PGA Dew Sweeper: Truist

Truist Championship

Another elevated event the week before Major #2!  Next week:  PGA Championship.  All the guys are in play given the guaranteed 4-round format (barring a WD or injury).  Short and sweet this week.

Highlights:  Philadelphia Cricket Club

  • NEW COURSE ON TOUR – NO HISTORY!
  • Par 70 – 7,119 yards
  • 6 holes have water in play
  • Over 100 bunkers throughout the course – firm and deep
  • Bentgrass greens – reportedly running fast (12-13 on stimpmeter)
  • Tall fescue rough – difficult

Elevated event so the field is a quality one even though Scottie “I’ll shoot 30-under par – come get me” Scheffler isn’t playing.

NOTE:  All pricing is based on DraftKings

$10,000 and Above (in my order of preference)

  • Rory McIlroy ($12,00)
  • Xander Schauffele ($10,200)
  • Justin Thomas ($10,000)
  • Collin Morikawa ($10,500)

The difference is negligible – except for the way RORS is playing right now!

$9,000 to $9,900

  • Ludvig Aberg ($9,800)
  • Tommy Fleetwood ($9,300)
  • Patrick Cantlay ($9,500)
  • Jordan Spieth ($9,200)

$8,000 to $8,900

  • Shane Lowry ($8,500)
  • Daniel Berger ($8,600)
  • Maverick McNealy ($8,300)
  • Corey Conners ($8,800)
  • Keegan Bradley ($8,100)

$7,000 to $7,900

  • Sam Burns ($7,900)
  • Andrew Novak ($7,800) – Last three:  Win-2nd-T3
  • Brian Harman ($7,500)
  • Keith Mitchell ($7,400)
  • Will Zalatoris ($7,300) – I know, but this is too cheap.
  • J. T. Poston ($7,200)
  • Akshay Bhatia ($7,100)
  • Rasmus Hojgaard ($7,000)

Under $7,000

  • Sam Stevens ($6,700) – way too cheap for current form!
  • Tom Hoge ($6,700) – see Sam Stevens!
  • Eric Cole ($6,700)
  • Stephan Jaeger ($6,800)
  • Harris English ($6,900)
  • Michael Thorgjornsen ($6,400) – T33-T4-T2 in last 3 events.

 

Longshot(s)

  • Erik van Rooyen ($6,200) – expect momentum from last week.
  • Garrick Higgo ($6,100) – I like this guy, and he won a few weeks ago in the “other event” in Puntacana while the RBC Heritage was going on.

 

Based on the last two tiers, I assume you see that there are a lot of lineups constructs in play this week!

 

Ask questions on Discord if you have them.  Make sure to tag me so I don’t miss it!

GOOD LUCK!!
