Saturday Showdown DFS Targets – WGC-FedEX

Saturday Showdown DFS Targets

It would have been hard to envision the current leaderboard with such a loaded field coming into the weekend, but here we are. 
Saturday offers us a brand new opportunity to get in the green this weekend! Here are my Saturday Showdown DFS Targets!

One thing to keep in mind when building lineups for Showdown slates is that you do not need to only target golfers who played well the day before. We naturally tend to favor golfers who are playing well but it is just as common for a professional golfer to have a poor day, fix their mistakes and come back with a low score the next day, just like we saw from Rory on Friday.

Dratking’s Showdown DFS Targets

Justin Thomas ($10,700): Justin’s ball striking was solid on Friday he just could not make many putts. He has a very low round 3 scoring average this season and while you will have to pay up for him, “you get what you pay for.”
Friday strokes gained:
APP: +2.14
OTT: +0.04
PUTT: -3.35

Brooks Koepka ($9,000): While he may be inconsistent, when Brooks is on he is capable of winning any tournament. He came out super hot on Thursday and crashed back down to earth a bit on Friday. However, when you take a deeper look his ball striking was fantastic on Friday but his putting was just terrible. He lost -4.64 strokes putting, the worst in the field by a large margin. If he can fix the putter, I like him to win this tournament.
Friday strokes gained:
APP: +3.01
OTT: -0.65
PUTT: -4.64

Dustin Johnson ($7,900): Simply put, he is way too good at golf to be priced beneath Henrik Stenson & Ian Poulter. It looks like his blow up from the previous couple of weeks are behind him, he has a solid history at this course and he is capable of having a super low round which is what you need to win a showdown GPP tourney. 
Friday strokes gained:
APP: +1.43
OTT: +0.41
PUTT: +0.20

Scottie Scheffler ($7,100): I was on Scottie before the tournament. He was ok on Thursday (-1) but he started to heat up on Friday going -3 for the day bringing him to -4 for the tournament and a share of 12th place. He is striking the ball really well this week and with a low score on Saturday he can put himself in a position to win the tournament on Sunday.
Friday strokes gained:
APP: +2.31
OTT: +0.57
PUTT: -0.74

Byeong Hun An ($6,700): An went -5 on Friday and currently has a share of 3rd place. His ball striking has been on point and frankly $6,700 just feels underpriced for him at this point. 
Friday strokes gained:
APP: +2.08
OTT: +1.61
PUTT: +0.02

Sung Kang ($6,600): At this price, I have to mention Sung here. He is currently -6 (-5 on Thursday, -1 on Friday) and is hitting the ball great, leading the entire field in SG APP on Friday at +4.08. He was not good off of the tee losing 1.64 strokes and he also lost almost 2 strokes putting. If he can make a few improvements tomorrow he can go five under again or better!
Friday strokes gained:
APP: +4.08
OTT: -1.64
PUTT: -1.99
