WGC-Bridgestone Invitational: Top five DraftKings daily fantasy picks

For Branden Grace, recent form meets a consistently improving history at Firestone Country Club. Grace has three top-15 finishes in his last four starts worldwide, and three straight top-25s at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. You’ll be hard-pressed to find someone with more positive momentum, especially at a high-value price.

At just $8,600 on DraftKings, Grace presents a value that’s almost impossible to pass up on, fitting perfectly into your $50,000 salary cap. And his game is a fantastic fit for the challenges that Firestone presents.

No, he’s not the longest hitter in the world, and on its face, that looks like a disadvantage. But he possesses talents built for links golf – a low, running ball flight that allows him to work against wind and keep the ball in the fairway when it’s needed.

He put it all together at Royal Birkdale just less than two weeks ago. In the third round of The Open, Grace became the first player in major history to shoot a round of 62. Conditions in Southport had been softened up from some heavy rains, winds had died down – a lot like what this weekend at Firestone may look like if storms roll through.

The fact that the WGC is a no-cut event only adds to the allure of some of these “stretch” type of players. Even if they get off to a slow start, they’ll have the whole weekend to make a move. Keep an eye on Grace to add that needed value to your squad.
