The Memorial
Welcome to “Jack’s Place”! This is another elevated event so we will have a strong field with a little more forgiveness in the pricing. That is, except for “Lock and Load” Scheffler.
This week, we are off to Muirfield Village. We will see wide fairways help the bombers, but the usually long rough will punish inaccuracy. The bentgrass greens are usually fast.
Let’s do this!
Highlights: Muirfield Village
- Par 72 – 7,569 yards (Not a short course)
- Wide fairways and punishing rough.
- Fast Bentgrass Greens
- Wind and pin placements can/will affect the scoring so we will see how that pans out.
Again, this is an elevated event but there is a cut at Top 50 and ties so we could see almost 1/3 of the field disappear after Friday.
NOTE: All pricing is based on DraftKings
** are my favorites in each category – could be pricing or the fact I think they play best.
Since it’s an elevated event, and I’m busy as hell at work, the analysis won’t be laid out here. Just the picks – which I know that’s what most of you want anyway.
$10,000 and Above
Only three guys and one of them is really in his own tier – both in reality and fantasy!
- Scottie Scheffler ($13,300) – Gotta be the favorite even though he’s priced like they don’t want you to play him.
- Xander Schauffele ($10,900) – Best LONG-TERM course history of the three
- Justin Thomas ($10,100)
$9,000 and Above
- Tommy Fleetwood ($9,400)
- Patrick Cantlay (9,500)
- Ludvig Aberg ($9,300)
- Corey Conners ($9,100)
- Collin Morikawa ($9,900)
$8,000 to $8,900
- Sepp Straka ($8,800)
- Si Wook Kim ($8,300)
- Tony Finau ($8,200)
- Keegan Bradley ($8,000)
- Matthew Fitzpatrick ($8,000)
- Daniel Berger ($8,600)
- Jordan Spieth ($8,500) – typically plays well here although he’s not the Jordan of old.
$7,000 to $7,900
- Sam Burns ($7,900) – too cheap for the talent level
- Ben Griffin ($7,800) – two wins in five weeks? Can’t ignore the hot hand! (One was the Zurich Team event)

- Akshay Bhatia ($7,300)
