PGA DFS: Round 3 Showdown Picks & Projections - Valspar Championship
Showdown Picks and Projections – Round 3
Weather Forecasts
Round 3 Preview
We officially have a cut on a Friday, which means we have tee times available for round three. As predicted, my main slate lineups absolutely imploded on Friday. The good news is that we have a few outright bets in the mix and that we can always hit up the showdown lobby. I typically like to target chasers on Saturday, but the forecast sets up well for golfers that are already near the top of the leaderboard. We have a lot of wind until about 2:00 PM local time, then some potential rain, and then the wind really dies off. If the forecast holds, the golfers that go out late will have better conditions and potentially a softer golf course.
