Sungjae Im $9,300 will slide under the radar a bit, with most teams trying to grab two of the top-priced players to start their teams. The San Diego area native struggled here for a bit but seems to have overcome that lately and should be in play in all formats. He was able to record an albatross on the 5th hole to help him shoot a 62 in the final round. Xander Schauffele $10,300 looked healthy last week at The American Express. Ownership numbers are going to be huge with the top 3 here so if you are looking to go contrarian, you may want to look at Collin Morikawa at $10,000 who gets the easier start for the week on the North Course. 1 in the field in strokes gained total and tee to green according to. Tony Finau $10,500 has been tremendous this season, and of course, it pales in comparison to Jon Rahm at the top of this board. I feel good about the players that make up my core in the $7k and $8k range, so it brings Rahm into a lot of builds. The board is incredibly top-heavy and many will jump at the $1,100 discount to go down to Finau, but I am a bit reluctant to go less than 20% ownership across my teams. Jon Rahm $11,600 is priced higher than he ever has been at Torrey Pines and that’s saying something as he is almost always the favorite here. I’m riding the hot hand, hoping he doesn’t have a hangover after that performance. Thompson is averaging more than 313 yards off the tee and is hitting 72% of his greens in regulation over his last 36 rounds. It was tough to see, but that ball picked up speed those last few feet by the hole. 17, but I think hitting the flagstick might have actually saved him a stroke. I know most people think the flagstick kept him from tying it up on No. He has been able to parlay that into hitting over 73.5% of his greens in regulation over his last 36 rounds.ĭavis Thompson +12500 had a great fight last week against Jon Rahm at The American Express. Buckley has more than enough power averaging over 307 yards off the tee, and has been better than 65% when it comes to hitting the fairway. Hayden Buckley +10000 finished second at the Sony Open, and I was kicking myself for not being more invested in him there. He finished inside the top 15 here last year and let’s face it Luke List was able to win here as a much worse version of Pendrith. He’s long off the tee averaging over 317 yards off the tee and hitting more than 73% of his greens in regulation over his last 36 holes. ![]() Pendrith wasn’t a great fit at The American Express but fits the mold of a player who can conquer the more than 7,700 yards that is Torrey Pines’ South Course. Taylor Pendrith +8000 may have missed the cut last week, but that won’t stop me from backing him this week. I would love to get Day at a better number than this, but he may get off to a hot start as he begins his week off 10 on the North Course as the third group off the tee. He has won here twice in 20 and finished top 3 two other times. Jason Day +2500 is a big-time horse for the course at Torrey Pines. He was still a little shaky with his iron game, but I’m not too concerned. ![]() He gained 1.69 strokes off the tee and gained 1.6 strokes with his putter. After missing the cut at the Sony Open he bounced back at the American Express with a T18. Sungjae Im +2200 has steadily improved his finishing positions at the Farmers Insurance Open over the last few years. Many of the PGA Tour’s best players used to start their new year by teeing it up in San Diego, but that might be a thing of the past with the Farmers Insurance Open not being an enhanced purse. The Farmers Insurance Open is going up against the Dubai Desert Classic where Rory McIlroy is a heavy favorite to win. This week’s field is incredibly top-heavy and is missing most of the key DP World Tour players that can boost the field strength. After all the PGA Tour youngster Davis Thompson who pushed Jon Rahm all the way to the end last week, is in the field once again this week. While Rahm is the clear-cut favorite and is even in play at a lofty $11,600 on DraftKings, I will try to look for players that could pull off the seemingly impossible this week or at least give us a decent way to hedge our bets like Xander Schauffele was able to do late on Sunday last week.
