The Open Championship: Weekend/Showdown Strategy

As is the case for many of you, my main slate PGA DFS lineups didn’t pan out as I had hoped. I had too much exposure to Adam Scott, Hideki Matsuyama, Rory McIlroy, and Marc Leishman to name a few. I have a few 6/6 lineups here and there, but it’s looking rather bleak at the moment. I always join weekend contests, but they have a little extra appeal this week with most of my week long lineups drawing dead.

This isn’t going to be a regular feature, but I got asked a few questions on Twitter about showdown picks and figured I’d write a short article since it’s the last major of the year. Let’s get to it!
