I’d like to start off by congratulating all six people out there who had Davis Love III this week. Really nice work, guys. Next, I’d like to apologize to anyone who hopped aboard the Billy Ho train with me. What a colossal failure that pick was. Finally, a little bit of positive news… the Drive…
Jason Day finally won his first major after being so close for so long. Good for him. Even though he was paired up with Spieth, and he no doubt had the weight of potentially falling short again on his shoulders, he was unflappable. At no point on Sunday did I ever think he was going…
These WGCs sure are fun, huh? Elite fields, tough (but fair) courses, and a lot of movement on Sundays. In the span of an hour, I went from scooping all my games, to getting shut out, and finally back to cashing across the board. At one point, after bogeys from Bubba, Streb, Webb, Keegan, and…
Troy Merritt’s last six tournaments: CUT, CUT, CUT, CUT, CUT, 1st (what.), and he hadn’t posted a round in the 60s in over a month. It was tough to see this win coming. Well, for me at least. There were a couple of guys in the Drive the Green that did see it coming (we’ll…
So… I think the strategy this week was to just pencil in the two best golfers in the field and fill out the rest of your roster with obvious value plays and guys with good course history. Who knew it was that simple to win lots of money? The top 33 entries in DraftKings’ Drive…
16th Hole: SSSPPPIIIEEEEEEEEEEEETTTHHH!!! 17th Hole: It’s okay, he can birdie 18. 18th Hole: ((Phone ringing in backswing)) Uhhhhhh. GG Grand Slam. I had 0% Spieth ownership this week, but I was still rooting for him to keep his magical run alive. Not since prime Tiger have I been this invested in a golfer’s performance; I’m…
Eighteen holes in, it looked like Jordan Spieth wanted nothing to do with the Quad Cities. Some DFS higher-ups were either bracing for a MC/WD or bragging about their 0% Spieth ownership. Fifty-four Fifty-six holes later, there he was, raising another trophy on the 18th green. Spieth posted rounds of 64 and 61 on Friday…
What an exciting Sunday finish! We had 20+ guys in contention through the weekend. Robert Streb breaks his putter mid-way through his final round, yet somehow he managed to roll in five birdies with a wedge and was one five-foot par-save away from winning the thing outright. And Tiger was relevant! But maybe he should’ve…
Another great week for PGA DFS! Bubba Watson defeated Paul Casey on the second playoff hole to win the Travelers Championship. On DraftKings, “bourbonpoker” held off “haveyouheardy” by 1.5 points to win the $100,000 prize. Not bad for $3. Let’s take a look at the winning lineup: Bubba Watson (21.0%) $11800 – 121 Paul Casey…
