Deutsche Bank Championship TPC Boston - Norton, MA Par 71, 7,214 Yards Jason Day took over the Fedex Cup points lead after a 6 stroke win at the Barclays last weekend. Day played very well in picking up his third win in four events including the PGA Championship and his first major. With the elite field at the Barclays Day was still able to pull away on Sunday, birdieing five of the final nice holes. The favorite going into the tournament, Jordan Spieth, failed to make the cut and struggled mightily but only fell one spot behind Day in the standings due to his gigantic lead going in. Both Day and Spieth will have a shot at taking over #1 in the world this weekend with a win. Not an easy task as Rory(Current #1) will be back to try climb up the Fedex Cup points and stay at #1 in the world. Either way it will make for an exciting weekend in round 2 of the playoffs. On to next week! The 2nd round of the PGA Tour Fedex Cup playoffs will be the Deutsche Bank Championship. Unlike the Barclays rotating course schedule, the Deutsche Bank Championship has been played at TPC Boston since 2003 when the Fedex Cup Playoffs started. The course is a Par 71, 7214 Yard test for the final 100 players in the race for the Fedex Cup. Come Sunday afternoon, only the top 70 players in the standings will move on to BMW Championship. When looking back at previous Deutsche Bank leaderboards the one thing that sticks out is the frequency of the elite players in the game. The final score usually ranges between -15 and -20 so scoring will be essential again this week. The course has three Par 5's and two of them will be easily approachable in two for most of the field. To contend this week golfers will have to go -2 to -4 each day on these holes. There are also a number of shorter par 4 holes and two of them are driveable by most of the field. I will...

The Barclays Plainfield Country Club - Edison, NJ Par 72, 7,091 Yards Davis Love III won the Wyndham Championship on Sunday to secure his spot in the Fedex Cup playoffs. He came into the tournament in 186th in the standings and with the win moved to 76th in the standings and inside the top 100 cutline which will come after the Barclays this weekend. Four other players broke the bubble and played their way into the first playoff event at the Barclays. Jason Gore, with his 2nd place finish, moved from 166th in the standings to 98th. The other three to play their way in were Jonas Blixt(135th - 121st), Camillo Villegas(129th - 123rd), and Ryo Ishikawa(130th - 124th). Overall, it was an exciting event this past weekend. Tiger Woods had his best finish in two years and was a final round away from contending for another win. The crowds were huge throughout the entire weekend and Tiger playing like Tiger is only a good thing for the game. He didn't make the Fedex Cup playoffs but ended his season on a high note after a season of lows. This week the PGA Tour heads to Plainfield Country Club for the first of four playoff events in the race for the Fedex Cup and 10 million dollars. The top 125 golfers in the Fedex Cup standings have made it to the playoffs but not all will be teeing it up this weekend at the Barclays(Rory McIlroy, Sergio Garcia, & Louis Oosthuisen most notably). The top 100 in the standings following this tournament will advance to the the Deutsche Bank Championship next week. From there the top 70 will advance to the BMW Championship and from there the top 30 advance to the Tour Championship at East Lake. The cutline for this tournament will still be top 70 and ties. The main course at Plainfield Country Club was originally designed by Donald Ross back in 1916. During the past 10 years architect Gil Hanse has lead some massive changes to the course including the removal of over 1200 trees, additions of bunkers lost years ago,...

This is a separate service than our traditional monthly membership. Wyndham Championship Sedgefield Country Club - Greensboro, NC Par 71, 7,071 Yards The season's final major ended on a high note with Jason Day capturing his first career major championship. He looked poised and locked in from tee off through to the 18th hole tap in putt for the win. Jordan Spieth was the runner up and became only the third player(Tiger Woods & Jack Nicklaus) to place top 4 in all majors in one season. That wasn't the only milestone Jordan reached on Sunday. He passed Rory McIlroy to become the #1 player in the world. It has been an exciting year for major championship golf leaving us with the Fedex Cup Playoffs to close out the 2015 PGA Tour season. A four tournament race to the finish for the Fedex Cup trophy and 10 Million Dollar prize. Before we get to the playoffs we have one final tournament for players outside the top 125 to earn a spot in the playoff field. The PGA Tour heads to Greensboro, North Carolina this week for the Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club. It is the final tournament before the Fedex Cup Playoffs begin at the Barclays. Those players outside the top 125 will have one last chance to lock up there spot. Most notably trying to get in will be Tiger Woods. He sits in 187th in the standings at almost 300 points behind 125th place. He will need at least a 2nd a place finish to have a shot. Back to the course. It isn't long but tee shots will have to be placed in the right spots to be able to hit the greens and more importantly put it close to have a birdie chance. The greens are undulating and smaller than average so not only will greens in regulation be important but proximity will be a must. With the greens being undulating and tougher than normal I will be looking for not only Strokes Gained Putting but also 3 Putt Avoidance. All the stats I am using this week are listed below: Strokes Gained: Tee to Green Driving Accuracy Greens...
Daily Fantasy PGA Picks for DraftKings, Victiv, & Fantasy Feud – WGC Bridgestone Invitational

This is a separate service than our traditional monthly membership. WGC Bridgestone Invitational Firestone Country Club(South Course) - Akron, OH Par 70, 7,400 Yards Yards This week the PGA Tour will head to the Firestone Country Club for the World Golf Championship - Bridgestone Invitational. The top 70 golfers in the world plus invites will compete against one another for a shot at winning a WGC event that Tiger Woods has dominated over the years. The players won't have to worry about Tiger this year as he will not be playing. Forget about Tiger, there are so many golfers under 30 years old right now who are competing week in and week out. It makes for exciting golf and great finishes almost ever tournament. Before this year I have never paid this much attention to every tournament each week as I have this year now that I am writing about it. This is due to the massively growing DFS industry. It is a great time to be a golf and sports fan in general. Ok, on to the course this week. Firestone Country Club has been home to the WGC Bridgestone Invitational in 16 of the 17 years it has been around. The course was opened in 1929 and designed by Bert Way. It was redesigned in 1959 by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and became the course it is today with the help of some Jack Nicklaus tweaks along the way. The course is a Par 70, 7400 yard test for the golfers. It has two Par 5's(526/667 yards), four Par 3's(200/219/180/221 Yards) and 12 Par 4's(Between 399 & 394 Yards). To make it to the top of the leaderboard the players will have to excel on the Par 4 holes. With 8 of the 12 Par 4's 442+ Yards, driving distance will be a factor to have a decent approach at the greens. Not only is distance important, but accuracy will be as well with the rough not as friendly as most and will definitely penalize those who land in there on their first shot. With the greens being very fast not only will Greens in Regulation be important but Proximity...
Daily Fantasy PGA Picks for DraftKings, Victiv, & Fantasy Feud – Quicken Loans National

This is a separate service than our traditional monthly membership. Quicken Loans National Robert Trent Jones Golf Club - Gainsville, VA Par 71, 7,385 Yards The RBC Canadian Open has wrapped up and the Canadian drought continues. David Hearn held the lead going into Sunday but could only muster an even par round to finish two strokes back of winner Jason Day. Another Canadian, Adam Hadwin, shot a 66 on Sunday to finish T7 for the week. As a Canadian myself, I was thrilled to see two guys in the top 10. As for Jason Day, it was clear he quickly shook off the missed putt at the Open Championship in Scotland. He had a 21 foot putt on 18 to get to -17 and take the clubhouse lead and put it right in the middle of the cup. Going into the PGA Championship, Day will definitely be one of the favorites. Now onto this week. The PGA Tour travels to Gainsville, Virginia this week for the Quicken Loans National at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club. This will be the first time the PGA Tour has visited this course for a stroke play event. The course has hosted the Presidents Cup four times(2005,2000,1996,1994) but not many of the players in the field played those events. I have highlighted the records of those who played the 2005 event in my cheatsheet this week. As there will be no course history to look at I have provided the Quicken Loans National results for each player over the past five years. It will give us a feel for what players get up for this tournament. The course has 11 Par 4's, three Par 5's, and four Par 3's. Six of the Par 4 holes are 450+ yards with the longest stretching to 500 yards. I will be looking closely at Par 4 Performance this week as well as Birdie or Better % from 175-200 Yards. There will be a lot of approaches on the par 4's from that distance and combine that with the Par 3 holes that are 175,190,200,210 yards in length. As for other stats, I will be looking at Strokes Gained:...

RBC Canadian Open Glen Abbey Golf Club - Oakville, Ontario Par 72, 7,273 Yards As I write this I am sitting in a Las Vegas hotel room waiting for a late flight back to Canada. What a perfect place to be for the Open, where I normally don't get to watch much due to the time change. Well, buddy and I ended up staying up till the wee hours of the morning each day to watch. You are probably thinking "Why would you go on holidays to the desert in the middle of July?" Well I just happened to win a trip to the inaugural Fantasy Sports Combine that was held at the Wynn Hotel & Casino. I can't put into words how incredible that experience was. Got to meet ex players and coaches such as Dante Culpepper, Terrell Davis, Mike Shanahan, Brandon Stokley, Todd Heap, Brandon Jacobs, Kyle Orton and Tank Williams. For myself, as a first year fantasy writer, this was not the highlight of the trip. The fantasy combine brought in second to none group of fantasy experts. Drew Dinkmeyer, Al Zeidenfeld, Peter Jennings, Matthew Berry, John Hansen, Jonathan Bales, Liz Loza, and Brad Evans. The value in the knowledge of both season long and daily fantasy could not be found anywhere else. I cannot wait till next year. It is now Tuesday morning and I am back in Canada finally after an entire day between airports, flight delays, and long drive home after. It is time for the preview of this weeks RBC Canadian Open. This years Canadian National Championship will take place at Glen Abbey Golf Club in Oakville, Ontario. Every year the venue for the RBC Canadian Open switches and this will be the 29th time it has been held at Glen Abbey. This weeks course history on the cheatsheet will consist of the last four Canadian Opens played at Glen Abbey. There will be more than 20 players who competed at the Open Championship at St. Andrews last week. With the tournament delayed several times and played into Monday, I am sure there will be many of the players...
