Davis Thompson finished T-7 at the 3M Open last week. The American golfer struggled with his putter and around the green again for a fourth straight event. However, it did not cost him in Minnesota as it had at the US Open. Thompson can be dangerous when he puts it all together in Detroit as he finished T-2 in 2024 after gaining 2.57 strokes overall. The golfer was on a nice run then. Finding that consistency has been more of a challenge in 2026. Thompson has made cuts in 11 of the 18 events he has entered and three Top 10 efforts. It might be wise to wait and see how Thompson fares on Thursday and Friday before considering a wager.

Russell Henley did not have the best U.S. Open. The American golfer bounced back by contending at the Travelers Championship and The Open Championship. Henley wound up T-9 overseas behind an impressive 68-66 weekend. If one is wondering, Henley's putter is the key along with superior driver accuracy. The latter has been prevalent in four of his past five events. Henley's driver accuracy was 10+% more accurate compared to the rest of the field. Detroit will be a challenge given its 7,370 yard length. However, Henley once had a Top 10 without putting well in 2022. Henley could be worth a look in betting circles for this weekend.

Eric Cole enjoyed back-to-back Top 10 results and looked primed for the summer. Instead, the American golfer missed the cut at the RBC Canadian Open. The struggles have continued for Cole since where he has finished outside the Top 30 in four more events. His putter has been okay but not great. Cole has not putted like a Top 10 golfer over the past five tournaments. This is in spite of ranking second in putts per round at 27.75. Cole could bounce back at any time but the uncertainty is at least enough to consider fading him from a betting and DFS point of view.

Chandler Phillips has been on quite the roll since the US Open missed cut. The American golfer followed consecutive T-15 finishes with a season-best T-3 at the 3M Open. Phillips has now gone under 70 in 12 straight rounds. Phillips' biggest improvement comes via putting where he ranks 18th in strokes gained at 0.450. Last year that was just barely in the red. Furthermore, his 27.56 putts per round and 45.78% one-putt percentage can keep him in a high-birdie event like Detroit. At the least, Phillips will be on many radars for DFS users and might even be worth a look to contend especially if he can keep his drives on the fairway more often.
