Sam Burns Finishes Tied For 12th at Memorial Tournament
Source: Data Golf
Sam Burns finished tied for 12th at the Memorial Tournament last week and is now focusing on preparing for this week's RBC Canadian Open, which will be held at TPC Toronto – Osprey Valley in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. So far this season, Burns has seven top-25 finishes but has also missed the cut three times in his 15 starts. Over the past 12 months, he ranks in the 48th percentile for proximity to the hole on approach shots from 150-200 yards in the fairway. This is significant because the North Course at TPC Toronto is over 7,300 yards long, making it the fifth longest course on the PGA Tour rotation this year.Karl Vilips is a Volatile Play With Upside at TPC Toronto

Coming off a T11 at Colonial a couple of weeks ago, Karl Vilips is making the trip to Canada this week, looking to keep the momentum going. With his finish in Texas making just his second quality finish in eight starts since his win in Puerto Rico, the 23-year-old needs to get more if he hopes to stay inside the top 75 on the FedEx Cup points list. The Australian has a lot going for him this week up north, as he has plenty of length off the tee (306.9), scores well on par-4s (20.83% birdie rate on par 4's: ranks eighth on the PGA Tour), and has great approach numbers from 150-200 yards. At $8,500 on FanDuel, Vilips is worth the risk on this debut layout. Shane Lowry is Taking His Consistent Game to TPC Toronto
Source: PGA Tour
The successful season continued for Shane Lowry last week in Dublin, finishing T23 after a disappointing 77 on Sunday. Even without a victory, the 38-year-old is a part of the conversation on a weekly basis with exquisite iron play, ranking 3rd on the PGA Tour in strokes gained on approach (+0.895). There is a slight concern this week for Lowry, who has had his worst finishes of the year on courses that require longer shots into greens, which is evident by his ranking outside the top 100 in proximity for most distances outside 225 yards. However, his nearly tour-leading strokes gained tee to green (+1.410) metric is still enough to inspire confidence in the Irishman this week.Nick Taylor Looks to Carry Momentum Back to Canada for His National Open

It was an impressive bounce-back last week at the Memorial for Nick Taylor after a disappointing missed cut at the PGA Championship. It was the Canadian's second-highest performance in strokes gained putting (+1.20) and strokes gained around the green all season (+1.11). He returns to his national open, where he won at Oakdale Golf and Country Club, looking to have similar success if the game makes the trip from Dublin. Length at TPC Toronto is a concern for Taylor, as he is one of the shorter hitters on the PGA Tour. However, the 37-year-old makes up for it with superb iron play from virtually any distance. He ranks 13th on the season in strokes gained on approach (+0.558) and 11th in par-4 scoring average (3.97). At $10,600 on FanDuel, he's a reliable play that will likely have high ownership levels.Luke Clanton Making First Professional Start at RBC Canadian Open

The long-awaited debut as a PGA Tour member and fresh face to the professional ranks, Luke Clanton, will tee it up at TPC Toronto this week alongside his new set of peers at the RBC Canadian Open. There are many eager to see what this young man will do on the circuit should his career in the pros be as dominant as his time at FSU. Even still, the 21-year-old has already shown comfort on this stage in several events. Nerves may get the better of him this week in Canada, which is to be expected, but Clanton easily has the game to be a factor here. Length shouldn't be a factor, and his long-iron game has been a highlight in previous starts. Caution is abundant this week with the added attention, but the future looks bright for the former Seminole.Byeong Hun An Is a Shaky Play at Muirfield
Source: PGA Tour
Byeong Hun An has had an up-and-down 2025 season thus far. He has only missed three cuts, with two top-20 finishes, including a T8 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. His history at Jack's place has been mostly solid, with only three missed cuts in nine starts. He also has three more top 20 finishes, including a second-place finish after losing in a playoff to Bryson DeChambeau. Muirfield requires solid play from tee to green, encompassing precise drives off the tee, solid approach play, and hitting greens. An ranks 79th in strokes gained tee-to-green (+0.157), 28th in strokes gained off the tee (+0.344), 146th in strokes gained on approach (-0.332), and 155th in driving accuracy (53.57%). His inconsistent play is cause for concern, and it's best to avoid him this week. Christiaan Bezuidenhout a Decent Play at Muirfield
Source: PGA Tour
Christiaan Bezuidenhout, outside of a few bad starts, has had a solid 2025 season. He has finished in the top 20 three times and has one top five at the WM Phoenix Open. On top of his solid season, his history at Muirfield is also solid. In four trips, he hasn't missed one cut and even finished fourth in last year's start. Bezuidenhouts play around the green, and putting has been his bread and butter this year, ranking 14th in strokes gained putting ( +0.444) and 26th in strokes gained around the green (+0.290). His driving accuracy has also been excellent, ranking 37th (62.94%). All of those elements are key to competing at Jack's place, which makes him a solid option this week, especially at his $6,900 price tag on DraftKings.Brian Harman May Not Be a Good Option at Muirfield
Source: PGA Tour
Brian Harman has had a very hit-or-miss 2025 season. He has a win at the Valero Texas Open and finished T3 at the RBC Heritage. However, he's finished 40th or worse in eight other events. Muirfield has the feel of a major championship challenge and is one of the toughest on the PGA Tour, with solid play from tee to green. Harman ranks 61st in strokes gained tee-to-green (+0.263), 113th off the tee (-0.025), 74th on approach (+0.162), and 68th around the green (+0.099). His history at Muirfield is also working against him. In his 10 starts, he has missed the cut six times and has only finished in the top 20 once. His inconsistent play, along with his subpar history at Jack's place, makes him an undesirable play even at his $7,100 price tag on DraftKings this week.Matt Fitzpatrick Has Great History at Memorial
Source: PGA Tour
After a promising finish at his last start at the PGA Championship, Matt Fitzpatrick is looking to continue his momentum. Before that start, he didn't have a single top 10 or top 20 finish in any event this year. Fitzpatrick has gained some notable speed off the tee and was already accurate driving the ball, which has added a new element to his game. On top of that, he has a stellar history at Jack's place. In his six starts, he has three top 10s and two top fives. His two top fives have come in the last two years with a T9 and T5. His approach game has been a question mark, ranking 97th (-0.027) on tour. Approach game and driving accuracy will be the key to competing this week, something that Fitzpatrick has had trouble with this season. It's hard to gauge him for this week but his $8,000 price tag on DraftKings may be a bit too steep . Denny McCarthy A Solid Choice At Muirfield Village
Source: PGA Tour
Denny McCarthy has been one of the most consistent players on tour in 2025. He hasn't missed a single cut in 13 starts, has seven top 20s, and two top 10s, including a T8 at the PGA Championship. At Quail Hollow, McCarthy didn't shoot a single round over par and ranked in the top 10 in strokes gained around the green (+3.807) and strokes gained putting (+5.627). His history at Muirfield is solid with two top fives in five starts, including a lost playoff in 2023 to Viktor Hovland. His iron play and putting have been steady all season, ranking sixth in strokes gained putting (+0.689) and 71st in strokes gained on approach (+0.178). His price tag of $7,900 is not bad and offers high upside for one of the games most consistent players. Tony Finau Shaping Into Form Heading Into Memorial
Source: PGA Tour
Tony Finau has been heating up over his last three starts. He finished T38 at the RBC and followed that up with two top 20s at the Truist Championship and the PGA Championship. Finishing T19 at the PGA Championship was a very positive sign while shooting only one round over par. On top of that, Finau's history at Jack's place is solid with five top 20s, including three eighth-place finishes. His play from tee-to-green has been solid, ranking 53rd in strokes gained in that category (+0.404), and he has competed at various venues all season. His price tag of $8,200 on DraftKings may be steep, but it may be worth taking a flyer on him this week. Cameron Young Hard to Trust at the Memorial
Source: PGA Tour
Cameron Young has experienced a mixed 2025 season, making the cut in eight of 14 starts and finishing in the top 25 four times. He'll look to find consistency at the Memorial, where he's played three times with a best finish of T50 in 2024. Muirfield Village is one of the toughest non-major tests on tour, demanding a complete game across its 7,500-plus yards. Young currently ranks 151st in strokes gained from tee to green (minus-0.498 per round), 81st off the tee (minus-0.112), 166th on approach (minus-0.606), and 101st around the green (minus-0.005). He's also in just the 16th percentile in proximity from 200-plus yards over the last 12 months, a critical range that accounted for 32% of approach shots here last year. While there have been signs of improvement, Young remains tough to trust this week, even at his discounted $6,700 DraftKings salary.Alex Noren a Sneaky Value Play at the Memorial
Source: PGA Tour
Alex Noren returned from a seven-month hamstring injury just two weeks ago at the Truist Championship, and a week later found himself in contention at the PGA Championship. While the Swede couldn't close the deal at Quail Hollow, posting just one round over par across his first two events back is an encouraging sign. He now turns to the Memorial, where he's made four cuts in six appearances, including a T13 in 2021. Muirfield Village demands a complete game, and in 2024, Noren ranked 19th in strokes gained from tee to green, 43rd on approach, and eighth around the green. He also ranks in the 79th percentile in proximity from 200-plus yards over the past 12 months, a key range that accounted for 32% of approach shots here last year. While his course history is modest, Noren's form and $7,400 price tag on DraftKings make him an intriguing value play with clear upside.Patrick Cantlay Has Potential Heading Into Muirfield
Source: PGA Tour
The 2025 season has been fantastic for Patrick Cantlay. He has six finishes inside the top 20, with three of those being in the top 5. He has been about as consistent and close to a win as anyone on tour. His record at Jack's place is more than impeccable, with wins in 2019 and 2021 along with two other top-five finishes. All the elements will be tested at Muirfield, and Cantlay's game has been solid all around. He ranks 11th (+1.016) in strokes gained from tee-to-green, 10th in strokes gained on approach (+0.624), and 29th in strokes gained off the tee (+0.338). He has a steep price of $9,500 on DraftKings, but it may be worth paying due to his incredible history at the Memorial. Sepp Straka Eyeing Another Elite Signature-Event Performance
Source: PGA Tour
Sepp Straka is putting together one of the best seasons on tour, with the majority of his success coming in signature events. Through the first six, he's recorded four top-15 finishes, including a win at the Truist Championship three weeks ago. He'll look to continue that elite form at the Memorial, where he's made five starts and finished T5 last year. Success at Muirfield Village demands a complete game, and Straka ranks ninth in strokes gained from tee to green (plus-1.142 per round), 52nd off the tee (plus-0.230), and second on approach (plus-1.027). He's also been playing with precision, ranking 11th in driving accuracy and sitting in the 98th percentile in proximity from 150–200 yards over the past 12 months—a key range that accounted for 34.9% of approach shots here last year. Until he shows signs of cooling off, Straka remains an elite DFS and betting option.
