Memorial Tournament<\/strong><\/strong> Course: Muirfield Village Golf Club<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Memorial Tournament <\/strong>returns to Muirfield Village Golf Club<\/strong>, one of the premier\u00a0championship venues on the PGA Tour. Designed by Jack Nicklaus<\/strong>, this par-72 layout stretches over 7,500 yards <\/strong>and consistently ranks among the toughest non-major tests of the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muirfield Village demands excellence from tee to green, with thick rough, strategically\u00a0 placed bunkers, and fast Bentgrass greens that punish even slight mistakes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The course places a premium on approach play and distance control<\/strong>, as many greens ar\u00a0 elevated and heavily protected. Players who miss fairways face difficult shots from the rough,\u00a0making it challenging to hold firm putting surfaces. The recent renovations have added length,\u00a0repositioned bunkers, and increased the overall difficulty, ensuring that power alone is not\u00a0 enough to contend.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muirfield Village is known for producing leaderboards filled with elite ball-strikers. The par-5s\u00a0 offer scoring opportunities, but the long par-4s and demanding closing stretch require patience and precision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a complete golf course that tests every aspect of a player\u2019s game, and the\u00a0winner is usually someone who drives it well, controls their irons, and avoids costly mistakes\u00a0around the greens. Expect a winning score somewhere in the low double digits under par if\u00a0conditions remain firm and fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Memorial Tournament<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>: Players That Can Trip You Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cameron Young <\/strong>is going to be a popular pick because the recent form looks outstanding, but\u00a0 the course history is impossible to ignore. His finishes here are 25th, 50th, missed cut, and\u00a060th<\/strong>, showing a clear lack of comfort with the layout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, he ranks #1 in total strokes gained\u00a0over the last three months<\/strong>, and even after his win at the Cadillac, he followed it with a 10th and\u00a0 26th. The form is real, but some courses simply don’t fit certain players. At this price, I can’t\u00a0 overlook four years of mediocre results.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russell Henley <\/strong>feels like a classic letdown candidate after last week’s win. He finished 5th here\u00a0last year, but before that was just 27th and 16th. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More importantly, last week’s course setup\u00a0played perfectly into his strengths, while this one asks for a different skill set. He’s not long off\u00a0the tee, and that could become a problem here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you add in a missed cut at the PGA\u00a0 Championship and a 49th at the Cadillac before his win, I’m not convinced the recent victory\u00a0 suddenly changes everything.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tommy Fleetwood <\/strong>continues to be priced like an elite contender, but the underlying numbers\u00a0 don’t support it. He has finishes of 16th and 20th here the last two years, which are respectable\u00a0but hardly dominant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the last three months, he ranks just 23rd in total strokes gained <\/strong>in\u00a0 this field. That’s a solid golfer, not someone who should be priced as a Top 10 option. The name\u00a0value is carrying more weight than the actual results, making him a fade this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Memorial Tournament<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>: DraftKings Darlings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Eric Cole ($6,700) <\/strong>burned a lot of people with last week\u2019s lineup, but I\u2019m going right back to\u00a0one of the steadiest players in the field. His last four finishes are 2nd, 31st, 6th, and 14th<\/strong>, and the underlying numbers remain excellent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Length off the tee is really the only weakness, but\u00a0 every other part of his game has been elite over the last three months. The course history isn\u2019t\u00a0 amazing\u201444th, 45th, and 24th the last three years\u2014but current form outweighs that concern. I\u2019ll\u00a0 trust the hot hand to rack up points over four rounds.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nick Taylor ($6,800) <\/strong>has quietly been one of the better course-history plays in this price range.\u00a0He\u2019s finished 4th and 27th <\/strong>here the last two years and closed the season with three straight\u00a0 finishes of 26th or better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The putter hasn\u2019t been at its best lately, but in a no-cut format we still\u00a0 get four rounds to let the scoring accumulate. At this salary, the combination of course comfort\u00a0 and recent consistency is hard to ignore.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corey Conners ($7,100) <\/strong>feels like a perfect fit for a DFS lineup built around making it through\u00a0 all four rounds. He\u2019s finished 25th and 20th <\/strong>here the last two years and has only one missed cut\u00a0 all season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The putter remains the concern, but his accuracy off the tee and reliable ball-striking\u00a0 continue to keep him in tournaments. He\u2019s not the longest hitter, but this course doesn\u2019t demand\u00a0elite distance. With solid course history and a dependable profile, Conners looks like a strong\u00a0value play.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rest of lineup: Spieth $7,900, Smalley $8,000, Scheffler $13,500 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One and Done: Alex Smalley<\/p>\n\n\n\n
