PGA FanDuel Picks: The 2019 Wyndham Championship
PGA FanDuel Picks – Mid Tier Picks: ($10,000 – $11,000)
Lucas Glover – $10,700 – (GPP)
This whole tier is pretty tough to nail down this week, and I ultimately decided that there will be only one player in this range in my cash lineup at this point. Glover had played solid all season long until a slight hiccup in which he missed consecutive cuts in June for the first time all season.
He has turned it around in July though, starting with his T-7 at the 3M Open, and he comes into this week’s Wyndham Championship off a T-20 at the 148th Open Championship. He is close to cash game safe in my opinion, but I feel this price is a bit too high and kind of unnecessary, considering I like two golfers below $8K this week. However, I will likely have some exposure to The Glove here as a GPP pivot away from Matthew Wolff and Joaquin Niemann, who may be perceived as too cheap in the eyes of some.
Alex Noren – $10,000 – (GPP)
When I begin my cash build from week-to-week, my power rankings are always all set, I have a good sense of who I will target, and then I start to dig into pricing. This week was weird, to say the least, in the sense that after about two straight months of having solid player pools between $9-11K, there just is nothing but question marks in that range this week. Again, thankfully I think we have a couple of cut-makers below bargain value because there are plenty of golfers in this range that I do not feel anywhere near 100% comfortable with.
That brings me to Alex Noren and what is currently my last cash game decision. You will see I have the GPP tag on him here, but in considering I am debating between him and Rory Sabbatini, I think this one is a toss-up. Noren started 2019 ranked inside the top-20 in the OWGR but struggles all year long only up until his last two events have dropped him down to number 44.
I like the fact that he is coming into his first Wyndham Championship off of an impressive T-11 at the Open Championship followed by a T-12 last week at TPC Southwind, but the lack of consistency before that is scaring me off in cash games. Being he was a former top-20 player in the world just seven months ago, I think he can have another good finish here without a doubt, and I will have some GPP exposure.
