PGA DFS Round 2 Showdown Picks and Projections – The American Express

We had an interesting Round 1 at The American Express. La Quinta Country Club has historically been the easiest of the 3 courses, but they have always been fairly close. The Pete Dye Stadium Course was by far the toughest of the 3 courses on Thursday. For Round 2 Showdown, I have given a 10% boost to any golfer playing the La Quinta Country Club or the Nicklaus Tournament Course. I will be exclusively targeting golfers playing on those 2 courses on Friday.
