MJ Daffue Rides Hot Putter To Scotland

MJ Daffue has now placed T38 or better in three-straight PGA Tour events leading up to this week's Genesis Scottish Open. The key? An unconscious putting game. The 34-year-old has gained a combined 12.6 strokes putting over the last three outings, and he's been able to drive the ball well too, gaining 9.6 strokes off-the-tee […]

Yannik Paul A Low Upside Cut-Maker?

One $7,100 name on DraftKings that will be low-owned at the Genesis Scottish Open this week is 29-year-old Yannik Paul. While he's yet to rack up wins on the European Tour, the Germany native has quietly shown a consistent ability to make cuts thanks to his above-average off-the-tee game. Paul has made four of five […]

Is Alex Noren Rounding Into Form?

It's no secret that a strong Alex Noren week is typically fueled by a dialed-in approach game and a red-hot putter. The Sweden native has had more ups than downs so far in 2023, but a strong top-10 finish at the Rocket Mortgage Classic last time out showed glimpses of Noren's upside. If we pair […]

A Thorbjorn Olesen T30 Repeat Seems Unlikely

Denmark native Thorbjorn Olesen has lacked consistency both on the European Tour and in American events over the past couple of years, but he will look to back up a T30 finish in the 2022 Genesis Scottish Open when he revisits Scotland this week. The 33-year old started off the year hot on the DP […]

Can Adrian Meronk Hang With The Big Dogs?

Adrian Meronk has become very popular amongst the DP World Tour landscape, but his impressive tee-to-green skillset hasn't quite translated to any PGA Tour or Major events yet. The 30-year-old will look to change that this week with his second career showing in the Genesis Scottish Open after missing the cut in 2022. Meronk has […]

Robert MacIntyre Looks To Make Weekend In Homecoming

Coming off a fourth-place finish on the DP World Tour last week, Scotland native Robert MacIntyre will look to carry over his strong form to this week's Genesis Scottish Open. The 26-year-old missed the cut in his debut last season, but he made a splash the following week with a T34 finish at The Open. […]

Min Woo Lee A Total Wild Card In Scotland

Min Woo Lee is more expensive than normal this week, and a lot of that has to do with his win at the event. Lee won the 2021 version of the Scottish Open before the PGA Tour became part of the event. When he played last year among the best players in the world, Lee […]

Wyndham Clark Worth A Start This Week

Wyndham Clark isn't sneaking up on anyone anymore, but his stats at last year's Scottish Open might be surprising. Clark finished T16 despite a poor week on the greens, where he lost strokes. Since then, Clark has changed his clubs, but the main adjustment has been his putter winning nearly every week. If Clark can […]

Shane Lowry Likely To Have High Ownership

At $9,100 on DraftKings this week, it's likely Shane Lowry will be featured in a lot of lineups. It's only been a few years since Lowry won The Open Championship, something that other owners also remember. In addition to his solid history playing at Links courses, Lowry's short game has shown signs of improvement. Lowry […]

Jordan Spieth Has Special History At Links Courses

Jordan Spieth's past four months have produced wildly different results. Spieth has produced a number of top-five finishes at elite events like The Masters and the Memorial. On the other hand, Spieth has battled an injury and missed three of his last five cuts. Spieth has the talent to win any event, but his recent […]

Patrick Cantlay Playing Well At Links Courses

There isn't much course history for PGA players in this week's event with only one other unofficial elevated event, but Patrick Cantlay's is positive. Cantlay finished T4 in 2022 and followed it up with a T8 at The Open Championship. After Cantlay struggled on his three previous trips to The Open, Cantlay's form has turned […]

Scottie Scheffler Struggles With Putting At Scottish Open

Scottie Scheffler has only played the event once, but it went poorly. Last year, Scheffler missed the cut and had a rough week on the greens. That has been the only club that has held Scheffler back this season, so it's nothing new. However, with how expensive Scheffler is this week, per usual, he needs […]

Tari Eason Won't Need To Play Any More In Vegas

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason will not play any more summer league games just like Jabari Smith Jr. Eason has proven enough going into his second season in the league and the team won't risk him getting hurt in some meaningless games as they have a huge season on the horizon.

Jabari Smith Jr. Shut Down For The Rest Of Summer League

Houston Rockets forward Jabari Smith Jr. has shown enough for the team to shut him down for the rest of the summer.

His offensive game was looking great against […]

Xavier Edwards - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Xavier Edwards, 2B, Miami Marlins ANALYSIS: Remember him? While Edwards didn't make the top-25 this week, I do believe he's someone to keep on your radar at least. Despite having a trio of home runs over the last month, Edwards doesn't provide much in the way of power, but he could provide a solid […]

10 Surprising NBA Greats That Never Won The MVP Award

The NBA MVP award is the ultimate recognition of an individual's brilliance on the court.

Heston Kjerstad - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Heston Kjerstad, OF, Baltimore Orioles ANALYSIS: Over the last 30 days, Heston Kjerstad has been one of the hottest hitters in the minors with a .330/.425/.625 slash line to go along with five home runs and a solid 18.5% strikeout rate. Given his upside, performance, and proximity to Baltimore, one might wonder why Kjerstad […]
