Fantasy Golf: Honda Classic DraftKings value picks
Welcome back to the States, Tyrrell Hatton. The 26-year-old Englishman is in the midst of a remarkable streak over on the European Tour, and he’ll look to carry that momentum over to sunny Florida and the Honda Classic.
There’s plenty of reason to be confident in Hatton’s form, not the least of which was his outstanding debut here one year ago. Last February, Hatton finished tied for fourth at 7-under for the week. He had all but tamed the Bear Trap for most of the week, going 68-67-66 through three rounds. At -9, he was still four shots behind Rickie Fowler entering the finale, but three early bogeys cut those hopes short.
While Hatton hasn’t crossed the pond in a while, you can’t deny that he’s one of the hotter golfers in the world today. In his last ten European Tour starts, Hatton is 10-for-10. Not just in cuts made, but in top-20 finishes. In that stretch, he’s got a pair of wins at the Alfred Dunhill Links and the Italian Open, plus four more top-tens. Three weeks ago, he finished solo third at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic. Tough to ask for much more than that.
At $9,500, Hatton is close to the top of the salary list on DraftKings, but with the other moves we’ve made so far, we can feel comfortable rolling him out this week.
