It doesn't take too much digging through various data resources to figure out that Bryson DeChambeau has not performed well in his seven previous appearances in the Open Championship, aside from a T8 in 2022. The putting and approach play haven't been there, and unfortunately, the putting has taken a downturn over the last several weeks on LIV despite the dominance of his Crushers team. Wind and rain are slated to be factors, making the former SMU product a scary way to lean. If there is one major that hasn't been stamped with the 31-year-old's mark in recent memory, it's certainly this one, and another missed cut seems more probable than vying for the Claret Jug come Sunday.

With all the hoopla surrounding the upcoming Ryder Cup and whether current U.S. Captain Keegan Bradley will need to bring his sticks to Bethpage as well, this week in Northern Ireland is big. It's the year's final major and the last chance to really vault up the standings with a good week. Golf across the pond hasn't been very bright for the 39-year-old, who has missed the last five cuts in this championship, beginning here in 2019. The approach play is a point of emphasis for Bradley in the often more brutal conditions here than at home, especially the wind. He's also struggled on the greens, averaging -0.94 strokes gained on the greens in the last three Opens. The previous 18 months have been much more successful and have the former St. John's golfer on the tip of everyone's tongue. American pride suggests rooting for Bradley, but the DFS strategy is to have tempered expectations.

Gary Woodland has seen mixed results this season, missing six cuts but also recording five top-25 finishes in his first 17 events. He'll look to find more consistency at the Scottish Open, where he has played three times and finished T67, T25, and T30. To get back on track, he'll need to lean on his tee-to-green game, approach play, and driving distance. Woodland ranks 93rd from tee to green at plus-0.086 strokes per round, 45th on approach (plus-0.283), and 18th in driving distance. His biggest issue remains his putter, as he lost over seven strokes on the greens at this event last year. Still, his ball-striking gives him a clear edge, and at just $6,900 on DraftKings, Woodland brings strong value to fantasy lineups this week.

Aaron Rai has put together a solid season, missing just four cuts and posting eight top-25 finishes, including a T17 at the Travelers in his most recent start. He'll look to keep that momentum going at the Scottish Open, where he has played seven times and won in 2020. Success at the Renaissance Club depends on strong tee-to-green play and solid approach, both of which are strengths for Rai. He ranks 27th from tee to green with plus-0.769 strokes per round, 46th on approach (plus-0.280), and 22nd off the tee (plus-0.407). His only real weaknesses are with his putter, where he's losing 0.086 strokes, and in driving distance, where he ranks 166th. He also ranks in the 68th percentile in proximity from 150 to 200 yards, a range that accounted for 41.4% of approach shots here last year. At $8,300 on DraftKings, Rai is a steady option who can be trusted to round out a fantasy lineup this week.

Maverick McNealy has quietly put together a strong season, recording six top-10 finishes and missing just three cuts in 18 starts. He'll aim to keep that momentum going at the Scottish Open, where he has competed once in 2022 and finished T16. Success at the Renaissance Club requires solid tee-to-green play, strong approach shots, and good driving distance, all areas where McNealy has been solid. He ranks 44th from tee to green (plus-0.482 strokes per round), 41st on approach (plus-0.304), and 76th in driving distance, while also sitting 34th in putting (plus-0.257). He ranks in the 60th percentile in proximity from 150 to 200 yards, a range that accounted for over 41 percent of approach shots here last year. At $8,000 on DraftKings, McNealy brings a well-rounded game that makes him a solid value option this week.

Aldrich Potgieter withdrew from the John Deere Classic after shooting a five-over 76 in the third round, though no reason was given. He's set to tee it up again this week at the Scottish Open, making his tournament debut. Success at the Renaissance Club relies on solid tee-to-green play, approach shots, and driving distance. Potgieter is the longest hitter on tour, ranking first in driving distance, second in strokes gained off the tee at plus-0.730 per round, and 68th from tee to green at plus-0.292. However, he struggles on approach, ranking 121st at minus-0.111, and sits in just the 27th percentile for proximity from 150 to 200 yards, a range that accounted for over 41% of approach shots here last year. At $7,200 on DraftKings, he'll likely be a popular play, but the 20-year-old will face a challenge beyond just overpowering the course.
