Bud Cauley followed up his win in Canada with a T56 finish last week at the US Open. He still maintained a quality level of ball striking form, but uncharacteristically lost over four strokes on the greens. The 36-year-old is in the field this week for the Travelers Championship, the last Signature Event of the season. It will be his 10th start in this event, where he's only finished inside the top 25 three times. It's a bit unusual, given his strong wedge and short iron ability, but averaging -0.836 strokes gained on the greens is the likely culprit. He's playing well enough to be a major contender this week if he performs better with the flat stick. His victory didn't do much to affect DFS pricing much, making him an excellent pick toward the lower end of the board, especially for riskier lineups.

It was another close call at a US Open title for Sam Burns, who was the only player to make a real charge on Sunday at Shinnecock when he birdied four of his opening eight holes. He stumbled late with a bogey on 15 and missed another opportunity on 17 that would have landed him in a playoff. Still, it was a great performance throughout the bag, as he ranked third in the field in strokes gained on approach (1.55) and from tee to green (2.28). He'll get his next chance at victory this week in Cromwell, Connecticut at the Travelers Championship, where he finished T17 last year. The 29-year-old should be among the favorites statistically, as he ranks well in par-4 scoring and birdie or better percentage on the season. The issue will be judging his play based on his emotionally draining week on Long Island. For that reason alone, he may be better left on the shelf to avoid his high ownership level incase he doesn't produce.

Bryson DeChambeau has put together a strong season on LIV, recording two victories and four additional finishes of T11 or better. He now turns to the U.S. Open, an event he has won twice, most recently in 2024 and previously in 2020. The biggest story surrounding DeChambeau has been his struggles in majors this season. He missed the cut at both the Masters and the PGA Championship after losing more than 7.1 strokes around the greens and 1.3 strokes on approach. When the U.S. Open was last held at Shinnecock Hills in 2018, DeChambeau finished T25, gaining more than 5.4 strokes putting but once again losing strokes on approach and around the greens. On LIV this season, he has gained +0.22 strokes per round with his short game and +1.19 with his ball striking. The upside is obvious, but after his recent major championship struggles, his biggest test this week may be his mental game. At $11,000 on DraftKings, fantasy managers will want to carefully weigh out their options.

Ludvig Aberg has put together a very strong season, finishing outside the top 21 in just two of his last 12 starts, a stretch that includes six top-10s. He now turns to the U.S. Open, where he has recorded a T12 and a missed cut in two previous appearances. This will be his first trip to Shinnecock Hills, though his game should set up well here. Aberg ranks second in total strokes gained (+1.486 per round), 16th off the tee (+0.513), 11th on approach (+0.577), and 50th in driving accuracy. In 10 career major championship starts, he has missed four cuts but also recorded six top-25 finishes. At $9,200 on DraftKings, Aberg offers tremendous upside and possesses all the tools needed to capture his first major championship this week.
