PGA DFS Showdown Picks & Projections: Cognizant Classic - Round 2

PGA DFS Picks & Projections on DraftKings for Round 2 of the Cognizant Classic

There are a lot of highly owned golfers near the cut line after Round 1, so it will be a very interesting Friday for the main slate. For Showdown, the AM wave played 1.2 strokes easier than the PM wave. This could be due to a few outlier rounds (Austin Smotherman -9 in the AM wave, Nico Echavarria -8 in the AM wave, Sami Valimaki +9 in the PM wave). I have a slight lean to the AM crowd in Round 2, but it’s not enough to make me fully stack that wave.
