DRAFTKINGS
I wrote it in my article but I'm playing 30% Finau. I don't want to fade him but I'm not fully confident to go all in. I'll mainly use him in single entry small field stuff.
I wrote up Grillo as a core play in my article. I still like him and love the leverage he provides but he won't be one of my highest owned.
This is obviously a weak field and there will be a lot of volatility. Embrace it. I'm personally playing more GPPs. Don't be afraid to make stands and take chances.
A few guys I'm higher on as the week goes on
Ryo Hisatune $9,200
Apparently he's been pretty better than I thought.
He has a number of good finishes including a win at the Cazoo back in September. He's not incredibly long off the tee but has an average drive over 300 yards he's 8th in birdies or better over the last 24 rounds. I'm not playing a ton of him but he's definitely worth a look.
Brandon Wu $9,100
Wu came 3rd here last year and 2nd in 2022. He's not the greatest putter but two of his four career best putting performances came here gaining 8.4 strokes last year and 6 strokes putting in 2022. He also gained over six strokes tee to green in each of his appearances at Vidanta. Worth a sprinkle.
Some cheaper Guys I like
Sam Stevens $7,100
Robert Macintyre $7,000
Tyler Duncan $6,900
I'm not diving down too deep but in a couple lineups to make some stuff work I'm willing to go down to
MJ Duffue $5,800
Callum Tauren $5,600
David Lipsky $5,500
