This was a much easier pick before the happenings of Monday night in Atlanta. The University of Georgia alum was all set to celebrate a Bulldogs national championship in front of playing partner – and Alabama product – Justin Thomas. Then things went sideways in the second half.

No, football won’t have any impact on this week’s tournament in Hawaii, but gridiron ties run deep in SEC country. The story practically writes itself.

On a more serious note, Kisner looks like a strong bet for the Sony Open, especially when it comes to DraftKings daily fantasy. He’s only played two official events since the end of the 2016-17 season, finishing tied for fourth at the RSM Classic in November, then returning to action with a T17 at last week’s Sentry Tournament in Champions. In between, he finished T12 at the Hero World Challenge, and T11 at the QBE Shootout. He’s not white-hot by any means, but he’s stayed active and steady throughout.

Kisner is heating up at Waialae, too. After missing four straight cuts in Honolulu from 2011 to 2015, he’s put together back-to-back top-five finishes in the first full-field event of the year. Statistically, there are no glaring weaknesses to be worried about, either.

At $10,100 on DraftKings, Kisner provides a ton of value, while leaving you enough money to balance the lower portion of your lineup. It’s almost impossible to pass on that kind of potential – and we’re not.
