PGA – Expert Recap and Grades – US Open
PGA DFS Picks US Open
Matt Fitzpatrick has now won a US Amateur and US Open at The Country Club in Brookline, Mass. What a fun round of golf on Sunday with so many peaks and valleys. There were three different golfers that had 2 shot leads at some point during the day on Sunday. Outside of the below recap from last week, be sure you’re staying up to date on our season long PGA Expert Standings. This week the Tour heads to the popular Travelers Championship and what should be another loaded field.

*****EXPERT GRADES*****
Grades are the result of a three step process.
First, the field is sorted by raw points achieved and assigned a grade 0-5, with 5 being best. Roughly the top 3-4% receive 5 points, the next 13-15% receive 4 points, the next 13-15% receive 3 points, and so on. In weeks with a cut, almost all MCs receive 0 points.
Next, we follow the same method described above, but we replace raw points with salary ($) / fantasy points (pts).
Finally, we weight the two results (2x raw points grade + value grade / 3) and assign a traditional letter grade.
