PGA DFS Showdown Picks & Projections: Rocket Classic - Round 3

PGA DFS Picks & Projections on DraftKings for Round 3 of the Rocket Classic
There were quite a few big names who missed the cut, which means you are looking good if you managed to get all 6 of your golfers to the weekend. It’s shaping up to be a fun weekend, as we have quite a few stars at the top of the leaderboard (Cameron Young, Patrick Cantlay, Rickie Fowler, and Xander Schauffele).
The forecast for Saturday is interesting, as the wind is forecast to be much stronger in the afternoon than in the morning. It’s not going to be unplayable wind by any means, but I do think the super late tee times will have tougher conditions. If you are in a tiebreaker scenario, lean toward the golfer with the earlier tee time in Round 3.
