PGA FanDuel picks: The 2019 Sanderson Farms Championship
PGA FanDuel Picks – Top Tier Picks: ($11,000+)
Sungjae Im – $11,600 – (Cash/GPP)
Let’s start with the obvious here. There are only four golfers total in this price tier this week, and all four are certainly in play. I expected at least Niemann and Sungjae Im here to be over $12K, with Brandt Snedeker even possibly sneaking up there as well, but it appears what they did was keep the prices down at the top, and bump up some of the value up to the $9K range.
Any way you shape it, Im remains hot as he was able to T-19 last week at the Greenbrier, despite a rough Sunday.
He was 10-under par and somewhat in the mix heading into the final day, but couldn’t get a putt to drop. I am backing off of Niemann a little, as I think no matter how well he handled his win, which he did incredibly well, by the way, odds just tell us it is unlikely he will win twice in a row.
While I think Snedeker will get some looks in cash games being this course is a great fit, I am going to anchor my cash teams with Im this week. I could be way wrong on this from an ownership perspective, as I thought Niemann would be under-owned in cash games last week and he turned out to be one of the more popular plays.
For me, I just prefer the consistency out of Im week in and week out, and he is playing so well I feel that there is almost zero chance he will miss the cut this week.
Once this kid gets hot with his putter as Niemann did, we will see him up at the very top of a leader board. Can both of my super rookies from the fall swing last season get it done in the first two weeks of this season? That would be amazing, and I am here likely all-in for it.
