Truist Championship: Tracking the Leaderboard after Final Round

Published:

By: Stan Son

After the first two rounds of the Truist Championship, the field was looking up at Keith Mitchell ($7,400; 95 FPTS), who led by one stroke lead heading into the weekend.

In the $750K Sand Trap tournament, Mitchell was rostered on 9.49% of teams.

DraftKings Sportsbook had Mitchell as the favorite at +320.

After Saturday, it was Sepp Straka ($8,700; 128.5 FPTS) and Shane Lowry ($8,500; 103 FPTS) who were tied for the lead. Straka was rostered on 10.96% of teams while Lowry was on 13.66%.

After Sunday’s final round, it was Straka who bested the field by two strokes to claim the crown with a 2-under (68). He eagled Hole 5 but gave back a stroke with a bogey on the next hole. Straka then closed out the front nine with two birdies. The back nine did not start well with two straight bogeys, but he got a stroke back with a birdie four holes later then cruised for his fourth PGA Tour victory.

The most rostered golfer was Rory McIlroy ($12,000; 94.5 FPTS) at 34.59%.

McIlroy was consistent all tournament, going 66, 67 and 69 through three rounds. On Sunday, he went 2-under (68) with an unblemished round, but he only mustered two birdies. McIlroy finished six strokes off the lead.

There were two other golfers rostered on at least 20% of teams:

Justin Thomas ($10,000; 108 FPTS) was at 24.42%. Thomas finished T2, two strokes behind Straka. Thomas went 66, 67, 66 and 67 for the tournament.

Xander Schauffele ($10,200; 81.5 FPTS) was at 20.54%. Schauffele shot 67, 69, 69 and 66 for the tournament.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
