This will be the third year at Memorial for The Houston Open. With the birdie fests going on recently in the second season you could expect another 24 under to win. If you played even par in this tourney over the last two years you would have ended up in 40th place, and that’s for both years. This course is rated in the top 10 of most difficult to score from around the greens, fairway run off areas and the actual rough. The Houston Open DFS DraftKings Ownership Projections are designed to help you find the studs, value plays and reduced ownership pivots to drive your teams to the top of the leaderboard.
This course does carry major- type lines and hazards, especially with the dry, brittle Bermuda rough at almost 3 inches. Our model is projecting a 12 under to 14 under victory. Bogey avoidance is a key to this weeks contest as well as distance, accuracy and approach play with a boost to around the greens.
The Course – The Field
Bombers with accuracy and elite ball strikers should do well here, and this weeks offering has attracted some top heavy talent. Scottie Scheffler, Sam Burns, Tony Finau and Aaron Wise are several top names scheduled to tee it up in Houston on Thursday.
Whether to trust the Weather
At present the weather in Houston calls for a great day for golf on Thursday, Friday and Sunday, with winds topping out at 6-7 MPH. Saturday should be a bit breezy with the winds at 13-15 MPH and cooler temperatures in the afternoon. Please check in with The Win Daily Sports Discord later this evening for the latest updates on weather and a wave advantage.
Lets take a look at The Houston Open DFS DraftKings Ownership Projections powered by Win Daily Sports. These tools are designed to allow you to build your lineups and streamline roster construction while gaining leverage on the field through pivots on the chalk and finding value plays as well.

It’s back to the familiar time slot at 9:00 EST on Tuesday nights and is fun, engaging and educational. Show up, tune in, and help your audience win the week with the best team on the board!
The Results
Last week our Frisky Risky Biscuit play was C. T. Pan who withdrew from The Houston Open this week. He told his hometown paper he tweaked something last Friday at Mayakoba. We do not offer this as an excuse, more to reinforce the volatility of DFS golf.
I remember sitting at +13K with only Sunday to go and with Jon Rahm holding a sizable lead going into Sunday. Late Saturday after finishing a great day, a PGA official told him he had tested positive for Covid and had to withdraw. I ended up that week +180. Joel lost 50K+ based on a ruling by an official as well. Ask Stix about DJ putting and the monetary difference between a birdie and bogey when you are on the brink of winning a huge tourney.
There is still no greater feeling like being in the top 10 late on Sunday with a shot at the takedown. Its why we work so hard to help you get there, and we will be releasing our Frisky Biscuit play tonight in the Win Daily Sports Discord to improve on our record of 20-4 for a low salary and low owned difference maker. Lets take one down this week!
As always, I hope to be with you on Sunday afternoon, in the money. You can also come and hang out in the Win Daily Sports Discord Chat to talk it out with everyone before the lock!
