Alex Noren Falters on Sunday at Carnoustie

Alex Noren entered the final round in a share of sixth place at the Open Championship, but a three-over 74 slid the Swede down the leaderboard and into a share of 17th. Noren, who came into Carnoustie as a real sleeper to capture the championship, will undoubtedly be disappointed with how he closed the show […]

PGA DFS: Vegas Report - RBC Canadian Open

Welcome back to the PGA DFS: Vegas Report. What a weekend it was! Francesco Molinari held off the who's who of the golf world to capture not only his first Major but also the first Major ever in men's golf for the country of Italy. The Italian ended Friday at even-par and six shots back […]

Marc Leishman Has a Disappointing Open Championship

There were only a handful of players yet to win a Major being mentioned as possible contenders at Carnoustie. Marc Leishman just so happened to be near or at the top of most of those discussions. Leishman entered the Open Championship with relatively ordinary form, but nobody seemed to care with Leishman's recent track record […]

Phil Mickelson Posts a Top-25 Finish at Carnoustie

Phil Mickelson shot a one-under par at the Open Championship to finish in a share of 24th place. Lefty finished T10 in birdies made at Carnoustie and T17 in bogeys. Those two stats would make you think that Mickelson had a slighter higher finish than he did, but unfortunately, he finished T54 in double-bogeys made. […]

Jordan Spieth Falters On Sunday at the Open Championship

Jordan Spieth, a three-time Major winner, will be very disappointed that he did not capture his fourth Major at Carnoustie. The American entered Sunday in a three-way tie at nine-under par with Kevin Kisner and Xander Schauffele and was the odds-on favorite to capture the Claret Jug. A grueling final round in strong wind conditions […]

Hideki Matsuyama Disappoints at Carnoustie

Hideki Matsuyama shot a four-over par at Carnoustie, missing the cut on the number. Matsuyama opened Thursday's round with a faulty four-over 75 but rallied during his round on Friday, putting himself at one-over par for the tournament with just one hole to play. The Japanese golfer appeared to have the weekend in sight, but […]

Justin Thomas Shoots Friday 77 to Miss Cut at Carnoustie

Justin Thomas continued his struggles playing links golf, missing the cut at the Open Championship in excruciating fashion. Thomas opened Thursday with a two-under 69, placing him on the first page of the leaderboard and in early contention for the Claret Jug. Unfortunately, Thomas' dream of being "The Champion Golfer of the Year" was short-lived. […]

Adam Scott Posts Ninth Consecutive Made Cut at The Open

Adam Scott shot a two-under par at the Open Championship, finishing in a share of 17th place. While a top-20 showing is impressive, maybe even more remarkable is the fact that Scott has now posted nine straight Open Championship made cuts. During the nine-year stretch, the Aussie has posted four top-10 finishes, an additional four […]

Thomas Pieters Posts Top-30 at Carnoustie

Thomas Pieters has found himself on a mini heater over the past month and a half. The Belgian has now reeled off six consecutive made cuts, which includes a share of 28th place at the Open Championship last week. Pieters has had arguably his worst year as a top-level professional but seems to be finally […]

Adam Hadwin Continues to Slip in Rankings

Adam Hadwin shot a one-over par at the Open Championship, finishing in a share of 35th place. Making cuts on tour hasn't been difficult for Hadwin. In fact, the Canadian has made an astonishing 22 of his last 23 cuts, a stat that puts him into a rarified company. The issue continues to be the […]

Satoshi Kodaira Makes Surprising Cut at Carnoustie

Satoshi Kodaira entered Carnoustie in terrible form. The 36th-ranked golfer in the world had missed six of his last seven worldwide cuts but was able to put together a solid one-over par at the Open Championship to finish in a share of 35th place. Despite the terrible run of golf Kodaira has been displaying, he […]

Luke List Makes First Open Championship Cut

Luke List shot a two-over par at the Open Championship to finish in a share of 39th place. The American came into Carnoustie only having competed in four previous tournaments held on European soil, which includes List's surprising share of third place at the Scottish Open the week before the Open. With the made cut […]

Dylan Frittelli Misses Open Championship Cut

Dylan Frittelli shot an eight-over par at the Open Championship, missing the cut by five strokes. The South African opened Thursday with an even-par 71 but was unable to keep the momentum going on Friday, hurling an eight-over 79. The 28-year-old came into Carnoustie as a trendy long shot selection after making eight of his […]

Kyle Stanley Ties Career-Best Major Finish at Carnoustie

The title may make it sound like Kyle Stanley had a better showing than he indeed did. The American shot a two-over par, placing him in a share of 39th place. His best finish before Carnoustie came during the 2012 Open Championship, where he also finished tied for 39th. It is incredible to think that […]

HaoTong Li Has Made the Cut at Every Major This Year

HaoTong Li came into Carnoustie with some pretty lofty expectations after last year's third-place finish at Royal Birkdale's version of the Open Championship. While Li wasn't able to replicate his top-five result this time around, he did provide a respectable share of 39th place. With the made cut, Li has now made all three of […]

Si Woo Kim Could Not Find Any Rhythm at Carnoustie

Si Woo Kim shot a seven-over par at the Open Championship, finishing in a share of 67th place. Kim didn't play all that poorly, but he could never get things going for an extended period of time. The 23-year-old finished tied for 16th in total pars made with 48 but only ended in a share […]

Bryson DeChambeau Makes First Open Championship Cut

Bryson DeChambeau had question marks surrounding his health entering last week's Open Championship at Carnoustie. After a withdrawal during his John Deere Classic title defense because of a shoulder injury, it was uncertain if the young American would be healthy enough for the third Major of the year. Thankfully, though, DeChambeau helped to dispel some […]

Jason Dufner Starts and Ends Badly At Carnoustie

Jason Dufner shot a four-over par at Carnoustie, finishing in a share of 51st place. Dufner put together superb Friday and Saturday rounds of 70 and 68, respectively, but four-over par 75s on Thursday and Sunday bookended his tournament. With the made cut at Carnoustie, the 41-year-old extended his cuts-made streak at Open Championship venues […]

Chez Reavie Misses Another Cut

Chez Reavie's lousy run of golf continued at the Open Championship. Reavie shot a four-over par at Carnoustie, missing the cut on the number. The American fired an opening-round two-under 69 to place himself on the first page of the leaderboard but a Friday six-over 77 not only knocked him off of the first page […]

Cameron Smith Makes the Cut at Carnoustie

Cameron Smith shot a 10-over par during the Open Championship to finish in 78th place. Making it to the weekend is always a plus, but only Keegan Bradley finished worse than he did of players who made the cut. The young Aussie has been struggling since his share of fifth place at the Masters in […]

Jordan Spieth Soars to the Top of the Leaderboard

Jordan Spieth fired a six-under par 65 at Carnoustie, catapulting himself into a three-way tie for first. Spieth, who has had a frustrating season on tour, would become the youngest player in over a century to defend their Open title successfully. If Spieth is to get it done, he will have to hold off a […]

Phil Mickelson Is Running Out of Opportunities

Athletes will always have to deal with the inevitably of aging. Some players quickly find themselves over the hill, while others age gracefully and compete for a very long time at the highest level. Phil Mickelson, without a doubt, falls into the latter category. The 48-year-old has been a steady presence on tour all season, […]

Matt Kuchar Struggling Coming Into Carnoustie

Matt Kuchar rolls into the Open Championship this year showing very minimal form. The cut-making machine has missed two straight cuts in a row, which is the first time since 2011 that the American hasn't made the weekend in back-to-back events he has played. On top of struggling with his game, Kuchar may have to […]

Bryson DeChambeau Will Give Carnoustie a Try

The verdict is still up in the air on exactly how healthy Bryson DeChambeau is after pulling out of the John Deere Classic last week, but the young American is at Carnoustie and thankfully appears to be OK. DeChambeau suffered a scary looking shoulder injury during his John Deere Classic title defense, so it is […]

Luke List is Playing Well Coming Into Carnoustie

Luke List fired a 15-under par at the Scottish Open, finishing in a share of third place. The American got off to a blistering seven-under 63 start on Thursday, which just so happened to be the lowest round ever shot at the Gullane course in Scotland. Back-to-back rounds of 69 on Friday and Saturday drifted […]

Justin Thomas Will Be Lightly Owned at Carnoustie

Justin Thomas comes into the Open Championship as one of the forgotten high-end DFS plays. The young American is the fifth most expensive player on DraftKings at $10,000 but only is projected to be the 32nd highest owned player on the site. Those statistics obviously don't coincide perfectly with each other since value plays will […]

Dylan Frittelli is an Under-The-Radar Sleeper

Dylan Frittelli has the opportunity to make for a game-changing pick in large GPP fields. Frittelli is an excellent links player and is currently providing some exceptional form. The South African has been a radically different player in Europe than he has been in the United States. In Frittelli's last nine starts on foreign soil, […]

Hideki Matsuyama Still Eyes First Major

People often forget that Hideki Matsuyama is only 26 years old and has played in just 23 total Majors. Often in sports, everyone tries to figure out who the next superstar of their particular game is and crown them as the future. But in the case of an athlete like Matsuyama, when he doesn't achieve […]

Cameron Smith is Lacking Form Coming Into Carnoustie

Cameron Smith recorded a share of 42nd place at the Scottish Open last week. Smith came into the week having missed four consecutive cuts in a row, so posting any positive result can only be viewed as a good thing, but the lack of quality in the finish still makes you think that Smith is […]

Thomas Pieters Brings Good Form Into Carnoustie

Thomas Pieters' resurgence continued at last week's Scottish Open. Pieters posted his fifth straight made cut and in the process posted his first top-10 finish since January of this year. Pieters, who had fallen all the way from 34th in the world at the beginning of the year to his ranking pre-Scottish Open of 82nd, […]
