PGA – Expert Recap and Grades – US Open

PGA DFS Expert Grades US Open

Bryson made it look easy on Sunday as he cruised to a victory. Matthew Wolff just couldn’t match him in the final pairing and what started out as a hotly contested front 9 turned into a runaway win for The Hulk. Outside of the below recap from last week, be sure you’re staying up to date on our season long PGA Expert Standings. It’s off to Punta Cana for this week’s Tour stop.

*****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.
