PGA DFS Golf Picks: The Farmers Insurance Open Round 4

Round 3 Recap

On Friday, a stunning round from Will Zalatoris featured superb play through the bag. But also, a few questionable missed putts from distances that if playing at a home game would be considered “good.” Still, he was able to post 65 on the day and vaulted himself up to the top of the leaderboard. He was able to do that because both stars Jon Rahm and Justin Thomas, who held a share of the lead heading into Saturday, could not keep up, struggling to break par. Adam Schenk, who also was at-13 to start the day, struggled even worse, shooting three over 75.

Zalatoris’ round was only bested by one golfer, Cameron Young, who shot 64 on the day, the best score on the South Course all week. Jason Day also continued his good form and will play in the final group with Zalatoris after shooting 67. Three others also shot 67, Pat Perez, Sepp Straka, and Maverick McNealy, who had the shot of the day, making a hole in one.

Best PGA DFS Golf Picks Today for DraftKings Showdown

Sungjae Im ($9,100): Although there were signs that said abandon ship at the beginning of the week, as the irons didn’t look good. Well, they still don’t look good, but the rest of his game looks elite. For him to win tomorrow, he’ll have to get them going, but he’s much cheaper than the other top-of-the-line golfers at twelve under.
Sahith Theegala ($7,400): All was going well, as Sahith shot 33 on the front nine and was in the mix on the first page of the leaderboard. But, a back nine forty would change that in a hurry. However, I’m not ready to give up after a bad nine holes today, as Sahith has looked good all week.
Taylor Pendrith ($7,100): Of all the rookies on tour this year, Pendrith had arguably the best chance to win, going into the final round with a big lead. But, a final round 76 would move him back to a tie for fifth. He’s had four missed cuts and just on made cut since then. A bounce-back here this week, and the type of game that translates well here at Torrey Pines, strong ball striking, and a hot putter. At this price level, he presents substantial upside and not a ton of projected ownership.
Sepp Straka ($6,300) A similar build to Pendrith, in stature and in-game, Straka bounced back with the irons in round three while also gaining in the other strokes gained facets. Going down to Straka opens the salary board up quite a bit for tomorrow’s final round allowing for a three-stud build.
