PGA Draftkings - Memorial Tournament - June 2nd 2022

Thanks to you all for supporting my efforts to deliver my unique perspective on DFS. This week we will dive into the Memorial and continue to build this page up to lineup lock so check back daily!

What we know:

This course has historically proven that history matters. That means course history lists should be used as a helpful tool to find your core this week. We also know that Tee to green and Approach play is going to be imporant, while putting is a bit less important than last week. Something interesting in the last 3 years is that the Around the Green numbers seem to require above average performances too. Another tidbit, 2 of the past 5 winners here led the field in GIR at this course. These keys can unlock a path to finding the top 6 plays for your lineup.

Last update: 10pm CST (Likely Final)

So Cantlay seemingly poking his face out to begin the week. 4 top 10s hereso I will say that he will be a starting point for me. He won last year with Rahm dropping out. Last year, he led the field in GIR at the event, top play tee to green and approach (minus Rahm who WD while leading), and he was top 3 in around the green stats. If he remains a green dot, I'm going right back there. Hideki, Spieth and Bradley all are showing a level of history + optimal and therefore I recommend a deeper look at them as well (bottom right is the history table). Morikawa and Ancer are also lurking out there in the green, but you have to sacrafice value to get there.

If you prefer my filtered view: (high odds for ownership only)

Looking at potential pairings to core up, Adam Scott begans to surface. Same with Horschel and Jason Day on Fanduel, who has made 4 of his last 5 cuts. Lahiri showed up recently as well as an intruiging leverage play. The problem is that he missed the cut that week I went that way, yet he has made 4 of his last 5 cuts.

It would be weird if I didnt give a shoutout to Cam Young, the dude I think we should all be playing until he wins a tournament. Its coming. Morikawa is right behind him and he has hit three separate lists now as well so I will think about it. Cam Smith also looking like he has his approach game going better than just about everyone so that will be an interesting angle too.

Some insight on who has good form coming into the week, Davis Riley has been on a tear. Gotta respect the guy with that many top 15 performances for the price.

Here are the most optimal percentages I am seeing on my final run. Smith, Young and Lowry should hold up as chalk. I dont have a problem with them, but someone has to fail. Who is it going to be?

As far as my leverage plays, these stand out the best:
