The Rocket Mortgage Classic Final Ownership Projections
Last year a sub named Nate Lashley led from start to finish at the Detroit golf club and finished -25. The rough has been allowed to grow and thicken, I’m not sure how much that will deter scores, last year was a birdie bonanza, it should still be a high scoring affair this year. The weather is negligible for now for The Rocket Mortgage Classic so keep it in mind. Let’s get down to the ownership and picks.
The top man this week is Bryson DeChambeau by a large margin, he is at 29%. He deserves the love, but at 30% he would have to win to make value. Next is Victor Hovland at 23% and then a drop to Tyrrell Hatton at 19%. Patrick Reed follows at 18%, Doc Redman at 17%, Sneds is at 16%, Kevin Na at 16%. Kevin said Sunday night after finishing 5th last week that his back feels great, for now. I thought why would he add “for now ?” Patrick Scott caught a tweet from him last night that he hopes his back will allow him to make it thru this tourney, I was considering him for a core position, but I’m off now. Beware the injured golfer, he rates high, but it’s too risky for me. Webb Simpson is also 16% owned and is a great pivot off DeChambeau, the writers all agree he could do well.
Deki and Sungjae Im are 15% owned along with Tony Finau and Scottie Scheffler, don’t be surprised to see Scottys % go up from the time of this report. Lucas Glover and EricVan Rooyen are at 14%, Adam Hadwin is 13%.
The following golfers are at 11% JT Poston, Rory Sabbatini, Christian Bezuidenhout, Brendan Todd, and Sebastian Munoz. Brian Stuard is at 10%, Lanto Griffin is at 9%, along with Brian Harmon, Kyle Stanley, Maverick McNealy, and Jason Day. Scott Stallings and last weeks underdog hero, Will Gordon are at 8%, along with my favorite pick Tyler Duncan, and Tom Hoge. Si Woo Kim is also 8%. In the 7% owned bracket you have Mark Hubbard, Matt Wolf, Sam Burns, and Patton Kizzire. At 6% you have Rafa Cabrera Bello, Kevin Kisner, Alex Noren, Kurt Kitayama who won a qualifier on Monday, Patrick Rodgers, Branden Grace, and Aaron Wise. At 5% and under some notables include Cameron Tringale, Chesson Hadley, Keegan Bradley, Emiliano Grillo, Luke List, Joseph Bramlett and Sepp Straka.
The following golfers may help your team place higher in the Draft Kings Million contest, please note this is for high entry GPP only, there is inherent and real risk involved to go after all the zeroes behind the 1.
Top Tier: Bryson DeChambeau (11,700) and Webb Simpson (11,000) Sungjae Im (9800)
Bryson is a beast and as long as he’s under 30 % a neutral play that can score points, he may go over 30 % owned, if he does, his perfect pivot is to Simpson, cheaper and the same upside as Bryson. Sungjae again projects well in this price range for value and upside. (He is my Na replacement)
Mid Tier: Kyle Stanley (7100), Scott Stallings (7500),and Rafa Cabrera Bello (8100)
With low ownership and really good numbers to make top 20, these three are projecting well in the model, and they allow you price wise to go for more top talent.
Low/ Mid Tier: Harold Varner lll (7600), Tyler Duncan (7000) Joseph Bramlett (7500)
These are the roster adds that can win a million, or blow up your team on Friday night, they are projecting at the top of the risk field.
Long Shot: Wes Roach (7300) Kevin Chappell (6600)
Their numbers indicate this course fits them, IF they putt well it could be a good week.
I spent some time this afternoon with Patrick and Sia trying to nail down some decent picks for you, our members, it’s extremely important to us, and I know Isaiah has already posted some great info as well. I play under the name SicilyKid, and you will see the above named players on my teams.
As always I hope to be with you, in the money!
Players and members please remember that the people who win millions every week have a common factor, they have two players whose ownership average is between 5 to 8% each, and their total team ownership comes in between 12-18%. Use ownership as a weapon, don’t be afraid to roster player X if you think he brings it.
The writers and I will be in the Discord Chat later to answer questions, do yourself a favor and check out all the golf reports, and as always, I hope to be with you, in the money. Check out more golf content for FREE over at WinDailySports.com/Golf.
