DraftKings British Open picks: $6,000 range

Ryan Palmer ($6,900) – Missed cuts at the PGA Championship and U.S. Open might scare you but, at this price, you have to like a player with four top-10 finishes on the season, only three missed cuts, and who finished T4 at the Scottish Open last week.

Stewart Cink ($6,900) – In the line of veterans who can play well anywhere, Cink is a former Open champion who has the all-around game to make things happen at a course like this while also not getting rattled.

Richard Bland ($6,800) – Despite fading at the U.S. Open, Bland had the 36-hole lead and has a win, two other top-five finishes and a T15 last week in his last five starts. He’s been white-hot and is a great value play.

Lucas Herbert ($6,800) – It’s hard to find better form at this price than Herbert, who won the Irish Open and the finished T4 at the Scottish Open in the last two weeks. He and Bland are underpriced on DraftKings in my opinion and that should be taken advantage of.

Charley Hoffman ($6,700) – Hoffman was a standard value play in PGA DFS games for several months but he’s cooled off a bit as of late. Still, the veteran has competed at a high level this season and could be a nice addition at this price.

Lucas Glover ($6,600) – Coming off his win last week, Glover is striking the ball extremely well and just needs the putter to mildly cooperate. A player with his upside is a wonderful value at just $6,600.

Chris Kirk ($6,400) – Consistency hasn’t been the strength of Kirk but, in the five tournaments he’s made the cut out of his last nine tournaments, his worst finish is T26. That’s strong upside for this price.

Sam Burns ($6,300) – Plain and simple, Burns is mispriced. That doesn’t mean he’s going to win The Open but this is a guy who won the Valspar in April and followed that up with a T2. He also finished T13 at the Travelers and T18 at the Scottish Open in his last two starts.
