After missing the cut in his U.S. Open title defense, J.J. Spaun bounced back nicely with a T7 finish at the Travelers Championship, his seventh top-25 result in his last 10 starts. He now turns to the Scottish Open, where he has a missed cut and a T59 in two previous appearances. This season, Spaun ranks eighth in strokes gained tee to green (+1.124 per round), fifth on approach (+0.710), 34th off the tee (+0.283), and 45th in total driving, all key stats at The Renaissance Club. The biggest concern remains the putter, where he ranks 128th on Tour, losing -0.367 strokes per round. He also lacks elite length off the tee, ranking 103rd in driving distance. Spaun is playing great golf right now, but at $8,500 on DraftKings, is a boom-or-bust candidate given his shaky history at this tournament.

Aaron Rai continued his impressive stretch of golf at the Travelers Championship, recording a T30 finish, his eighth result of T30 or better this season. He now turns to the Scottish Open, where he has three missed cuts and three top-10 finishes, including a win in 2020. On the year, Rai ranks 21st in strokes gained tee to green (+0.716 per round), 51st off the tee (+0.183), 26th on approach (+0.394), and second on Tour in driving accuracy. His biggest inconsistency remains the putter, where he has been average, ranking 83rd and losing just -0.005 strokes per round. His long-iron play has also been a concern, ranking only 111th in proximity from over 200 yards, a distance that accounted for more than 36% of approach shots at The Renaissance Club last year. At $7,800 on DraftKings, Rai still offers strong value for fantasy managers looking for a player in excellent form who should consistently find fairways.

Robert MacIntyre has put together a solid season, recording seven top-25 finishes, including four top-10s, in 16 starts. He now returns to the Scottish Open, where he finished runner-up in 2023 before winning the tournament in 2024. Last year, in his title defense at The Renaissance Club, MacIntyre struggled off the tee, losing more than 5.1 strokes and finishing T65. This season, he ranks 18th in strokes gained off the tee (+0.470 per round), 11th in putting (+0.554), and 27th in total driving. The main concern remains his approach play, where he ranks 120th on Tour, losing -0.224 strokes per round. At $9,000 on DraftKings, MacIntyre will undoubtedly be one of the more popular options this week, but his success at this event makes him well worth consideration for fantasy lineups.

After his third-place finish at the U.S. Open, Tom Kim took a step back at the John Deere Classic, finishing T46 while losing more than 3.2 strokes with his short game. He now looks to get back on track at the Scottish Open, where he has recorded a third-place finish, T6, T15, and T17 in four appearances. Across those starts at The Renaissance Club, Kim has gained more than 17.6 strokes on approach and over 23.7 strokes tee to green. This season, he ranks 24th in strokes gained tee to green (+0.654 per round), 11th on approach (+0.562), and 38th in total driving. He has also turned his putting around, gaining strokes in four of the last six events. At just $7,600 on DraftKings, Kim offers very high upside in this price range.
