PGA Tour Fantasy Picks: Honda Classic
By Sam Belden
Ollie Schniederjans — $7,600
After an impressive amateur career and a rapid rise through the lower ranks of professional golf, Schniederjans is currently enjoying his rookie season on the PGA Tour. True to form, he’s wasted no time in proving his readiness for the game’s top level — he currently leads all rookies in top 10 finishes and has climbed to 35th place on the FedEx Cup points list.
With all of that working in his favor, it wouldn’t be at all surprising to see Schniederjans deliver another strong result this week. The Georgia Tech product has notched a pair of top 10s in his last three starts, taking home healthy checks at both the Farmers Insurance Open and last week’s Genesis Open. What’s more, he’s established himself as one of the PGA Tour’s more well-rounded players, ranking 30th in driving distance, 47th in strokes gained: approach-to-the-green and 58th in strokes gained: putting.
While he missed the cut in his Honda Classic debut a year ago, preparing for a PGA Tour event can be stressful when paired with life on the Web.com Tour. Schniederjans should be much more relaxed and confident this time around, especially with the momentum working in his favor. Given his form, he’s worth the investment in DFS.
