Houston Open

It’s been a rough start to the season for DFS. This could be due to the fact that we are dealing with a very small sample, but the fall swing season feels a bit more random than when we get into the bigger events in the spring. The fact that the new cut rule has already had a big impact on the number of 6-of-6 lineups making it through the cut each week only makes these events more difficult to predict. Don’t be afraid to fade the chalk over the next couple of months, especially non-elite golfers. We have a weak field set for the Houston Open, which sets up well for a stars and scrubs build on all of the major DFS sites. If you want to hear my takes on the Italian Open, be sure to watch my model breakdown video that is released each Tuesday afternoon.
