Can’t wait to see my guys Kisner Hubbard and Dahmen all under 7.5k again

It’s Phatrick!

Got beat up this weekend.
But did some good backtesting of algos and proved something – now just need some free time to sort it out.

I think Kis long term and short term success puts him into $7800-7900 territory even in this strong field. Be interested in whether Hubbs cracks $7k – he was laughably underpriced @ Wyndham.

This is one of my favorite courses on tour; I love the reno that Gil Hanse did here a decade or so ago. It’s too bad they don’t play here annually anymore.

For DFS this week, my initial thoughts are:
With so much new and young talent playing this week (for the first time) and with the most recent course history being 2 years ago at the 2018 Dell Technologies Championship, I’m pretty much throwing away course history here unless it is really terrible as those who had some success here are now playing against 50-75 different players in this field and many don’t have the same golf games they did 2-5 years ago.

tiger is playing this one, right? i’ve never actually rostered him in DFS….always wanted to but was concerned w/ his back and the fact that he doesn’t play often. but he always seems to make the cut. is he worth the price? (which i’m sure will be over 9K?)

Prices are out. He’s $8700

oh great, thanks. they must have just added them cause i was just on DK and didn’t see it.

haha Kisner 7600 Dahmen 7100 and Hubbard 6600 they just won’t move these guys

Can someone refresh my memory as to why Tiger WD’d last year?

i believe back stiffness?

So are we using the recurring Happy Meal that is available in the League section of DK labeled the Wyndham?

Tiger Woods has withdrawn during a tournament for the first time since his return to competitive golf following spinal fusion surgery, citing an oblique strain Friday morning prior to the second round of the Northern Trust.Aug 9, 2019

No This week.

First glance, Hovland and Niemann are tasty at their prices.

i’m no expert but on first glance some of these guys are priced very low. would definitely be possible to squeeze two 10K guys into your lineup if going that route.

i wanna do a balanced build but because of the pricing i could see that being a very popular strategy.

I’ve developed a better OWGR called the Professional Golf Rating (PGR). New PGR rankings are out! Here are the notable jumps from last week:

21. B. Horschel (+4)
34. K. Kisner (+5)
53. T. Pieters (+11)
54. T. Detry (+16)
86. D. Redman (+19)
96. R. Henley (+19)
107. D. McCarthy (+21)
129. S. Kim (+29)
189. J. Herman (+111)

DK salaries have been added for the Northern Trust! Check out the second tab to see recent form for all players.

@JStocksSmith

Ughhhhh. Have to play him now.

Looking over the list of guys who made the Top 125, I’m always surprised at a couple names who made it as I don’t remember them doing anything all year. Shocked to see Zac Blair, Hoffman and Wyndham Clark making it as all I remember of them is many MC’s and bad weekend finishes.

Also surprised at a few that didn’t make it like I was sure Cink, Power and Hadley would have been around 100th-ish but I guess they had bad weekends too and not enough Top 25’s

This is the last “kinda” full field event of the season with a actual 36-hole cut. Next week in Chicago it is only 70 players (no-cut) and then just 30 in Atlanta for the Tour Championship.

I hate small field no-cut events so after this week I’ll scale back my normal amount of lineups until the Safeway Open in September. I like watching the Fed Ex playoff events but hate them after this week for DFS purposes.

I’m playing 2 of those 3 for sure. Sell me some Joel Dahmen?

I think ownership will be spread out because of values through salary ranges. Will make it a challenge to limit pool size. Like Morikawa and Simpson at top.Should I be concerned about first start after pga winger Mor.?

My week for Beat the Forum.

Loaded contests in the League lobby. I’ll monitor through the week, if I need to add more will post here when I do.

I’m rolling on consecutive weeks of 6/6’s, so you better get that money in, because this will be the week everything does not go my way.

No I think Tim accidentally made it recurring and when he shows up he will add the Northern Trust one and if we ignore the Wyndam #2 it will go away

My two 6/6’s only minimum cashed for $40 each in the $25 last week with SWK, Munoz and Niemann not helping move me up Sunday

Think I’ll just put my three LU’s in the $5 and play more single entry SD, WE and Capt Crunch mode this week

Yeah, my 6/6 only got me $50 in the $25 tourney. And I was so excited when after day 1 I was in something like 20th place too…such a slow disappointment as the rest of the weekend went on.
