It’s quite the shake up to see the top owned golfers this week compared to last week! There were some bigger names in this field with Matt Kuchar and Brandt Snedeker but none of them made the top 5 highest owned! An interesting week for DFS fans to dig deep on a very different styled course from last week! Let’s see where everyone went!

Adam Hadwin (29% GPP, 49% Cash) – Hadwin might seem like an odd name to take the top spot in GPPs, but he’s been on fire lately, everyone remembers his win, and the price was pretty paltry. The Team RBC member checked all the boxes this week, and while it wasn’t a runaway obvious choice, he’s our highest owned GPP golfer!

Jason Dufner (24% GPP, 57% Cash) – Dufner’s been popular lately, and been golfing well, so no reason to get off him now! He’s backed up his popularity with a strong cut-making record this year, and has had strong cut-making records on this course and some others recently. The combination makes DFS fans really comfortable in cash, but wary of upside and a high ownership percentage in GPPs!

Tyrrell Hatton (23% GPP, 11% Cash) – The British Bulldog really broke a lot of hearts last week, mine included. In many senses a blowout performance on the biggest stage in the world in bad weather could be written off. What we see here is a lot of sharp players staying the course hoping for a rebound, but a huge dip in “trust” by everyone skipping him in cash games. I’m not scared! But I’ve been burned a LOT before!

Luke Donald (18% GPP, 35% Cash) – This one kind of seems a little backwards to me. The course form is one of the strongest we’ll see on tour, but the recent form didn’t support the salary at all. In my mind that’s a recipe for “try him in a few GPP lineups and leave the rest be”. As of this writing he’s surged out to an early lead, much to the chagrin of all the course history buffs who were scared away due to the fact that he’s shown zero form recently!

Russell Henley (13% GPP, 2% Cash) – Guy’s been red-hot, but got a salary to back it up this week. Your average DFS fan balked – we know Henley pretty well and this is bound to be a flash in the pan, right? How could we build around him with the likes of Kuchar or Kisner available? A lot of projections had him coming in a little more popular, but at the end of the day the field is betting against his hot streak.

It’s not the Masters but there’s $100k on the line and it’s going to be a fun one! Good luck guys!!
