Hideki Matsuyama Looks to Continue FedEx Cup Push at Rocket Classic
There was too much ground to make up on Sunday at the 3M for Hideki Matsuyama, who had his best finish since February with a T3. He continues to dismantle courses with his short game, averaging 2.05 strokes gained around the greens. This led the field by a wide margin, but the downside is that it's due to over two and a half strokes he lost on approach for the week. It was just the third time he lost strokes with his approach play in his last 12 events. He'll make his sixth appearance at the Rocket Classic this week, but like everyone else, he'll be seeing this redesigned Detroit Golf Club for the first time. The focus on making missed greens more penalizing plays right into the 34-year-old's wheelhouse. As long as the putter doesn't let him down, he will be another high-value fantasy asset.

Jackson Koivun Looks to Continue Winning Ways at Rocket Classic
Seeing the guts and poise from Jackson Koivun on Sunday at the 3M Open validated the thoughts many had when he began his professional journey just a few weeks ago. He staved off the number one player in the world and went bogey-free over his rounds on the weekend to claim his first PGA Tour victory, leading the field in strokes gained on approach (2.34) and ranking third in strokes gained putting (1.60). Even at 21 years of age, he looks to be as complete a player as any other mid-to-top-level PGA Tour talent right now. It's still too early to tell how well his game travels to different course setups, and a pure Donald Ross design this week at the Detroit Golf Club is much different than last week in Minnesota. But he did finish T23 at this year's US Open at Aronimink, another Ross design. Look for the youngster to continue his incredible play this week.

Michael Kim Needs More Magic at Rocket Classic
After posting an incredible 59 in Friday's second round at the 3M Open, Michael Kim came crashing back to reality on the weekend to fall into a tie for 10th. In one round, he was able to gain over six and a half strokes on the greens, but failed to gain them in any of the other three rounds. Even with posting minuscule rounds under par over the weekend, he averaged negative total strokes gained over the weekend. He'll be making his sixth career start at the Rocket Classic this week, a venue where the 33-year-old hasn't found much success. The added length and difficulty on and around the greens since last year's $16.1 million renovation at Detroit Golf Club also don't do Kim any favors. Just because he had one historical round doesn't change the fact that he has been and still is a DFS liability.

Chris Gotterup the Arguable Favorite at Rocket Classic
After his win at the John Deere Classic, Chris Gotterup carried that over the pond for good showings at both the Scottish Open and Open Championship. He'll be making what is presumably his final start this week in Detroit before the playoffs begin. The 27-year-old is making his fourth appearance at the Rocket Classic, where he hasn't had the best showings in his three previous times despite fitting the bill for the type of player that has thrived here. This course has had a major facelift from last season, which includes new greens, more penalizing areas for missing them, and being restructured to a par-70 after eliminating two par 5s. This could effectively suit Gotterup even more with long iron play and driving efficiency become even more important. Look for him to better his past finishes this week.
