They also provide weekend-long contests that offer $25,000 to first place on average. FanDuel has even tried to get into the weekend-long and final-round contests, offering $10,000 and $5,000 to first place in their PGA DFS Showdown contests.

Round 3 PGA DFS Picks: The RBC Heritage

Previous Round Recap

Morning Wave

Cameron Smith couldn’t use the quick turnaround to his advantage and allowed the rest of the field to catch up. Corey Conners would end up setting the pace at eleven-under, two ahead of Smith and the steadily-improving Collin Morikawa. Wesley Bryan and Tom Hoge were the only other two golfers to finish in the Top-10 through two rounds.

Other notables from the wave include Abraham Ancer and Shane Lowry, both of whom sit at seven-under, nine back of the leader.

Afternoon Wave

Speaking of our leader, Stewart Cink shot another 63 on Friday. That marks the first time that’s happened in quite some time, and he now has a five-shot lead at 16-under. Emiliano Grillo, who hasn’t bogeyed in 36 holes of golf, sits six back and is playing great. Most of the rest of the top 10 came from this wave, as the weather advantage certainly seemed to play out a bit over the first two rounds. Others worth keeping on an eye on this weekend include Sungjae Im, Billy Horschel, Will Zalatoris and Matt Fitzpatrick– the latter of whom shot a 64, which was one shy of Cink’s big day.

The RBC Heritage PGA DFS Picks

While bad weather may be on the menu for Sunday, it looks like ideal golf conditions tomorrow. The Mid 70s with a slight breeze all day.

PGA DFS Picks for Round 3 of The RBC Heritage 

  • Matthew Fitzpatrick ($9,000): The putter didn’t cooperate in Round 1, but it sure did on Friday. If the things are going well for Fitzpatrick, he can usually thank his putter. Maybe we missed his best round of the week, but the putter confidence will reverberate throughout Fitzpatrick’s game. You can bank on a bunch of quality birdie looks if nothing else.
  • Tyrrell Hatton ($8,500): It was yet another slow start for Hatton, but he did have a nice bounce-back round today via strokes-gained in all facets. Hatton is reasonably priced in with big-time boom potential. He’ll be out well before the leaders and maybe can get hot and post a 62 and give Cink at least something to think about.
  • Emiliano Grillo ($7,700): It’s hard to believe, but Grillo doesn’t have any bogeys through 36 holes. His ball-striking is back, and this course is set up ideally for his game. Grillo isn’t long off the tee, more distance and accuracy, rather than just pure distance. When his iron game is going, it’s about as close as you can get to Morikawa. Grillo’s price hasn’t caught up to his form, so let’s buy in before it does.

Sneaky PGA DFS Pick for Round 3

  • Tom Lewis ($6,200): Once he gets through to the weekend, this guy can be an absolute lightning rod. Lewis gained strokes in all facets of his game on Friday, so we’ve got a few things really working in our favor. He’s also the cheapest option of golfers to make the cut for the slate, which doesn’t hurt either.
