3M Open 2020: Sunday Showdown DFS Targets
After another low scoring day in MN, this weekend is shaping up much differently than last weekend’s bloodbath at the Memorial Tournament.
Michael Thompson and Richy Werenski are playing outstanding golf and share a 2 stroke lead over the rest of the field thus far. However with the way this course is playing the tournament is still wide open. Lets look at the 3M Open 2020: Sunday Showdown DFS Targets.
One thing to keep in mind when building lineups for Sunday’s Showdown slate on DraftKings are the bonus points awarded for finishing position. The golfer who finishes in 1st place will receive 13 bonus points, 2nd place 10 points, etc. That does not necessarily mean only play the leaders because for GPP you still need to find the most birdies & eagles but if you are deciding between two golfers you should favor the golfers closer to the top of the leaderboard while building your lineups for Sunday. Looking at Sunday’s field, there are a lot of guys bunched up on the leaderboard behind Thompson & Werenski and DraftKings has made the necessary salary adjustments from Thursday’s opening round for Sunday’s Showdown slate.
Richy Werenski ($9,500):Richy is having a great week currently sharing the lead with Thompson. He is known to be a good putter but he lost strokes putting on Saturday (-0.48) while his ball striking was above average (+1.25 SG APP). If he starts sinking putts again on Sunday, Richy can win this tournament!
Michael Thompson ($8,500): Hard to fade Thompson tomorrow as he has a share of the lead, he is striking the ball really well (+1.73 SG APP) and unless he completely implodes he should receive some of those valuable bonus points mentioned above for finishing position.
Ryan Moore (9,700): Ryan went -4 on Saturday while losing over 2 strokes with his putter. His irons were outstanding (+1.87 SG APP & +1.67 SG ARG) and he was solid off of the tee (+0.78 SG OTT). If Ryan can sink a few putts on Sunday he could compete to win the whole tournament.Si Woo
Kim ($7,600): Kim is the epitome of streaky and is capable of getting red hot. While he has not played great this season, he did shoot a 65 on Sunday at the Travelers Championship back in June. On Saturday, he gained 1.5 strokes off the tee which led the entire field. I do not anticipate him being highly owned, so if he continues to drive the ball well and he can sink a few putts tomorrow, he might be a sneaky play.
Pat Perez ($7,000): Pat went -5 on Saturday and struck the ball really well. Gaining 1.31 strokes OTT and +1.25 SG APP. I like Pat’s form heading into Sunday’s final round.
Tom Lewis ($6,900): Tom’s iron play was really strong on Saturday as he went 4 under while gaining more than 2 strokes on his approach shots. He was also solid with his driver but lost strokes putting on Saturday (-1.03). If he can wake the putter up on Sunday I like him as a strong play for this salary.
Doug Ghim (6,200): Ghim might not be a big name but he is in solid form and at this salary he is hard to ignore. He went 4 under on Saturday getting him to -8 for the week. With another solid day on Sunday he could also help your lineup with those valuable leaderboard bonus points. Doug has been driving the ball well all week and gained almost 2 strokes ARG on Saturday. He will need to wake the putter up as he lost almost a stroke (-0.91) putting on Saturday but if he does sink a few putts he will be a great lineup addition for this salary range.
