PGA – Expert Recap and Grades – Wells Fargo Championship
PGA DFS Picks Wells Fargo Championship
Rory captured his 3rd Wells Fargo Championship title on Sunday. It was fun down the stretch with Rory getting himself in a bit of trouble towards the end of the round but he was able to finish it off with a bogey on 18. 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 is in Texas for the AT&T Byron Nelson.

*****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.
