Wyndham Championship: Initial Picks
We’ve got a much easier layout this week relative to the PGA Championship and we will be seeing a lot of birdies. The course isn’t particularly long and our focus will revert back to APP this week as this is definitely a second shot golf course (please review The Range for a closer look on course dynamics). Please tune into Tuesday night’s Livestream at 8:30 for more on these picks and the picks of Joel Schrek, who is quickly becoming one of the best PGA DFS players in the industry. And finally, make sure you are constantly refreshing your page at windailysports.com as we have plenty of articles coming from our entire team, but here are out Wyndham Championship: Initial Picks. All pricing is for DraftKings.
Brooks Koepka (11400) – It’s curious that Brooks is even making the trip to this event. However, knowing that Brooks definitely considers himself one of the best in the world and that he is 92nd in FedEx Cup standings, he actually needs the points boost. We remember what we last witnessed with Brooks, which was an awful Sunday, but overall at the PGA he gained almost six strokes APP and that will be key at the Wyndham.
Webb Simpson (11200) – Webb has finished 2nd, 2nd and 3rd the last three years at this event and he has a daughter named after the event itself. Convinced? He’s also in very good form with great APP and PUTT metrics, both of which will prove to be very valuable on this track. Yes he will be super chalk but he’s a lock button in cash games and you’ll want to have some shares in GPPs.
Justin Rose (9900) – I’m not normally a Rose guy, but he seemed to be back into form last week and he gained a ton of strokes on APP and PUTT at the PGA. Normally I’d consider fading a guy who gained 7 full strokes putting the week prior, but his most APP metrics (4 SG at PGA) combined with the possibility of a hot putter spell a potentially big week for Rose. Add to that he’s not comfortably within the Top 125 of the FedEx standings (currently at 103) and I think he has plenty to play for.
Si Woo Kim (8600) – Making seven cuts in a row isn’t anything to celebrate for a guy in this price range but he is coming off a 13th place at the PGA and finished 1st here in 2016 and 5th last year. Further, his ball striking has been great lately. His putter can go hot and cold but it feels like he’s comfortable here so I have no hesitation including him in a handful of lineups. Si Woo is 121st in the FedEx Cup standings so if you’re a believer in that narrative, things set up nicely this week.
Ryan Moore (8100) – He’s been very good on APP as of late and has a very good track record at the Wyndham. I think Moore is a bit underpriced here. One of his biggest issues this year has been an inconsistent putter, but I’m always willing to gamble on that if the other important SG metrics are in great shape.
Christiaan Bezuidenhout (7700) – I almost left this guy off my Initial Picks because I didn’t feel like typing out his name, but for the sake of a proper write-up, I added him to the list. CBez (there we go) has been very good lately with a 22nd at the Memorial and a 20th at the WGC Fed-Ex St. Jude (a comparable course to Wyndham). Even better his main weakness is OTT and that shouldn’t be a big factor here.
Tom Lewis (7600) – Coming off a bad week at the PGA sets up nicely for a ownership leverage play at Wyndham. As mentionned above, his week’s track is comparable to the WGC Fed-Ex St. Jude where Lewis finished an astounding 2nd place. Add to that Lewis is teetering at 120th in the FedEx Cup Standings and I think he’s ripe for a bounce back.
Henrik Norlander (7300) – A forgotten commodity as he’s been absent the last few tournaments, but he’s made five cuts in a row including a 6th at The Memorial and a 12th at the Rocket Mortgage. Norlander’s ball striking has been great over that stretch, particularly in the area of APP. His putter can be erratic but over the last three tournaments he’s gained plenty of strokes with the short stick.
Luke List (7200) – Ball striking has been excellent lately and main issue with List is his putter (He lost a full 7 strokes putting last week). Still, at this price and with great APP numbers I’m willing to take a chance on a guy who appears to be on the rise. He’s made 3 cuts in a row and is currently 112th in the FedEx Cup standings.
Brice Garnett (6700) – ball striking has been great since the re-start. Like many of the guys above he is prone to some bad putting but his last three at the Wyndham have resulted in 6th, 20th and 20th so he’s clearly comfortable here. Solid value in this punt range.
Secret Weapon (sub 7k/less than 5% owned) – get into Discord Wednesday for the secret weapon. Rate of return of secret weapon has been incredible. Feels like it’s due to crash and burn this week . . . or is it?
Again, stay tuned for the Livestream TONIGHT at 8:30 for much more on these picks and the picks of Joel Schrek. And if you’re not already subscribed to the Win Daily podcast, lock that into your rotation. See everyone tonight!
