On FD my 3/6 is 48* points ahead of my 5/6. .. Go Dustin/Rose/Piercry I guess??
Brooks beats DJ in a playoff.
Same here. Was expecting at least 30% 6/6 start of the day and nine players on the cut line leaves me with one 6/6. One of my few line ups without DJ as well.
I wish DK would make bigger Showdown SE GPPs
I remember at the beginning of the week a comment from a caddie. Only so many guys can fly it 300, those are the guys. The USGA page has the daily layouts, peppered at the top with these guys. Fowler being the one exception avg 270 to Jimmy Walkers 321 after 2 days. Like they are playing 2 different courses.

No way its only 500:1, I’m thinking more like 20,000:1. The power of parlays
Edit it was 3,800:1. Odds not on long as I would have thought on some of those guys to miss the cut.
Can you still make noise in the Millionaire with a 5/6?
If there all in the top 10 maybe
ahhhhhhhh the 3rd round showdown…time to recoup some money boys! I feel this is the only day I actually can pick a decent team, not sure why but lets go Grace! I am 100% on him today, so be forewarned if you have him. This may not end well….
That’s what I was thinking.
Help From the RG group. Can someone link me to the article posted after the Masters interviewing the DK milli winner ? The guy that got married that very weekend.Still find it an amazing story. Really happy for that guy. Has to be around here somewhere, exhausted looking for it…
Thanks
Any thoughts on the weekend golf on FD? Points for scores on holes only, no bonus points for what position you’re in. So looking at guys who will play well over the weekend regardless of where they will ultimately finish. I like weekend fireworks from JT and Mickelson. Also like ZJ to play well over the weekend and Gary Woodland.
How’s the layout today. Rnd 2 I heard they shaved several hundred yards off…I imagine those are back on today
Well, I’m not getting married this weekend (didn’t enter the millie either) BUT……….I have a 12:24 today with my friend Phil and could use some money. If I DO cash for three digits from my 12 Fore lineups, I’m willing to do a little write up to give a little insight into my strategy and overall DFS thought process.
Noren, Reed, Matty Fitz, and Fowler to all play well today and move up in the showdown.
Need to shower. Threw a single into showdown last night. Need to finish in the top half of top 1% to win 2 dozen, mint, used ProV1’s on $8.
Going to get crushed this week. Threw a few into Showdown playing the bogey avoidance angle and no DJ. Hoping for the best today.
Didn’t learn the first time fading DJ. Most likely won’t learn again
You need conditions to worsen where lots of players score near zero over the weekend and your guys to shoot near par with multiple birdies in addition to having the winner and a few top 5’s

I’m all in on Fleetwood and Grace in the Showdown. Banking on links golfers shining today. DJ will make at least 1 double bogey. His shots gained putting us outrageous and it will catch up with him today.
Noticed some people playing Woods and Lowry in their lineups. Had to be a mistake. Can’t see that many negative numbers today to justify putting 2 MC Players in your lineup.

Interesting fact from US Open: If DJ was field average on strokes gained putting and around the green for the the first 2 rounds, he would have been at +9 and missed the cut!!!!!
Stenson Fisher 100% stack in showdown!! Took more early guys than late guys
Only played 3 lineups but took mostly guys in the +3 to 7 range who should get best of weather and not deal with late afternoon winds and driest conditions

Looking at ownership I’m the biggest Hatton fan for showdown today. 5% in cash and 4% in the $8. I loved it when I saw his price

Yeah I have grace, mats, Jimmy Walker, oosty in that range. Tons of guys that were underpriced and could have 66 kinds of days.
