PGA DFS Optimal Picks for the British Open

This week will be the 15th British Open to be held at Royal St. Georges, with the last two editions of this major being played here in 2011 and 2003. Darren Clarke won at -5 in 2011 and Ben Curtis at -1 in 2003. Two things that both these players did very well when they took home the Claret Jug here was card the fewest bogeys possible and score on the par 4’s. During their wins, Clarke and Curtis ranked second and fourth in par-4 scoring, respectively, and they also both finished inside the top eight in bogeys avoided. In result, par-4 efficiency and bogey avoidance will be two of the main skills to look for this week, along with the usual extremely important ball-striking stats.

***Leverage scores are a product of comparing a player’s ownership versus their salary weighted odds to finish in the top six of the tournament.***

Jason Day

Awesemo PGA Optimizer Leverage Scores: DraftKings: 1.8%, FanDuel: 0.9%

During his recent resurgence, Day has been getting slept on by DFS players, and this is expected to continue at the British Open. Via Awesemo’s Top Golfers Tool, he is slated for single-digit ownership on DraftKings and FanDuel. After missing three straight cuts, Day has successfully made his past three and has a pair of finishes inside the top 15 in his last two. Day has contributed an encouraging 4.1 strokes from tee to green during this cut streak, and he was outstanding with his irons in his final round before traveling across the pond for this major.

Sunday at the Rocket Mortgage Classic, Day gained a season-best three strokes on approach, helping him post a final-round 67 at Detroit Golf Club. This score marked his lowest round on tour since November of 2020, and if his irons remain hot at Royal St. George’s, Day could contend at this major. In his last five starts at the British Open, he has finished 27th or better four times.

Justin Rose

Awesemo PGA Optimizer Leverage Scores: DraftKings: 0.1%, FanDuel: -0.4%

As his career progresses, Rose has become a very reliable option at the British Open. He has made six cuts in a row at this major, with five top-25s, including a runner-up at Carnoustie in 2018. Rose has five top-20s in his last 10 major starts, and he showed some very encouraging signs in his most recent start on tour.

Three weeks ago at the Travelers, Rose recorded season highs in both strokes gained tee to green and on approach. He has been one of the top putters on the planet as of late, ranking fourth in strokes gained putting, and if Rose can combine this with some above-average ball striking, he should add another impressive finish to his British Open resume.

Lucas Glover

Awesemo PGA Optimizer Leverage Scores: DraftKings: 1.0%, FanDuel: 1.1%

During his win last week at the John Deere Classic, Glover put on a show with his ball striking. He gained 10.2 strokes tee to green and 7.1 strokes on approach while also generating positive strokes with his flat stick for the fifth consecutive event. His struggles with his putter have always been his downfall, and seeing him consistently produce on the greens is a very encouraging sign.

Not only did Glover card a 20th-place finish at the 2019 British Open, but he also had his best result at this major with a 12th-place finish when Royal St. George’s last hosted the event back in 2011. Awesemo’s Top Golfers Tool is slating Glover for minimal ownership on both sites, and he is an outstanding cheap way to be contrarian in GPPs.

Keegan Bradley

Awesemo PGA Optimizer Leverage Scores: DraftKings: 0.8%, FanDuel: 1.0%

For his final start before this major, Bradley finished 14th finish at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. With a tremendous 10.9 strokes gained from tee to green, he easily led the field while also ranking fourth in strokes gained when approaching the green. This was Bradley’s ninth top-30 in his previous 12 starts, and another key to his success recently has been his ability to stay out of trouble.

Believe it or not, no golfer in this elite field has fewer bogeys than Bradley over their last 24 rounds on tour. Including three top-20s, he is 5-for-7 at the British Open, and with essentially no ownership coming his way, throwing a dart is a sharp move for GPPs.
