Greenbrier Classic: Top 5 featured DraftKings picks
By Sam Belden
Bill Haas — $10,800
This Wake Forest product broke out of his springtime slump in style and now looks capable of anchoring any lineup. With plenty of momentum heading into this week, as well as some impressive course history at the Greenbrier, Haas belongs on your fantasy shortlist.
Haas rolls into this week on a run of four consecutive top 25 finishes, including a tie for fifth at the U.S. Open and a tie for 13th at the Quicken Loans National just last week. His much improved ball striking has been the main reason for his turnaround — he ranked inside the top 20 in strokes gained: approach-the-green in each of his last three starts. What’s more, Haas is the owner of a strong track record at the Old White TPC: two top 10s, including a tie for second in 2011 and a tie for ninth two years later. He currently ranks 11th on the PGA Tour in strokes gained: around-the-green, a nice distinction.
Haas is no stranger to success at these smaller events, so look for him to extend his productive run at the Greenbrier Classic. At $10,800 in DraftKings, he’s no bargain, but he could give your lineup the boost it needs to land in the money.
