PGA DFS Showdown Picks & Projections: U.S. Open - Round 2

PGA DFS Picks & Projections on DraftKings for Round 2 of the U.S. Open
The U.S. Open is officially underway! Many (including me) expected a delay in Round 1. While there was a delay, it wasn’t at the expected time or for the expected reason. With 60+ MPH wind gusts in the forecast, I didn’t think they were going to play much in the afternoon. However, the delay came in the morning due to fog.
The afternoon delay never happened because the USGA had great foresight, which is something the PGA TOUR has been lacking over the last 5 years. The USGA slowed down and softened the greens while making the pin placements as easy as possible. This allowed them to keep the golfers on the course. However, thanks to the morning delay, many golfers were unable to complete their first round.
After the wind started to die down at the end of Thursday, Wyndham Clark went nuclear. He currently leads the way at -6 and holds a 4-shot lead. As you can see below in my new weather graphic, the wind looks consistent all day on Friday. I’m not trying to play for any weather advantage in Round 2.
