Favorite Plays

Cameron Young ($7,900)

I am calling my Cameron Young fade last week a slight win in the grand scheme of things. Ownership was a little less than I expected, which does hurt the argument marginally since it detracts from me placing him third in projected popularity (ended up landing eighth), but I do think we were able to reap some of those benefits in various markets, including a nice Ludvig Aberg wager over Young throughout four days of golf.

I understand the sentiment around East Lake not being a great course fit for the American this week at its core, especially since finding fairways helps to deliver your actual scoring influence. However, I would argue that this is a better venue for him than we had last week because of the heightened impact he ended up receiving in multiple areas of my sheet.

My model ranked Young first in this field for Off-The-Tee returns at Donald Ross courses, third in Expected Putting and third when you re-weigh his recent form to fit the anticipated dispersion of scoring marks that we have gotten in the past at East Lake.

Gamers are going to be massively off Young, despite touting him for weeks, and my only argument I want to make is that if you liked him at the BMW Championship, consider this a higher upside spot to deliver some true GPP difference-making potential. For me, that is all you could ask for in a 30-man field at $7,900.

Harry Hall ($7,000)

While Cameron Young at least has the distance to overcome a wayward driver, Harry Hall is always going to have an issue with his big stick since it is impossible to get the data off the tee to look encouraging when you are middle-of-the-pack for length and as inaccurate as they come. Think a little of Ben Griffin in that sense.

When you hear that answer and get a chalky Hall to enter the mix, you might be asking yourself, "Why am I intrigued about his prospects?" But you don't have to look further than his overall return in other areas to understand that Hall's breakthrough this summer could be here to stay, even if any of those renditions have lacked actual top-five upside.

The putter is as good as it gets on tour, and his birdie-making skills are always there to be on display if he can find the short grass off the tee.

Rory McIlroy ($11,300)

To Scottie? Or not to Scottie?

For DFS, I would argue that if you believe Scheffler will 100% win and that this tournament is a race for second place, I wouldn't put money into DFS for the week. That's not because you are wrong (you very well might be correct), but in most contests, you will be playing against someone who is 65%+ owned and is going to give you limited chances to stand out in a 30-man field when there are no real spots to deviate with your lineup. Sure, with the contrarian route of that answer comes true zero-dollar back potential since you are drawing dead if/when Scottie wins. However, the only path to actually making real money in larger-field GPPs is to fade Scottie and hope he comes 3rd-10th. With that answer, gives us the golfer who is the best East Lake player over the last handful of years (when we realize Xander isn't here).

McIlroy's prospects have shifted too far away from the top of the board over the last few months, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him pop again late in the year. Think of the Triple Crown races for horse racing, where a horse looks unbeatable but gets taken down in the last leg by a fresher horse that didn't go through all three grueling stages in its attempt for glory.

McIlroy is that fresher horse and is highly fit for the course.

Dumpster Dives

Chris Gotterup ($6,600), Sungjae Im ($6,200)

You might be asking yourself, "how did Sungjae Im get to East Lake after a terrible season? Is it because he bought a home next to the course after falling in love with the area during his first trip to Atlanta and refused to be denied an extra week of playing golf since we see him in action weekly?

Even though I like that story better than the real one of him qualifying because of a few elevated events where he found success, I actually think East Lake is a quality spot for him to find success again (at minimal ownership) since everyone wants to talk about how bad of a season he has had in 2025.

While the iron play is the worst in the field (nearly one shot worse in 2025 versus where he was in 2024), this is the kind of venue that allows him to display his other attributes, which include a steady driver and short-game that is still allowing him to compete on tour.
