For those of you new to the plethora of content DFSKarma.com puts out on a daily/weekly basis, this is my weekly PGA article that focuses on the cheapos no one else dare write about. It had massive success last year with my getting sub $7K (DK) golfers finishing top 10 at less than 1% ownership on an almost weekly basis. Well, I’m bringing it back this year with the same concept. My cap this year is $7300 in DraftKings pricing (but you can still play them on FanDuel, FantasyDraft, or Yahoo). I focus on recent form and course history heavily to spit out my favorite 5 golfers from within that range.
That being said, my PGA Punt Plays article looks a little different (for the better) moving forward. You will see below that I have highlighted 5 players within Fantasy National within my price range of $7300 and below.

Recent Form
Back to the well with Danny Lee again as his recent form is still up there. This is an uber short course, so the SG: OTT doesn’t mean AS much. That being said, I’m 100% confident D-Lee makes the cut this week.
Chad Campbell appeared in more Punt Play write ups last season than anyone else. I’m always happy to see his name pop. He worst stat is also SG: OTT. Having 5 other stats in the Top 25 makes me heavy on him as well at only $6800.
Scott Stallings doesn’t seem to be a fan of Bentgrass greens. Besides that, he also has 5 stats ranking in the Top 25 making him a viable GPP option.
Chris Stroud has 2 stats in the Top 8, comes in 21st overall in total strokes gained, and his worst is SG: OTT. I’d throw him in 5-10% of your lineups this week.
Brian Harman, who I believe Sam trashed on our weekly PGA Pod (which you can view HERE), has his BEST stat in SG: OTT. He is also above my Punt range of $7600. He is solely in this write up so when he does well I can throw it in Sam’s face. But I do think he is slightly overpriced.
Tournament History
D-Lee has made the cut 4 straight attempts with a 6th place finish here last year. ALL ABOARD THE D-TRAIN.
Campbell also has made the cut 4 straight times. Don’t expect a Top 20 finish, but I’m heavy on him making the cut at such a cheap price.
Harman is 2/2 here in the last 5 years. He could do well. But once again, is mainly in this piece for future trash talk.
Chris Stroud has a pattern that suggests like he will miss the cut this year. However, I think he changes his tune with his recent form and finishes again around 37th place.
Scott Stallings is the guy that makes the cut, then takes a nap on the weekend. Expect something similar this week as I don’t see him cracking the Top 20 either.
