Welcome to the Open Ownership Projections brought to you by Win Daly Sports. My wife and I were shaking our heads after the 2023 U. S. Open. This was NOT our national championships way of doing things. With apologies to Clark, scores of -10, -9, -7, -6, -5 at an Open? THE U. S. Open? Hell no. Finally, this year some sanity, a cohesive and clear course. Pinehurst #2. I will wager with anyone that the winner never sniffs double digits, at anytime, in this 2024 Open. Difficult choices face these golfers this week, just like the hard choices we will have to make in DFS as well. The Open Ownership Projections are dedicated to making you a smarter and wealthier DFS player.
Win Daily Sports’ golf team works tirelessly to bring you the best intel. The PGA Ownership Projections allow you to pivot to lower owned players, find those hidden leverage gems and drive your teams to the top of multiple formats.
Courses and Horses
C-A-R-N-A-G-E. When the Open was last played at Pinehurst #2 in 2014 there were 156 golfers that got tested. Only two of them, just two, ended up under par and one of them was -1. Since then they have added native wire-grass and natural pine weed to the rough. It’s not thick and tall like normal rough, think landing in the rough and having to hit out of what looks like small tiny tree roots tangled everywhere in sand. 3 caddies coming off the course yesterday mentioned the same words, “diabolical.” One golfer mentioned that all the greens were like upside down cup saucers. Yesterday the honorable Mr. Clark, last years winner, said, “you need a really good shot to get it up on the green and even then you’re nowhere near done.” “The ball can roll off in any direction into god knows what.” ‘It will be borderline playable on Thursday if current conditions stay, it’s very fast now, really fast.” When he was walking away a reporter asked, “would you say the course right now is easy, fair or hard?” Clark replied, “hard. very hard.” It looks like the U. S. Open has gone from Peter Pan’s niblets to King Kong’s balls. Yippee!*
- So many golfers complained yesterday about the golf balls not holding the greens that they watered them last night per the U.S.G.A. The greens will get faster and drier as the week progresses.
GOLFERS WHO WILL SUFFER THE LEAST include Scottie, Rory, Xander, Mori, Bryson, Deki, Fleetwood, Hatton, Henley, Clark, Bradley, Si Woo, T Kim and Rai.
Recent Results
THE Frisky Risky Biscuit! Our very top selection last week was Scheffler/ Mori who finished 1-2. The other mid, low, left field and FRL picks all made the cut. Our Biscuit came down with bogey brain. Our Frisky Biscuit record is now 27-7 for a 5-6K golfer at 5% or under ownership to make the cut. Our Biscuit picks will be released on Wednesday evening in the Win Daily Sports Discord Golf channel. It is the only place on the entire planet the Frisky Risky Biscuit will be released!
Whether to trust the Weather
The weather is calling for calm to moderate wind conditions on both waves Thursday and Friday. Possible light rain Friday evening and Saturday night. Stay tuned to Win Daily Sports Discord this evening for more comprehensive reports from Deep Dive Dave.

***** Parting Shots *****
A man boards a plane and takes a seat. He looks up and sees this gorgeous knock out beauty that came up and sat right beside him. He couldn’t believe his luck! Eager to speak to her he asked, “Business or pleasure?” She turns to him, smiles and says, “business, I’m going to the Annual Nymphomaniacs of America Convention in Boston.” He swallowed hard and could not believe his ears. Trying to stay composed he asked, “What’s your business at this convention?” “Lecturer” she said. “I use information from personal experiences to debunk some of the popular myths about sexuality.” He curiously asked, “What are those myths?” “Well” she said, “One popular myth is that African Americans are the most well endowed, when actually it’s the native American Indian who is most likely to possess that trait.” “Another popular myth is that Frenchmen are the greatest lovers when it’s actually men of Mexican descent.” “Also”, “the men who have the greatest stamina are the southern rednecks.” Suddenly the woman blushed and said, “I’m so sorry, I shouldn’t be discussing this with you, I don’t even know your name!” “Tonto” the man said, “Tonto Gonzales, but my friends just call me Bubba Jay,”
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!
