The PGA RotoBaller staff digs into their One and Done selections for the Corales Puntacana. Here are some under the radar plays and picks for this week's event.
Here at RotoBaller, we are always searching for ways to give our readers the best fantasy sports content possible. With that goal in mind, we are very proud of our weekly PGA “One and Done” column. In this feature, our golf staff of Joe Nicely, Spencer Aguiar and Josh Bennett will provide their weekly golf picks every Wednesday. The purpose of this article is to present you with alternative options to consider and hopefully make your selection a much easier process weekly. With that plan in mind, let's get started!
Last week's Corales Puntacana was definitely the weakest field we've seen in months, but we managed to put together some solid choices. I went with the young gun, Will Zalatoris, and he overcame a sluggish start to grab a share of eighth place for $117k. Spencer wasn't far behind, with his selection, Patrick Rodgers, posting a solid T11 that added $97k to Spencer's second-place total. Josh didn't have as much luck unfortunately, as Kristoffer Ventura was only able to bring in $9,580 for Team Jish.
This week's Sanderson Farms Championship has settled in as a "Swing Season" staple over the last decade. While the field isn't elite, it is certainly a huge upgrade over last week's available selections at Corales. Let's see who everyone is rolling with this week in Jackson!

One and Done Selections - Sanderson Farms Championship
Joe Nicely - Doc Redman
Alternate - Zach Johnson
We all know that these "Swing Season" events can be slim pickens when it comes to field strength. However, this week's Sanderson Farms Championships presents us with a handful of really strong options at the top of the board. Unfortunately for me, I've already used them in this contest, with names like Scheffler, Im, Burns, and even Zalatoris off the board for me.
In the absence of being able to choose one of this week's "elite" options, I'm rolling with one of the most explosive players that will be teeing it up in Jackson this week. Doc Redman brings a little volatility into play - he's missed three of 10 cuts since the restart - but I'm excited about the potential upside. Doc has posted T3 finishes in two of his last three starts and was last seen dropping a blistering final-round 62 at the Safeway Open earlier this month.
It's easy to forget that Redman is just 22-years-old...and with youth comes some inconsistency. However, it feels like a win is coming sooner rather than later for this young man and perhaps it will happen on this Country Club of Jackson layout that is annually a shootout.

Spencer Aguiar - Sungjae Im
Alternate - Charley Hoffman
I'd normally go with something a little more contrarian than Sungjae Im for the position I am currently in entering the week, but part of the skill in these contests is understanding who your opponents have left. A larger OAD might dictate going down an abnormal route, but I will take my guarantee of being the only member of this group that has Sungjae Im at his disposal.
Look, I'd feel a lot better if I could grab the South Korean in a situation where he was playing steadier golf entering the event, but I need upside at this stage and will live with whatever Im provides from a production standpoint.
The 22-year-old has gained a combined 10.2 strokes with his irons in his previous two events, giving me hope that his game might finally be turning around after a cold restart. It shouldn't hurt matters that Im has done most of his damage on Bermuda greens in the past, and I am willing to swing blindly for the sake of this contest. If you are in a similar position for your OAD, I would assume you will most likely need to go down a different route. Look at how many times a golfer has been used by the field and try to make the most educated guess you can for how aggressive you will need to get to mount a comeback.

Josh Bennett - Will Zalatoris
Alternate - Doc Redman
It seems as though this Will Zalatoris guy is pretty good at golf. Time will tell if he will be consistently good on the PGA Tour or if this is just a crazy good hot streak, but either way I’m going to hop on the bandwagon and hope he keeps it going for one more week. He’s been playing solid golf all-around, so in a field of players that are “specialty” guys, it’s a good time to take a chance on a guy that seems to do just about everything well. He should continue to be motivated as well since continued good play will give him that many more chances to get into PGA fields. Unlike a lot of my other ramblings through stats and reasons in past write-ups, I’m just keeping it simple for this week and rolling with a guy that’s just playing really good all-around golf.
