Heading into the weekend Ben Griffin ($7,800; 103.5 FPTS) and Nick Taylor ($6,500; 91.5 FPTS), were atop the leaderboard. In the $800K Summer Sand Trap tournament, Griffin was rostered on 6.92% of teams while Taylor was on 3%.

DraftKings Sportsbook had Griffin at +400 to win it all and -550 to finish top 10. Taylor was +600 to win it all and -400 to finish top 10. Those top 10 tickets are good, as Griffin finished second while Taylor finished fourth.

On Saturday, Griffin went even-par (72). On Sunday, he went +1 (73). Griffin bogeyed the first hole of the day, got it right back with a birdie on the next hole, but racked up a bogey and another birdie. On the back nine, Griffin had two straight bogeys before notching an eagle, birdie and double-bogey to close out the round. He finished -6 for the tournament.

Taylor went 69 and 68 during the first two rounds of the tournament. The weekend was a different story. On Saturday, he shot a +2 (74). On Sunday, he went +1 (73) and finished -4 for the tournament. Like Griffin, Taylor bogeyed the first hole of the round. He closed out the front nine with three birdies and a bogey. He bogeyed the first hole of the back nine then racked up a double-bogey on Hole 14. He was able to get a stroke back with a birdie on Hole 17.

The most rostered golfer was Scottie Scheffler ($13,300; 52 FPTS) at a whopping 42.24%. Scheffler was also the favorite to win following each round. After the first round, Scheffler was +240. After Friday, he was +175. Every win ticket cashed as he finished -10 for the tournament, four strokes better than the field.

Scheffler went -2 (70) on both Thursday and Friday. On Saturday, he had an unblemished round with four birdies to finish -4 (68). For the final round, he reverted back to his -2 (70) ways. It was a fairly uneventful Sunday, with one birdie on the front nine and two birdies with a bogey on the back nine.

Scheffler now has 16 career PGA Tour wins in 142 events played. He’s missed the cut only 19 times and finished top five 51 times.

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.
