Corales Puntacana Resort Initial Picks
The PGA Tour goes to the Dominican Republic this week to take a swing at a resort course which is sure to produce some very good scores. It helps to be long here, but if past winners are any indication, it is not a requirement. Tune in TONIGHT at 8:00 to the Win Daily Livestream @windailysports with the regular cast of characters as we go over the entire DFS slate and provide some outright and H2H picks. Don’t forget to check out the rest of the content we have coming on Win Daily Sports! Here are our Corales Puntacana Resort Initial Picks.
Sam Burns (10100) – He’s long and accurate and has been in good form (he’s coming off a 7th at the Safeway). Burns has a great shot to win this tournament and if I was doing the pricing, he’d be at the very top. He will be chalk for sure, but I’ll have him in my GPP’s and cash.
Emiliano Grillo (9800) – He’s played five tournaments since the restart and he’s made all five cuts. He is great T2G and his success typically comes down to whether or not he can figure out the putter.
Denny McCarthy (9600) – Coming off a missed cut at the Safeway should keep his ownership down, but he was very solid before that. Also has a nice track record here and is normally great on APP and good OTT.
Luke List (8700) – List is long and is no stranger to going low. The problem is his recent form hasn’t been great. With that said, he sets up very nicely for this course and he’s another guy that just needs to find a hot putter for a couple rounds.
Kyle Stanley (8100) – Stanley hasn’t been making a ton off cuts lately (only made 2 of his last 5) but it’s interesting to note that his ball striking has been very good. He is getting killed in the PUTT department and I’m willing to take a shot on him turning that around. If Stanley’s putter is average he should be within the Top 20 on Sunday.
Patrick Rodgers (8000) – maybe a bit of a misprice here and I’m going to go ahead and take advantage of that. Five made cuts in a row for Rodgers. His APP stats on the year aren’t great, but I’m going to take recent form into account and fire away on Rodgers. Take note that this is a boom or bust play.
Will Gordon (7600) – Gordon was a DFS darling a couple months back and is now relatively forgotten, which means it’s the right time to jump aboard. He makes birdies and he’s long off the tee which is a great recipe on this track. Needs to get his APP game in order as it’s been off lately.
Chris Kirk (7400) – He’s gained OTT in each of his last four tournaments and has made four out of five cuts since the restart. Kirk is a big time comeback story and he seems to have turned a page. If he can get his APP game clicking he’s got a shot to be competing near the top on Sunday.
Doug Ghim (7300) – Not an exciting name, but he’s made two of his last three cuts (including 14th at the Safeway) and he’s gained strokes in almost every metric during that stretch. Ghim has been particularly good on APP and with the short game.
JJ Spaun (7000) – Just to be clear, Spaun has been mostly bad over the last 12 months. But his last two tournaments he’s been dialed in with his OTT and APP game and I’m taking a shot here. This is a GPP play only and I certainly won’t have too many shares, but I’m taking a shot with Spaun.
