• Tommy Bell: Sepp Straka gets RED hot with the putter over the weekend and wins by 4 strokes

Who is your favorite overall DFS golfer and why?

• Joe Nicely: Sam Burns ($10,100) - He's a proven talent that been in good form as of late. His game should fit this layout perfectly. 
• Spencer Aguiar: There are a lot of names that I like this week. Patrick Rodgers ($8,000), Kristoffer Ventura ($9,200), Denny McCarthy ($9,600) or Luke List in GPPs ($8,700) will probably be the four that I find myself playing in a ton of lineups. Hard for me to just choose one. 
• Josh Bennett: Denny McCarthy (9,600) - He can roll in birdies better than most of the field and you can still play him with another top priced guy if you want. Great two year history and has been playing well
• Tommy Bell: Sepp Straka ($9,300) - I am taking a big stance on Straka this week. I’ve liked him at easier courses that don’t pose huge risks all week, and we get one of those here. I think he’ll be able to be great off the tee, and his putting has been rock solid of late. A perfect field for him to come out on top.

What is your optimal DFS lineup building strategy?

• Joe Nicely: Great week to embrace the volatility! Stars & Scrubs
• Spencer Aguiar: More balanced than usual. Won’t be starting lineups above Sam Burns or Adam Long. 
• Josh Bennett: Balanced
• Tommy Bell: Very balanced seeing as how I love a $9,300 guy at the top and Spaun is my dart throw at $7k

Who is your pick to win the tournament?

• Joe Nicely: Sam Burns (with a strong showing from Will Zalatoris)
• Spencer Aguiar: I flipped a coin to decide between Patrick Rodgers and Kristoffer Ventura. The coin likes Ventura, so we are rolling with that. 
• Josh Bennett: Denny McCarthy
• Tommy Bell: Sepp Straka
