After Thursday’s first round of the U.S. Open, J.J. Spaun ($6,700; 92.5 FPTS) was atop the leaderboard and +1200 to win it all on DraftKings Sportsbook. Heading into the weekend, he was in second place by one stroke and +700 to win it all.

Sunday did not begin so pleasantly for Spaun, as he bogeyed the first three holes of the round. He followed that up with two more a few holes later. On the back nine, he got back two strokes after three birdies and a bogey before walking it off with a 65-foot putt.

Spaun finished Sunday +2 (72) and -1 for the tournament.

In the $3M Fantasy Golf Millionaire tournament, Spaun was rostered on only 3.19% of teams.

Robert MacIntyre ($6,700; 80 FPTS) made things interesting, as he and Spaun were tied heading into the final hole.

Like Spaun, MacIntyre had a rough start to Sunday, but he only racked up three bogeys and drained an eagle and a birdie on the front nine. He then notched two more birdies on the back nine to finish the day -2 (68).

MacIntyre was rostered on 6.47% of teams.

The most rostered golfer was Scottie Scheffler ($14,400; 64 FPTS) at 37.44%. Bryson DeChambeau ($11,000; 16 FPTS) was right behind at 36.84%.

Scheffler finished Thursday +3 (73). He improved by two strokes on Friday and was +4 for the tournament and T23 heading into the weekend.

DK Sportsbook had Scheffler at +650 to win it all, the second-lowest odds, and -190 to finish top-10 after Thursday. He was +800 to win it all, the fourth-lowest odds, and -225 to finish top-10 heading into the weekend.

For the tournament, Scheffler finished +4 and T8 after he went even-par (70) on both Saturday and Sunday. On the front nine on Sunday, Scheffler racked up a double-bogey and two birdies. On the back nine, he had two bogeys and two birdies.

DeChambeau finished Thursday +3 (73). On Friday, he finished +7 (77) and missed the cut.

Jon Rahm ($10,200; 62.5 FPTS) was rostered on 25.67% of teams, the third-most. He was the favorite to win it all at +550 on DK Sportsbook and -225 to finish top-10 after Thursday. He was +220 to win it all, the seventh-lowest odds, and +115 to finish top-10 after Friday.

Rahm went +3 (73) on Saturday then went -3 (67) on Sunday to finish +4 and T7 for the tournament. On Sunday, Rahm had a birdie and a bogey on the front nine. On the back nine, he had a three-birdie streak on the final three holes of the round.

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.
