Fantasy Golf: DraftKings Selections for the 2019 British Open
By Hans Geevers
Bargain Draftkings Picks
If you are looking for lower-priced players to complete your lineups I like the following to make the cut and possibly top 25.
Bernd Wiesberger (7,100) – 2 wins, a 16th place, and a 2nd in his last 4 starts on the European Tour. Not sure if stepping up to this elite field will be too much for him. However, in my opinion, his recent quality play on links tracks cannot be overlooked. I think he should be in some Draftkings GPP (guaranteed prize pool) lineups at a minimum.
Andy Sullivan (7,000) – Has made 8 of his last 9 cuts on the European Tour. In July, finished 28th at the Scottish Open and in a tie for 2nd at the Irish Open.
Mike Lorenzo-Vera (7,000) – He has made 10 consecutive cuts on the European Tour. Finished in a tie for 2nd at the Irish Open and 16th at the PGA Championship.
Adam Hadwin (6,900) – Hadwin has made 6 of his last 7 cuts on the PGA Tour. Hadwin finished 6th at the RBC Canadian Open in June and 4th at the 3M Open earlier this month.
Jazz Janewattananond (6,600) – This young golfer has shown he has the ability to perform on a big stage. Primarily a player on the Asian Tour, Jazz has shown flashes of high-quality golf on the European and PGA Tour. He finished 3rd at the Maybank Championship in March and followed that up with a very impressive 14th at the PGA Championship in May. It should be noted that the PGA Championship was played at Bethpage Black, a very difficult golf course.
Good Luck! Enjoy the 148th edition of the British Open!
