$8,900-$8,000
I’m not sure how much exposure I’ll have in this group. With how the salary is structured I’ll be going with more of a stars and sleepers approach this week.
Having said that, I will have my fair share of exposure on Emiliano Grillo ($8,400). I like Grillo to get back on track this week.
After starting the season off with a win at the Frys.com Open, he missed the cut the following week at the Shriners Open.
Grillo has had time to celebrate, recover, and refocus back on golf. Sheshan is a course where he can bomb it down the middle and stick those iron shots right on top of the pin. Grillo should be back up near the top this Sunday and I like the price.
I like Charl Schwartzel ($8,100) this week, as well. With a no cut event I feel comfortable taking Schwartzel.
For some reason, I never have the best of luck when I take Schwartzel, but with no cut, with his price, and with how he’s playing I like him this week.
Bernd Wiesberger ($8,000) has been disappointing in the big events with strong fields. He has the game to compete here at Sheshan so I don’t mind picking him, but I won’t go crazy with the exposure, though.
Louis Oosthuizen ($8,800) is always a risk with how injury prone he is. Oosthuizen is just as likely to win as he is to withdraw. He’s worth a shot in some GPP lineups, but obviously, not a cash game play.
Chris Wood ($8,000) is on fire, will he be able to keep it up this week? Lee Westwood ($8,100) played well last week, will he carry that momentum over this week?
