This tournament has historically been very low scoring and this week is no different. We saw three 8 unders on Thursday and then three 7 unders on Friday. With the ability to go that low in a single day, this tournament remains wide open.
When selecting golfers for the PGA Saturday Showdown slate I want to target guys who are striking the ball well. Obviously the guys who went 7 under the day before will look good for Saturday’s slate but it is rare for someone to go 7 under two days in a row. That does not mean you should completely fade them but you don’t want to just select all of the leaders from the day before.
In DraftKings, you will need all 6 golfers to perform well. If you miss on just one guy that can ruin your entire lineup!
Targets for PGA Saturday Showdown slate:
Webb Simpson ($10,400): In case you have not heard already, Webb is a legend on this course and has played well thus far sitting at -8. He has a -6 coming either Saturday or Sunday too.
- SG OTT: +1.08
- SG ATT: +1.67
- SG PUTT: +0.29
Henrik Norlander ($8,100): I loved Henrik all week and he has played well thus far. I am anticipating a big weekend from him just like we saw at the 3M Open (the last tournament he played in) where he shot a 67 on Saturday and 65 on Sunday.
- SG OTT: -1.41
- SG APP: +2.60
- SG PUTT: -0.02
Doc Redman ($8,000): Doc has been playing great all summer! He turned in a -6 on Friday leaving him at -9 heading into the weekend. Doc is also from NC so he is comfortable with this course and might have a little extra “hometown” motivation.
- SG OTT: +1.73
- SG APP: +3.11
- SG PUTT: -0.74
Scott Stallings ($7,300): Scott finished in 5th place at the Barracuda Championship two weeks ago and he progressively shot a lower score each day of the tournament with a 71 on Thursday, 69 on Friday, 68 on Saturday, and 65 on Sunday. Can he do that again this weekend?
- SG OTT: +0.77
- SG APP: +1.25SG PUTT: -1.23
Tom Lewis ($6,800): This price seems almost disrespectful for Tom. In his last 6 rounds of golf played he has a 67, 66, and 61! He is 5 under heading into the weekend and he tends to play his best golf on Saturday and Sunday.
- SG OTT: +0.21
- SG APP: +2.00SG PUTT: -0.97
Matt Every ($6,100): Matt gained the second most strokes on APP in the entire field on Friday and at this price he is certainly worth a look for tomorrow.
- SG OTT: -0.52
- SG APP: +3.00
- SG PUTT: -0.74
Hank Lebioda ($6,100): Hank’s putter cannot be any worse than it was on Friday. He shot 5 under on Thursday and is striking the ball well. I cannot imagine a PGA golfer putting that poorly two days in a row!
- SG OTT: +0.92
- SG APP: +0.52
- SG PUTT: -5.12
