2/19 DFS Diamonds: With DFS Pro Javi on PGA

175

I’ll be focusing on my core and GPP plays for the 2/20 Tournament for DFS PGA.   I’m running a similar format to Sia and want to provide some insight into my 5-10 builds this weekend. This is focus around DraftKings ONLY.

10k and above – 2/19 DFS

Rory Mcllroy – Rory is one of the best golfers in the game right now and is ranked #1 in the world. He has FIVE straight top 5 finishes in his last FIVE events. It’s 5 for 5 in top 5 and my number one golfer this weekend.

Hideki Matsuyama – He has four top 15 finishes in his past 5 events and is also one of the hottest golfers in the game. He is due for a win and in top form. He does have two top 25 finishes in the 3 times he’s played here and ranks top 10 in all golfing categories across the board. He has struggled in putting and is more middle of the pack in regards to putting, but still locking him in a ton of lineups.

Adam Scott – Rule 1 in PGA DFS is don’t play the winner from the previous week, but I’m breaking this rule this weekend. Adam Scott is notorious for winning back to back events in the past and is in tip top form to win this tournament. If the broom putter is back out and he continues his dominant play, he could easily win this tournament once again. I like the form that Bryson DeChambeau, but his poor course history here worries me.

Xander Schauffele – As Sia mentioned, Xander’s form and specifically his ball-striking have been great.  This is what I’m targeting plus he ranks top 10 in all golfing categories for me and has great course history!

Louis Oosthuizen – Listen, this guy is destroying the European tour and I’m riding the hot streak here. He is on fire and I just can’t fade him until I see regression.

Paul Casey – Again stealing Sia’s thunder, but “Great course history (3^rd, 12^th, and 166th) but recent history hasn’t been great which should keep ownership lower than many of the sexier names in this range like Sergio, Morikawa, Woodland, and Bubba, all of whom I will be fading.” His ATG and putting has been poor, but he’s been doing well in his past two tournaments. He needs to avoid the one day debacles that he continues to run into. No bueno if he does!

Bubba Watson – Bubba…. OOOOOOO Bubba. He missed two straight five foot putts to miss the cut and broke my heart. He cost me thousands, but let’s move on! He is going to have low ownership because of last weekend and his course history here. I like him as a sneaky bounce back play this week.

7k and above – 2/19 DFS

Abraham Ancer – The Golf Narrative hasnt worked much this year, but Ancer is in top form and even though he has poor course history, he’s one of two Mexicans on the course. I believe he will bounce back because of his recent poor experience here and he has been playing unbelievably. He might be higher owned this weekend, but I love the play.

Rafa Cabrera-Bello – This is far from a sexy play and might be more owned than I want him to be, but he has great course history and he’s similar to Bubba Watson in regards to playing very, very well in courses that he normally plays well at. With multiple top 20 finishes here, I like RCB as another bounce back candidate with a top 10 finish here!

Erik Van Rooyen – He burned us last weekend with missing the cut on day 2 after a solid day 1. He’s been “meh” here in the past, but he’s playing some good golf lately, but his approach to green is worrisome. Given the small greens, he might be in a better spot, but this is a riskier play in my eyes.

Carlos Ortiz – I’m once again stealing Sia’s notes on this…. sorry Sia! “Ortiz is from Mexico but has no competitive history on this course.  While that’s not ideal, he has made the cut in 4 out of his last 5 events and that includes top 30 finishes in his last two. ” Narrative here!!
