$8,000-$9,000

Brooks Koepka ($9,000)
All we’re asking for is a little bit of consistency from Brooks Koepka. When he’s been at his best this season, he’s been one of the best in the world. However, he’s faltered late in a few tournaments, which has hurt his overall performance. With that said, his big hitting off of the tee could be a massive advantage at Erin Hills and could make him a contender to win the US Open.

Branden Grace ($8,600)
Thus far this season, the South African Branden Grace has two top-10 finishes to his credit. What’s more, those both came in two of his last three tournaments played. On top of that, he’s registered two other finishes in the top 15 this season. While not a flashy name at this DraftKings salary, he could well be a solid play.

Justin Thomas ($8,300)
Justin Thomas seems to be finding his form, which is elite when he’s in the right groove. He has two wins in 2017 and four top-10 finishes this season. What’s more, he finished tied for fourth at the Memorial the last time he was on the course. He’s very much one of the best in the world at his best and seems to be in the form that would suggest he’ll be in that form at Erin Hills.

Jason Dufner ($8,100)
The last time that he played, Jason Dufner won at the Memorial, despite a putrid third round. With that said, he’s been somewhat inconsistent this season, missing the cut the week before at the DEAN & DELUCA. With that being said, he’s capable of competing with the best in the world. He has five top-15 finishes to his credit this season. What’s more, his veteran savvy could be big at the US Open.
