Here at RotoBaller, we are always searching for ways to give our readers the best fantasy sports content possible. With that goal in mind, we are very proud of our weekly PGA “One and Done” column. In this feature, our golf staff of Joe Nicely, Spencer Aguiar and Josh Bennett will provide their weekly golf picks every Wednesday. The purpose of this article is to present you with alternative options to consider and hopefully make your selection a much easier process weekly. With that plan in mind, let's get started!
Well, I can't say I am surprised by Jon Rahm's meltdown at the U.S. Open after not using him for the Memorial and BMW Championship. I missed out on both of those victories to get a sloppy share of 23rd at Winged Foot, and that move will get compounded since it caused me to save Bryson DeChambeau for the Masters and not play him in New York. I have to say...this contest has just been one of those things where I can't get anything to go right.
Joe, on the other hand, maintained his sizable lead with a share of eighth place from Tony Finau, and I know Josh had to be disappointed by Justin Thomas' weekend meltdown that placed him in a position where he could only match our leader with his $302,236 payday.

One and Done Selections - Corales Puntacana
Joe Nicely -Will Zalatoris
Alternate - Kristoffer Ventura
I’ve tried to play the last couple of months of this OAD contest with “no fear” and I’m going to stick to that mantra this week in the Corales Puntacana Championship, an event with a field that looks like it was randomly picked out of a “Are we sure this guy is a PGA Tour player? Ok good, let’s get him in!” hat.
In a field composed mainly of veteran journeymen and young up-and-comers, I’m going with a player that has perhaps the brightest future of them all...Will Zalatoris. “Willie Z” is a player that hardcore golf fans have been keeping an eye on, but he put his name in the general public’s consciousness last week with an impressive T6 finish at the U.S. Open. This kid is no one-hit wonder, as he’s flat-out dominated the Korn Ferry Tour this season, posting a win and 10 (!) top-10s in just 16 starts

Spencer Aguiar - Patrick Rodgers
Alternate - Kristoffer Ventura
Can I get a 50/50 call correct? Let's try this weekend by taking Patrick Rodgers over Kristoffer Ventura. I essentially need to shoot for the moon at this point, and I am not sure I can risk Joe (or even Josh) matching my selection. That places me in a position to grab a player that I am relatively sure won't be chosen by either, and I believe Rodgers' lack of support in all markets provides us an opportunity to acquire the American for outstanding value across the board.
A slight slip-up from the 192nd-ranked player in the world has seen him fail to crack the top-45 over his past three contests, but I don't want to get caught up in this narrative of saying that he is trending downwards. Rodgers has made six cuts in a row, and the weekend implosions during the Northern Trust and Wyndham Championship aren't something that I want to hold against him too harshly.
The 28-year-old becomes the third-player in my model when I stretch out his results to the Workday Charity Open, and while I do believe Ventura is a much safer option for those that are searching for a payday, I am going to go for broke and hope for the best.

Josh Bennett - Kristoffer Ventura
Alternate - Corey Conners
As most people do, on a resort course like this where it’s obvious there will be tons of birdies made all over the course, the main target for me this week are “birdie makers”. However, the birdie or better stat isn’t the one I’m chasing this week as many others are. The fairways are huge on this course and nearly impossible to miss, and on almost every hole other than the par 3’s these guys will have wedges into the green, making it also nearly impossible to miss the green. So I’m looking at the good putters that convert birdies at a high percentage. Kristoffer was 11th on tour in that statistic in 2020 and 2nd in this field behind Dom Bozzelli.
Kristoffer’s game is similar to Denny McCarthy’s who I also like a lot (but used in this contest already), and Denny has had some solid finishes in this tournament before, so it seems like that formula of golf works here. I’m hoping Joe and Spence lean towards a couple of the bad putters at the top of the board here and those guys have a couple bad putting days so I can somehow work my way back into this contest.
