Fantasy Golf: DraftKings Selections for the 2019 U.S. Open

Brandt Snedeker (7,500)

Brandt Snedeker has a long history of performing very well at the AT&T Pro Am that is played at Pebble each year. Sneds has always been one of the Tour’s best putters. Brandt has stated multiple times that he loves putting on Poa greens. He showed that last week at the RBC Canadian Open which also featured Poa green surfaces.

Brandt finished 4th at the RBC Canadian Open. Sneds also fired a course record 60 in the second round of that event.

Additional quality results for Brandt in 2019 are: 16th place at the Sony Open in January, a tie for 5th at The Players Championship in March, a tie for 16th at the PGA Championship, and a 19th place finish at the Charles Schwab Challenge last month.

It should be noted that the outstanding results that I just pointed for Snedeker this year have come on difficult golf courses. As I construct Draftkings lineups I do consider the quality of the golf courses that golfers perform well on as I evaluate overall performance.

With regard to statistics, Sneds  certainly has impressed in some key categories this year. Sneds is 2nd on the PGA Tour in strokes gained around the green. Additionally, he is 8th on Tour in strokes gained putting in 2019.

I expect his outstanding play to continue. I think he is also another great value for Draftkings players as well at only $7,500.

If you are looking for lower priced players to complete your lineups that I think will make the cut and have the potential for a top 20 finish:

Graeme McDowell (7,300)

Jimmy Walker (7,000)

Brian Stuard (6,600)

Best of luck to all the golfers out there this week. Best of luck to all of you with your Draftkings lineup’s as well!
