$9,000-$10,000

David Lingmerth ($10,000)
David Lingmerth probably should’ve won last week at the Quicken Loans. However, he struggled to finish well with back-to-back 73s and tied for fifth. With that said, he’s finished tied for 26th or better in each of his last five tournaments. Subsequently, his great form right now should make him a nice play in a weak field. Oh yeah, he also plays well at The Greenbrier, having registered two top-10 finishes there.

Charles Howell ($9,700)
We haven’t heard much from Charles Howell this year due to a rib injury in mid-April, but he returned last week in stellar form, finishing second after losing a playoff at the Quicken Loans National. With two other top-10 finishes this season in limited work and no missed cuts, he’s a nice play this week, though he’ll be highly owned.

Danny Lee ($9,500)
Danny Lee remains in some pretty quality form of late, with three top-10 finishes in his last six tournaments and a T22 last week. His iron play right now is among the best in the world and, if he can get his putter going, he could be a winner at The Greenbrier.

Russell Henley ($9,300)
Despite not finishing in the top 25 and missing two cuts in his last four tournaments, I still believe in Russell Henley. He was in contention at the U.S. Open before an atrocious final round and had two exceptional rounds last week. He’s a definite gamble and I’m not a fan of the price on DraftKings, but he’s worth mentioning and potentially taking a flyer on.

Tony Finau ($9,100)
Frankly, this is a little expensive for my tastes, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention Tony Finau here. He has four top 10s this season and has been in contention a number of times throughout the season already. With that said, he’s not yet been able to close the deal or put together four rounds of winning golf, hence my hesitancy over the DraftKings price.
