The best DraftKings fantasy golf picks and optimal lineups for the 2017 US Open as the players take to Erin Hills starting on June 15.

It’s time for the second major of the PGA Tour season, the 2017 US Open. As Dustin Johnson looks to defend his title, the golfers will head to Erin Hills in Wisconsin starting on Thursday, June 15. Thus, it’s again time to take a walk down the 1-Week DFS golf path and look at the DraftKings fantasy golf picks for the tournament.

This is an interesting tournament in terms of making your DraftKings fantasy golf picks for a number of reason. Chief among them, however, is the course itself. Only the 2011 US Amateur has been played here in terms of major tournaments. As such, there isn’t a lot of experience in the field in terms of playing Erin Hills. That brings a ton of other factors into play when making picks.

Of course, we’re going to look at things like recent track record in terms of performance to make our DraftKings golf picks. However, there’s more in play than just that. Erin Hills should favor big hitters to some degree. But it will also be critical to have accuracy on approaches given the unknown nature of the course.
