Harry Hall enjoyed a solid weekend in Texas at the Texas Children's Houston Open. The English golfer finished inside the Top 20 after three pretty rough tournament results. Even at the Valspar Championship, Hall struggled to finish outside the Top 50 (T-54). However, in Houston, Hall showed flashes of good form much like what we saw in Hawaii. Birdies were dropping in and that final round 65 was one of the better rounds of the day. If not for a late bogey on 7 coming in, Hall would have had a 64. Right now, the golfer stands at +6000 to win the Valero Texas Open. These seem like long odds but Min Woo Lee netted his first win last week. Anything can happen.

Ryan Fox started out 2025 with two missed cuts and a T-63 at the WM Phoenix Open. Since then, the golfer from New Zealand has righted the ship enough and was flirting with a Top 10 last week in Houston. Though he faltered a bit to a 71 on Sunday, that still wound up being a Top 15 result. Fox has not won yet on the PGA Tour and currently still ranks outside the Top 100 in OWGR (102nd). He does have eight international wins including the 2023 BMW PGA Championship. The golfer is 38 but still has plenty of fight left. At the least, Fox could be a decent DFS option come this weekend.

Joel Dahmen caught a stroke of luck last week in Texas. For one, the American golfer and everyone else did not face the expected deluge. Second, Dahmen finished above the cut line after the second round. As a result, Dahmen stayed around for the weekend and was able to make a charge inside the Top 20 (T-18). It was a nice rebound after missing the cut at the Valspar Championship. Dahmen enjoyed Top 10 results sandwiched between another clunker at Scottsdale. He does not putt all that consistently. Dahmen ranks 181st in putting strokes gained (-0.633). Worse, he averages only 28.74 putts per round which is a respectable 59th. Dahmen has issues with putts of short and intermediate length alike. Those Par 5's could be a real issue this week.

Jacob Bridgeman missed his fourth cut of 2025 last week at the Texas Children's Houston Open. The American golfer has made six cuts and finished in the Top 25 four times. That includes a Top 10 and a third which was outright. Bridgeman fell behind early last week with an opening round 72. Overall, he ranks 7th in strokes gained to putting at 0.729. This is through 29 measured rounds. Considering the volume of play, that is not a small sample size. Anyway, Bridgeman scrambles well but greens in regulation still ranks 150th on tour at 63.72%. With four mammoth Par 5's (550+ yards), Bridgeman must strike the ball far more accurately this week to be near contention.

Sami Valimaki finished fourth at last week's Texas Children's Houston Open and is now focusing on preparing for this week's Valero Texas Open at TPC San Antonio. He has missed the cut only twice in nine starts this season and has two top-15 finishes. This will be Valimaki's first appearance at the Valero Texas Open. Over the past 12 months, Valimaki has ranked in the 87th percentile for greens in regulation percentage on approach shots from over 200 yards in the fairway. This is significant because, at last year's Valero Texas Open, more than 28% of approach shots came from this distance. Valimaki could be a valuable addition to DFS lineups this week.

Tom Kim finished tied for 36th at the Valspar Championship two weeks ago and is now focusing on preparing for this week's Valero Texas Open, which will be held at TPC San Antonio.

Considering his recent performance, including Burns in DFS lineups this week poses some risk.

This is particularly relevant because at last year's Valero Texas Open, over 28% of approach shots came from this distance. Given his recent performance, Berger could be a strong addition to DFS lineups this week.

Jhonattan Vegas has not had a great 2025 season thus far. The only finish he has had better than T-40 was his first start of the season at the Sentry. In his other six starts, he has missed two cuts and has zero top 25 finishes. Vegas will be making his fourth start at this week's venue, Memorial Park Golf Course, where his best finish came in 2022 at 26th. The venue measures at just under 7,500 yards and caters to longer hitters. He ranks 94th in total driving and 134th in driving accuracy. Approximately 33% of approach shots will come from 200 yards or more, where he ranks 100th. In addition, play around the green will be imperative, and Vegas has also struggled in that department, ranking 106th in strokes gained around the green. His inconsistencies and poor play this year make him an easy sit this week.

Gary Woodland has had an up-and-down 2025 season thus far. He finished top 25 in his first three starts and has missed the cut in three of his last four. In last week's Valspar Championship, he finished tied for 47th. At Memorial this week, players who hit the ball long off the tee will have an advantage. The course measures approximately 7,500 yards and can play longer if wind is present. Woodland is no stranger to crushing the ball off the tee, where he ranks fourth in driving distance. Just under 33% of approach shots will come from 200+ yards this week, where he also excels. He ranks fourth in approach shots of >200 yards. However, players will need to be savvy around the greens, where he has struggled, ranking 136th in strokes gained around the green. Woodland may not be the safest play, but could be a true wild card this week.

Nick Taylor is putting together a solid 2025 season. He has three top 12 finishes, including a win at the Sony Open in Hawaii, and has only missed one cut. This is Taylor's first start since 2022 at this week's Texas Children's Houston Open. This week's venue, Memorial Park Golf Course, is a monster of a golf course, measuring in at almost 7,500 yards and could play longer if wind is present. Taylor doesn't hit the ball particularly far, but his approach game and putting could play nicely. He ranks ninth in strokes gained approach to green and 78th in strokes gained putting. More of a dark horse play, but he may be worth the risk in DFS this week.
