CORE PLAY:
Xander Schauffele - $11,000 - Core Play: Now Xander is the player that I want in most of my builds this week. When looking at Comp Course history he has 3 top 10 finishes which is by far the best out of anyone in the field. He also plays his best golf on Parkland Style course, and also in no cut events. Simply put Xander ranks out as the best play in the 925 model this week and I completely agree with that ranking. The only worry is that his stats could be slightly better (so far in 2022)
Troy Merritt - $6,900 - High Exposure Play : Merritt is a high exposure play in the since that he is clearly too cheap for someone that could easily end up being in contention come Sunday. At the 2019 ZOZO Championship Merritt had a 30th place finish. He also ranks out as a top 20 stat fit. I also think that it is worth noting that Merritt is much better on bent Greens, and Parkland style courses. This is a risky reward type play, but that is just the event that we have.
Collin Morikawa - $11,200 - Core Play: Now I do not agree with Morikawa being in the 11K price range this week, I do feel that he is slightly over priced, but I still think that he is going to be a great play. Morikawa has been solid (not elite) at the comp courses, but he is elite in basically all the key stats this week. I believe that he will get around a top 5 finish this week.
Sung Kang - $6,300 - High Exposure Play: Kang I like because he is in great recent form making the cut in his last 5 events. He also had a top 20 finish at this event in 2019. He is almost 3X better than his average on no cut events. I think that this tells us that he is going to be able to return value at this price point which is why I am giving him this rank.
