Sometimes the stories write themselves.Additional Plays to ConsiderMark Farris: Xander Schauffele & Webb SimpsonDraftKings Price: Schauffele: $9,600 | Simpson: $9,200DraftKings Sportsbook Betting Odds to Win: Schauffele: +1600 | Simpson: +4000These are the weeks I love, but also the weeks I hate. Still, when the pressure hits the backswing, I like having these two hitting shots for me.Additional Play(s) to ConsiderBen Heisler: Cameron Smith DraftKings Price: $8,900DraftKings Sportsbook Betting Odds to Win: +4500For years, Brooks Koepka has been the name to associate with the category of, “That Dude You Play in Major Tournaments.” But if Smith keeps up the pace he’s on, he may soon join this very exclusive club. The odds have also dropped drastically from 50/1 down to 40/1 at some books.Additional Play(s) to ConsiderMark Farris: Will Zalatoris & Daniel BergerDraftKings Price: Zalatoris: $8,800 | Berger: $8,700DraftKings Sportsbook Betting Odds to Win: Zalatoris +5000 | Berger +2800I’m not going to get sneaky in this grouping this week. Don’t forget, he also took home the CJ Cup Championship at the end of 2020 at Shadow Creek in a fairly star-studded non-Major event.He’s underpriced, undervalued, and could be set to make some noise this week at Kiawah Island.Additional Plays to ConsiderMark Farris: Garrick Higgo, Charl Schwartzel & Ryan PalmerDraftKings Price: Higgo: $7,400 | Schwartzel: $6,800 | Palmer: $6,900DraftKings Sportsbook Betting Odds to Win: Higgo: +12500 | Schwartzel: +10000 | Palmer: +10000Here’s where I’m taking some risk. Plus, the casual players jumping into the fray this week because of a Milly Maker, won’t know his name.Additional Play(s) to ConsiderBen Heisler: Hideki MatsuyamaDraftKings Price: $9,400DraftKings Sportsbook Betting Odds to Win: +3300Matsuyama took home this year’s first major at Augusta and hadn’t played again until last week when he finished T39 at the AT&T Byron Nelson. He said his goal was to get his golf game back in shape, and maybe that goal was accomplished, but it’s awfully tough to then turn around immediately back into a Major the following week.Golf Digest reports that he “hardly practiced while he was in Japan (post-Masters)” and his around-the-green game at TPC Craig Ranch was brutal (4.5 strokes lost).He’s a terrific ball-striker who is more than talented enough to win back-to-back Majors, but I expect his rust to come into play this week after an emotional last several weeks since winning his first green jacket at Augusta.Additional Fade(s) to ConsiderMark Farris: Brooks KoepkaDraftKings Price: $9,500DraftKings Sportsbook Betting Odds to Win: +4500Man, this is tough.
