Sam Burns finished tied for 20th at last week's RBC Canadian Open and will now turn his focus to preparing for this week's U.S. Open Championship held at Shinnecock Hills in Tuckahoe, New York. Burns put together another strong performance following his tied-for-fourth finish at the Memorial Tournament two weeks ago. So far this year, Burns has finished in the top-30 in the first two majors, finishing tied for seventh at the Masters Tournament and tied for 26th at the PGA Championship.

Things looked promising for Brooks Koepka last week in Canada before a hand injury cropped up during the third round. He would go on to shoot 72 and withdraw before the final round. It's more detrimental given the timing of right before he looks to defend his 2018 US Open victory at this week's Shinnecock venue. He's slated to make the start, nonetheless, but it definitely makes him a riskier DFS option than he was before. The FSU product has established a high strokes gained on approach metric, but every other part of his game has certainly had moments of disappointment. The putter has finally rebounded to gain strokes on the greens in his latest two starts. The signs are there for him to be a worthwhile DFS play, but the injury immediately squashes any hope of finding room for Koepka in lineups.

Tommy Fleetwood is coming off a T11 finish last week in Canada after failing to get anything going on Sunday and falling from his T3 position he began the day at. He is teeing it up at Shinnecock this week, where he finished runner-up in 2018. Everything seems to be firing on all cylinders, despite failing to capture another victory since his improbable victory last year at East Lake. Even with so many quality finishes this season, the 35-year-old has been prone to inconsistency from tee to green, at times, which explains his 44th ranking in strokes gained on approach (0.295). Nonetheless, he's still one of the most prolific ball strikers out there, and the ceiling for what he's capable of is too good to pass on.

It was a long and painful journey for Bud Cauley before capturing his first career PGA Tour victory last week in Canada. It was likely the 36-year-old's best putting performance of his life, averaging 1.69 strokes gained on the greens of TPC Toronto. The vibes couldn't be higher heading into the year's third major, as his ball striking has been great even before last week. Over his last seven starts, Cauley is averaging 0.634 strokes gained on approach and 0.502 off the tee. If the putting and chipping continue to cooperate, he could surprise us. It's not uncommon to see someone as patient as the former Crimson Tide golfer has been go on to win a few more times once the lid is taken off. It may be far-fetched to think he's ready to win a U.S. Open, but believing in his ability to be a DFS asset this week is not.
