Travelers Championship
Golfers I Am Overweight On
Jordan Spieth – Yes, the putter remains a massive issue, but I liked some of the signs he showed late in his second round at the U.S. Open. If he wouldn’t have bogeyed his final two holes, everyone would have been talking about his four consecutive birdies to get through the cut. Then, he would have been one of the first golfers out on Saturday in great conditions with a chance to climb way up the leaderboard, and this conversation would be drastically different. As it stands, he was saddled with his second straight missed cut, and nobody will want to play him here despite the fact that he ranks inside the top FIVE on Tour in both GIR and par four scoring despite his putting woes. He grades out as the top play statistically, and nobody will want to play him off the two missed cuts combined with the bias against the defending champion of an event. You can make a case for him as the top option, and he will likely fall past the first few picks in some DRAFT games. I am kind of hoping that I DON’T get the first pick this week in most of my games.
Daniel Berger – Berger found himself in contention on Sunday at the U.S. Open after firing a great round on Saturday before the conditions got too rough. The positive finish last week should have him brimming with confidence, something that was much needed after a surprising missed cut in Memphis at an event that he had previously won twice. His course history here is also rock solid, as he has posted top five finishes in each of the last two editions of this event. He ranks above average in my two key stats for this week despite his underwhelming year to date, and I would expect improvement as we get deeper into the summer. There’s top five upside here at a reasonable DRAFT asking spot in the second or third round.
