PGA DFS Hot Takes for the 2022 U.S. Open
U.S. Open week is a favorite of mine, in large part because the course fit model is a strong one.

Tony Finau and Rory McIlroy are tied for the lead two strokes ahead of a quartet at T3. The afternoon wave had an easier go at the course today. It was worth about 0.37 strokes/round.  That isn’t adjusted for skill, though, so it was likely a bit closer than that.    It appears that there […]
