 Hi, I'm Sean Gwasimaki. Welcome in to the Fanduul. Hurry up. I'm joined now by Jim Sanis from Fanduul And Jim, tough life these golfers live going from Pebble Beach to now the Riviera golf course playing the Genesis Invitational. Jim, you like Rory McRoy this week. He's now the number one ranked golfer in all the land Taking that over from Brooks Kepka. Tell us about Rory McRoy and his play for this week at the Riviera golf course Yeah, you were talking about how tough of a life it is and it actually is just because this field is brutal Like it's a great venue to play But there are so many top golfers in this field But when I look at this field it still feels like Rory McRoy stands out He's actually the betting favorite by a decent amount He is plus 750 no one else is shorter than 10 to 1 so the sports books seem to think that Rory is a top guy And the stats back that up and the finish is back that up too because Rory enters his weekend with four straight top four Finishes if we look at him sensing this the cut at the open Rory has nine top tens in 11 events He has seven top fives. He has a pair of wins He is fourth in driving distance the past 50 rounds according to fantasy national. He has 10th in approach He is ninth around the green the past 50 rounds So even though this is a really loaded field and it's a really difficult field I still think Rory McRoy is kind of like a half or a quarter of a tier above the rest of this field I want to treat him as such in DFS. He is $12,200. It is a definitely a hefty salary But Rory is worth every penny with how well he is golfing right now I mentioned Rory McRoy the world's number one golfer first time since September 2015 he's ranked number one in the world. All right, let's move on to Patrick Cantley He's also on your list as ones to watch this week. Why Patrick? Yeah, I think when you're looking at this field There's a lot of value in going with one stud like Rory like Dustin Johnson Like John Robb and then dropping down for your second stud and for me Patrick Cantley really does stand out as being one of those Second stud guys in that second tier. I think Tony Finau is in that same range Xander Shuffle a a lot of really good guys here, but for Patrick Cantley the stats are pretty solid and He's also done well at this course in the past. So good course knowledge thing is valuable I don't need them to be great at this course, but Cantley has been he was 15th year last year He was fourth in 2018 and in those two events never shot around above par And the stats are good to rank 16th in this field and distance the past 50 rounds He is eighth in approach. He is 10th around the green now the putting splits on Poa Just kind of okay for Patrick Cantley and it is his worst putting surface But it he goes a long way towards having a top-heavy lineup that still has two studs in it So I think Cantley's appealing again I think that Tony Finau is really good as is Andrew Shuffle Adam Scott if you want to go a little bit cheaper But as far as the second tier goes, I think Patrick Cantley is my favorite guy He's 11,000 forward of dollars and should be in a good position to put up a good number Thursday through Sunday Patrick Cantley finished tied for 11th at Pebble Beach just outside the top 10 last week All right, let's move on to Joaquin Neiman. He hasn't played since the farmers insurance open That was last month. He was tied for 44th. Why Joaquin this week here for the Genesis Invitational Yeah, there's definitely some risk here in Joaquin Neiman because he's proven himself to be a better putter on Bencraz recently He's definitely made some gains. That was kind of what held Joaquin Neiman back previously was putting and on Bencraz He's been a lot better on Poa. He's still a little bit unproven So we could see a return here for bad Neiman But the ball striking numbers are still phenomenal, especially for a guy who was down this year at $9,400 He ranks 23rd in the field of distance and 18th in approach to past 50 rounds And plenty of those rounds have come against tougher level competition And we have seen at least Neiman on these greens before because he was at the Genesis last year And he did make the cut finished 44th and that event came before Neiman really started to figure things out and put everything together as a golfer So finishing 44th really not that bad, I wouldn't say for Joaquin Neiman And once you get below like $10,000 a drop off from a distance perspective is pretty big But Joaquin Neiman brings in that distance. He is $9,400. Has a good approach play as well So I know there was some risk in Joaquin Neiman given that the putting hasn't necessarily been there on Poa just yet But I don't think it should be catastrophic anymore for him because he's improved enough overall To hopefully avoid those major downsides and the salary helps account for his imperfections too So $94 for Joaquin Neiman to me I think makes a lot of sense Jamie just mentioned at $9,400 for Neiman you have Scottie Scheffler at $9,200 He hasn't played in a couple of weeks since the Phoenix Open How about Scheffler's game? What do you like about Scheffler's game this week there at the Genesis Invitational? Yeah, I would put Scottie Scheffler in a pretty similar bucket to Joaquin Neiman where there is definitely some risk Because among the things Scheffler has done well since coming up to the PJ Tour Short game has not been one of those things. There's definitely some missed cut risk with Scottie Scheffler But just like Joaquin Neiman the ball striking here is really good 20 second in distance the past 50 rounds He is 20th in approach and he helped use those numbers to finish third at the American Express And that was less than a month ago still you can get this guy now for $9,200 That shows you how good this field is a guy who was among the most expensive golfers in the field Not that long ago is now $9,200 It does make sense again because he's a bit less proven It's a really tough field the short game is not quite that good So I think that there is there is a reason why Scheffler is as cheap as he is at $9,200 But he's played this course before he actually qualified here when he was still in college back in 2018 Shot of 73 to 76 so didn't embarrass himself despite being still a collegiate golfer at that time And I think that that course knowledge for Scheffler is valuable at least having been here once In the past so he's kind of like Neiman and I'd prefer not to have both Neiman and Scheffler in the same lineup Just because I think the odds that one of them winds up missing the cut are pretty high But I think they both make sense individually and in a vacuum So I like Joaquin Neiman for the exact same reasons I like Scottie Scheffler Scheffler great ball striker a little bit of risk But some some savings definitely to help account for that So I do think Scheffler makes a lot of sense here at $9,200 You also like a South African golfer Erik van Royen at $8,800 this week He missed the cut at the Saudi international tournament there on the european tour last month What do you like about Erik van Royen at $8,800 this week? Yeah, looking at van Royen over on the euro tour the numbers are just kind of okay You alluded to that missed cut at the Saudi international that was a pretty tough event But overall he's just been kind of middling But the thing about van Royen is that even though the results haven't blown you away He's been pretty consistent, you know van Royen really kind of got on our map In the majors last year He was good at the u.s. Open initially and finished 20th at the open championship And since then he has four top 10s and 15 events That does include a win outside of the you know missing three cuts Which he has done in those 15 events He's been the top 40 in each event. So you know missing some cuts and not a lot of top end finishes But he does have a win and overall has been pretty good The approach play on the euro tour the stats there for van Royen. They're not that great So I don't view him as being some massive value play, but he's got some upside He's $8,800 I can take that for sure as he comes back here to the pga tour on the u.s. side I wouldn't expect to be very popular just because van Royen is not a regular on the pga tour So I think that helps out a lot as well if you're looking at this from an ownership perspective You could go to jason co crack a favorite here on the hurry up $8,900. I am very okay with him But van Royen coming back here to the pga tour doing well enough internationally for me to have some confidence him In him and $8,800 and lastly jim you have carlos or teas at $8,400 this week The mexican golfer finished tied for 25th at the phoenix open a couple weeks ago What do you like about or teas this week at pebble beach? Yeah, I think the biggest appeal of carlos or teas that his his profile is pretty balanced for a guy who is $8,400 He ranks 15th in distance. He is 55th in approach and 16th around the green Those are the three key stats and looking after this weekend. He's also not a bad putter on poa It's just a 51 round sample for him on poa, but those 51 rounds have been pretty good So there's no real big negatives in carlos or teas this game And what that does is lower the odds that he implodes and you can get a guy who has decent odds to make the cut For just $8,400. It's really hard to turn that down. He also does know this course He was here last year finished 9th in that event and or teas was a pretty major stud During the swing season he made he's made three of his four cuts to start 2020 So carlos or teas to me checks pretty much every box He's my favorite guy below $9,000 And I think he makes it a lot easier to get in guys like rory macaroy Like patrick antley like tony fina whoever fits your fancy most up there Using using carlos or teas in one of your slots makes that a lot easier So I can see myself building around a lot of carlos or teas this weekend I just hope and he makes a cut because he gives you a lot of upside elsewhere And he has a lot of upside himself given how well he golfs and how balanced his profile is It's always a lot of fun gym when the pga tour returns to the riviera golf course and this time it's for the genesis open Excellent information jim sonnis fan duel. Thanks for the time. I appreciate it guys. Thank you very much And good luck with your dfs lineups this weekend. There he is jim sonnis Don't go anywhere up next davis maddox from dailyroto.com We'll join us to give his list of top players to look at for this week's genesis open stay to Welcome back to the fan duel hurry up. I'm sean guas amakya joined now by davis maddox of dailyroto.com Davis welcome in pleasure to have you on and we're talking genesis open At beautiful riviera golf course there in southern california first player on the board I see that you listed rory macaroy the betting favorite in this event Obviously world's new number one. What is it about rory's game? That's going so well right now and the reason why you like him in this event I mean the the fact is rory macaroy is he's just better than everyone else rory hits the ball further He hits it more accurately and if rory has not even a great week But just a good week with his wedges and a good week with his putter There really is not anyone on the pga tour that can contend with him You know his best game is better than brooks's maybe dustin johnson's best game can come close But dj is nowhere close to his best right now You know, we saw him have one of his worst rounds on the pga tour last sunday at pebble beach So rory macaroy at seven and a half to one I actually think that the fair price on him is probably a little bit closer to six to one So we definitely like rory this week next up adam scott 28 to one top five and strokes gained Striking the ball over the last year. What is it about adam scott's game that you like for this course course? So this course is uh, you know, there's not gonna you're not gonna find a ton of trouble And it's just gonna be you know about gaining strokes off the tee and then gaining strokes with your long irons Which is pretty much adam scott's game, you know if you ever have seen him on the broadcast He pretty much has the most beautiful swing in all of golf and has a good record at this course as well So, uh, you know and and he also is in good form right now So he's kind of down there at 28 to 1 30 to 1 something like that And uh, you know, those are just very fair numbers for someone with his style of golf All right adam scott there, uh for your second play your third play you like bubba watson listed as a 25 to 1 betting Favorite he's had multiple wins at this golf course the riviera golf course in the past What is it about bubba that you like this week? So those who have followed golf for a while know you you play bubba at courses that he really likes And you really avoid him at courses that he does not like and riviera is just one of his happy places Now you could say definitely it's it's a course fit for him Because so much of the results at this course are going to be about gaining strokes off the tee Bubba is one of the best on tour at that But also there's probably just something about this course that you know suits his game in terms of Shot shape and uh, you know some of those other small variables that are a little bit harder To uh to dial in with the data So, you know bubba at one of his happy places We love him even if the data modeling does not love him as much You like a long shot here next up jason coke rack at 100 to 1 What is it about coke rack that you think maybe Will be a good play this week having him listed as 100 to 1 shot to win this tournament So coke rack is he's just one of our favorites over at dailyroto.com with our projections that are Generated by data golf and and really he just has kind of a the alde version Right the the off-brand version of really good golf He gained strokes off the tee gained strokes with his long irons and his you know His best run of results over the last two seasons on the pga tour Have definitely been driven a little bit by some hot putting But he always kind of had the game that suggested that better results were on the horizon And uh now that he's no longer priced like a market leader, you know There were events last year where he was priced at 33 to 1 So now that we can buy him at you know 100 to 1 and and deep prices like that It's just a really good price play at this course another long shot You have listed carlos or tees. He's the next guy up on your list 120 to 1 What is it about the mexican golf or carlos or tees that you like for this week as a long shot or tees is again You know one of the guys on tour who hits the ball, you know Just an absolute mile not as skilled around the greens But we just have seen that that does not matter as much at riviera It's more about gaining strokes off the tee gaining strokes Approaching the green two areas where carlos or tees is better than to our average at And you know at courses like this that have served up some long shot winners You know and we just we see this a lot on the california events We just want to bet a bunch of guys deeper down the card and or tees is one of my favorites this week All right next up in your last golfer here brison de chambo the 26 year old you have listed right now On your list here and he finished tied for 52nd place the last time he was on on the course That was at the phoenix open a few weeks ago. He's now Back in action for the riviera golf course for the genesis open What about brison de chambo? What is it about his game that you like this week? So people don't like brison de chambo and that influences his numbers at golf tournaments right now He is the official world golf ranking number 18 overall In my personal rankings. He's probably closer to 12 13 14 Like I I think brison is a lot better than the market thinks brison is and and when brison has his game going You know, he plays immaculate rounds of golf And you know, if I'm going to hold that opinion that brison is better than the market thinks he is I need to be betting him outright at these prices because you know, I I think that he is better than for example You know hedecki matziyama who's listed at 28 to 1 and he's better than a lot of these other guys Who are are priced ahead of him? So not so much about course fit as just thinking he has missed price this week Davis maddock dailyroto.com. Thanks for the time We'll be checking in on your plays for this week and the genesis open at the riviera golf course Thanks for the time. Davis. Thanks guys for having me. That is the fan duel. Hurry up for this week Best of luck to everyone out there. I am sean guasamaki. See you next time
