Country Club better than anyone in the field. He hits it a long way, 307.3 yards on average, sits 22nd in strokes gained off the tee, and putts better than everyone on tour other than Louis Oosthuizen. After we saw DeChambeau overpower the field off the tee, […]

Maverick McNealy returns to Detroit off back-to-back top-30 finishes at the Charles Schwab Challenge and Travelers Championship. In his only Rocket Mortgage Classic start, McNealy recorded one of his five career top-10 finishes with a T8 last year. McNealy gains strokes off the tee and on the greens, the two major categories to look at […]
Kasey Kuhrts 3 years agoNate Lashley Won't Be A Factor In Detroit
Nate Lashley, the inaugural Rocket Mortgage Classic champion, returns to Detroit Country Club looking for the same magic he found in 2019. However, that is unlikely. Lashley is losing strokes off the tee, on approach, in his putting and from tee to green so far this season. Lashley only gains strokes around the green, which […]

Willie Mack III will be making his third PGA Tour start of the season this week in Detroit, still looking for his first made cut. Mack missed the cut at both the Farmers Insurance Open and Genesis Invitational, but those were tough golf courses. This week in Detroit, Mack won't see a course as tough […]
Kasey Kuhrts 3 years agoPatrick Cantlay A Can't-Miss Play At Travelers Championship
Patrick Cantlay is red hot, and is a can't miss option at the Travelers. Coming off three straight top-25 finishes, Cantlay returns to a place he has finished no worse than 15th since 2018. Cantlay has no outlying weaknesses in his game, as he gains strokes in all of the major categories. His stats are […]
Kasey Kuhrts 4 years agoJustin Rose A High-Risk/High-Reward Play At Travelers Championship
Justin Rose has some solid history at TPC River Highlands, however, it all comes nearly ten years ago. Rose racked up three top-ten finishes from 2005-2010, and five top-20's from 2005-2013. However, in his first Travelers since 2013 last year, Rose missed the cut. His recent form shows the risk associated with playing Rose this […]
Kasey Kuhrts 4 years agoFrancesco Molinari Returns To DFS Relevance
Against all odds, Francesco Molinari pulled together a solid top-15 finish at the U.S. Open last week. It was his best finish on the PGA Tour since February, and he will look to build on that this week. Molinari has never missed a cut at the Travelers Championship but hasn't recorded a finish better than […]
Kasey Kuhrts 4 years agoBubba Watson Has Dominated TPC River Highlands
Bubba Watson returns to a place he has dominated in TPC River Highlands. Watson has won the Travelers Championship three times, including twice in the last six years. However, when he doesn't win, he doesn't finish well. In those other four recent starts, Watson has missed the cut twice, and finished outside the top-50 in […]

Brian Harman has racked up two top-10 finishes in the last three Travelers Championships, highlighting his eight career made cuts at TPC River Highlands. Looking at his recent play, Harman has made seven of his last eight cuts. In all of his made cuts, Harman has finished no worse than T19 and racked up three […]
Kasey Kuhrts 4 years agoWatch Out For Scottie Scheffler This Week
With three top-10 finishes in his last four starts, Scottie Scheffler has to be considered in all contests this week. What is most impressive about those finishes is that all three came at very difficult courses -- the PGA Championship, the Memorial and the U.S. Open. A reason for his success has been his play […]
Kasey Kuhrts 4 years agoChris Kirk Tough To Predict At Travelers Championship
Chris Kirk will be teeing it up at the Travelers Championship for the first time since 2013. This is part of the reason Kirk will be tough to predict this week. Another reason I say this is because of his recent history. Kirk went on a run of four straight top-30 finishes in April, and […]
Kasey Kuhrts 4 years agoKevin Kisner Worth A Flyer At Travelers Championship
Kevin Kisner is starting to play better, and a trip to TPC River Highlands might be just what the doctor ordered for Kisner. Kisner finished T15 at the Travelers Championship back in 2019, his best finish at the event in his career. Kisner is coming off a made cut at the U.S. Open, which was […]
Kasey Kuhrts 4 years agoMarc Leishman Is Too Risky At Travelers Championship
Marc Leishman is looking to get back on track at the Travelers Championship, but that won't be an easy task. In his last three starts at TPC River Highlands, Leishman hasn't finished inside the top-20. To go with that, Leishman has put together three straight poor performances on tour. In his last 10 rounds, Leishman […]
Kasey Kuhrts 4 years agoPatrick Cantlay Has Struggled At Torrey Pines
Only making one cut in three attempts, Patrick Cantlay hasn't had a great time at Torrey Pines. In his only made cut, Cantlay finished 51st in 2018. However, since Cantlay last played at Torrey Pines in 2019, things have changed for him. Cantlay has won three times on the PGA Tour since his last time […]
Kasey Kuhrts 4 years agoMarc Leishman Could Change His U.S. Open Fortunes
Marc Leishman has 10 career top-25 finishes in major championships, but only one has come at the U.S. Open. Looking deeper, Leishman has missed more U.S. Open cuts than at any other major championship. One reason could be his inability to consistently hit the fairway. We know the rough is always tough at the U.S. […]

If anyone in the field knows Torrey Pines, it's Gary Woodland. Woodland will be making his 13th career start at Torrey Pines, and he hasn't missed a Farmers Insurance Open cut since 2010. What might be more incredible than Woodland making 13 starts at Torrey is the fact he has made 12 cuts. Woodland has […]
Kasey Kuhrts 4 years agoMatt Kuchar Finally Returns To Torrey Pines
2008 was a long time ago, 13 years to be exact. That's the last time we saw Matt Kuchar tee it up at Torrey Pines. After missing three straight cuts in 2002, 2004 and 2007, Kuchar made the cut at both the 2008 Buick Invitational and U.S. Open, recording a best finish of 23rd in […]
Kasey Kuhrts 4 years agoKevin Kisner And Torrey Pines Don't Mix
Kevin Kisner hasn't had the best go of things at Torrey Pines in his career. In three starts there, Kisner has yet to make a cut. Pairing that with Kisner's current play, he's missed six of his last seven cuts on tour, it shouldn't be a tough decision to stay away from Kisner this week. […]
Kasey Kuhrts 4 years agoSergio Garcia Too Risky At Torrey Pines
Sergio Garcia will return to Torrey Pines for the first time since the 2008 U.S. Open. Yes, you read that correctly. It has been a long time since Garcia teed it up in San Diego, but he did finish in the top 20 in 2008. More recently, Garcia made his last cut at the Charles […]
Kasey Kuhrts 4 years agoFrancesco Molinari Cannot Be Considered At U.S. Open
Does anyone even remember Francesco Molinari at this point? Molinari has only played in four PGA Tour events since March, and he missed the cut in three of the four outings. In his only made cut, Molinari finished 52nd at the Wells Fargo Championship. In those four events, Molinari lost strokes on the green in […]
Kasey Kuhrts 4 years agoBubba Watson Not A Factor For The U.S. Open
Bubba Watson has struggled in his career at the U.S. Open. In Watson's last seven U.S. Open starts, he has missed the cut five times. In his two made cuts, he has a best finish of T31 in 2020. Pair his U.S. Open struggles with his back-to-back poor performances at the PGA Championship and Memorial […]
Kasey Kuhrts 4 years agoBrooks Koepka Makes Sense At Congaree
In theory, Brooks Koepka should excel at Congaree this week. Koepka is very long off the tee, averaging 308.2 yards per drive, and sits inside the top 20 in strokes gained off the tee. However, we have seen Koepka struggle when he isn't playing in a big-time event. On the season, Koepka has only made […]

Alex Noren is quietly playing some good golf in the past two months. In his five starts since April, Noren has yet to miss a cut. Looking deeper, Noren has finished inside the top 25 in four of those five starts, highlighted by a T13 last week at the Memorial. Noren won't struggle with the […]
Kasey Kuhrts 4 years agoBen Martin Should Be Considered This Week
Ben Martin won't carry a high DFS price this week, which isn't surprising. However, what is surprising are his stats. Martin doesn't lose strokes in any strokes-gained categories and is currently 52nd in strokes gained total. He isn't the longest off the tee, averaging only 290.7 yards per drive, but he gains .168 strokes off […]
Kasey Kuhrts 4 years agoLuke List Has The Distance To Contend At Congaree
Luke List is one of the best players on the PGA Tour off the tee -- eighth-best to be exact. He's also one of the longest players off the tee box (seventh-longest). Congaree will play as the longest par 71 on the PGA Tour and features the second-longest hole on tour, a 645-yard par five. […]
Kasey Kuhrts 4 years agoKeith Mitchell Carries Plenty Of Risk At Congaree
Keith Mitchell carries a high DFS price this week, but he could be worth the money. Mitchell averages 305.1 yards off the tee, good enough for 31st-best on tour. With that distance, it should be no surprise that Mitchell is inside the top 20 in strokes gained off the tee -- 19th to be exact. […]
Kasey Kuhrts 4 years agoMatthew NeSmith Won't Be Worth His High DFS Price
Matthew NeSmith will struggle to justify his DFS price this week. In his past eight starts on tour, NeSmith has made five cuts. That's not bad, but when you dive deeper, he hasn't done much in terms of fantasy. In his five made cuts, NeSmith has a best finish of T21 at the Valspar, but […]
