At this point, you’ll want to familiarize yourself with the strokes […]

Regardless of the event, PGA DFS is all about […]

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 […]
