Daniel Berger Trying to Rebound at Oakmont
Source: PGATour.com
Daniel Berger does not want to make it three missed cuts in a row. The American golfer opened up at The Memorial with an 81. Ultimately, he missed the cut and promptly took a week off. It will be intriguing to see how he handles the rough at Oakmont. Everyone wants to talk about approach and drives, etc. How does Berger fare if the weather turns poorly? Putting has already been inconsistent where Berger ranks 120th in strokes gained at -0.092. Berger is 10th in scrambling from the rough at 66.06% but this rough is a half foot deep or more in spots. Combine that with potentially breezy conditions as the tournament goes along and fading Berger from a DFS standpoint is reasonable heading into the U.S. Open. Keegan Bradley Carrying Strong Form Into U.S. Open

Keegan Bradley continues to put together a consistent season, most recently finishing T7 at the Memorial—his fourth top-10 result of the year. He now turns his attention to the U.S. Open, an event where he's historically struggled, making six cuts but recording only two finishes inside the top 27 across 12 starts. This year's tournament will be held at Oakmont Country Club, a notoriously difficult layout with fairways averaging just 28 yards in width and rough reaching up to five inches thick. Clubhead speed, driving accuracy, and approach play from the rough will be critical. Bradley ranks 47th in driving accuracy, 111th in clubhead speed, and sits in just the 23rd percentile in greens in regulation from over 150 yards out of the rough. However, he also ranks third on tour in strokes gained from tee to green (plus-1.220 per round) and 14th on approach (plus-0.577). While Bradley offers upside thanks to his elite ball-striking, his U.S. Open track record may give DFS managers reason to look elsewhere this week.Joaquin Niemann Wins LIV Virginia

He has only made one start in this week's RBC Canadian Open, where he missed the cut last year. This year, the event will shift to TPC Toronto instead of the usual Hamilton Golf and Country Club. This year's venue measures 7,400 yards and rewards distance off the tee and solid iron play. Hoey ranks first in total driving and 44th in strokes gained on approach (+0.317 strokes per round). His inconsistent play makes him a dark horse option at best with his $7,300 price tag on DraftKings.Harry Hall a Decent Option at TPC Toronto

The event will be moving to TPC Toronto, which measures 7,400 yards and caters to players who hit it long off the tee and have exceptional iron play. He ranks 88th in driving distance (301.5 yards) and 105th in strokes gained on approach (-0.049 strokes gained per round). His consistent play shows he can compete at just about any venue and is worth taking a flyer on this week in DFS formats.Beau Hossler Not Appealing Ahead of RBC Canadian Open

Beau Hossler has had a mediocre campaign thus far in 2025. He's missed only four cuts this season but hasn't finished better than T12 since his first start of the year at The American Express. He has only one start in his career at the RBC Canadian Open, and that was last year, where he finished T14. This season's edition will be held at TPC Toronto instead of the usual Hamilton Golf and Country Club. The 7,400-yard layout rewards players who hit it long off the tee and precision iron play. Hossler ranks 65th in driving distance (304 yards) but has struggled on approach, ranking 150th in strokes gained (-0.390 strokes gained per round). His inconsistency makes him an unappealing play this week, even at his cheap $7,000 price tag on DraftKings.Taylor Pendrith Could See Success at RBC Canadian Open

Taylor Pendrith has played great golf in 2025. He has only missed four cuts in 15 starts, has notched six top 20 finishes, including four top 10s. His history at this week's RBC Canadian Open is average at best, with his top finish being T21 in 2024. However, the event is shifting to a new venue in 2025, TPC Toronto. The course measures 7,400 yards and rewards distance off the tee and precise iron play. Pendrith has excelled in both areas, ranking 35th in driving distance (307.4 yards) and 31st in strokes gained on approach (+0.421 strokes gained per round). His solid play as of late and a game that suits this week's venue make him a good option, even at his $9,100 price tag on DraftKings.
