Saturday’s not for the cautious—it’s for the deranged optimists.
You know what Saturday golf is? It’s poker night with half the cards missing and the dealer already drunk. You’ve got guys trying to claw into contention, others playing like they’re already on the flight home, and somewhere in the chaos, you’re trying to build a DFS lineup that won’t implode by lunch.
Here are five guys who might just save your soul—or bury it under a triple-bogey avalanche.
🎯 Rory McIlroy – $12,200
You don’t pay $12,200 because it’s smart. You pay it because it’s Rory. And when Rory smells blood on a Saturday, it gets ugly—in a good way. He’s launching moonballs off the tee, shaping irons like he’s conducting an orchestra, and if the putter even pretends to behave, he’s dropping a 63 on this course like it owes him money.
There’s no safety net here. You’re buying the penthouse suite and praying the elevator doesn’t cut the cable.
🔥 Justin Thomas – $10,300
JT is heating up. You can see it in the tempo, in the body language, in the complete lack of club twirls after his misses (a sure sign he’s focused). He’s not just “playing well.” He’s lurking. The kind of lurking that turns into fireworks if he catches fire early on Saturday.
At $10,300, he’s perfectly priced to make you feel confident until you remember he’s also capable of putting three wedges into the same bunker. That’s the ride, folks.
🧨 Si Woo Kim – $7,600
Si Woo doesn’t believe in “momentum” or “safe lines” or “emotional regulation.” He’s here to attack pins, raise eyebrows, and leave no fantasy lineup unshaken. He’ll double the first and then birdie five of the next seven like nothing happened.
At $7,600, he’s the chaos agent you want when you’re behind in a GPP and need someone to shoot 61 or die trying. Probably both.
💣 J.T. Poston – $7,600
Poston’s game is like your favorite diner breakfast: simple, reliable, and shockingly effective. He’s not overpowering anything, but he knows how to score. Clean tee-to-green, nails from six feet, and just enough flair to keep things spicy.
He won’t break the slate, but he won’t break your heart either. And in Round 3, that’s a rare thing.
🪓 Gary Woodland – $6,400
This isn’t a value pick. This is a dare. Woodland at $6,400 is like finding a slightly dented Ferrari in a pawn shop—you don’t ask questions, you just get in and hope the engine starts.
He’s still got pop off the tee, still flushes irons like he’s trying to break the ball in half, and every now and then, he reminds us why he used to be feared. If the putter cooperates for even one day, Gary could be the low-owned wrecking ball you need.
Final Thoughts
You want Round 3 heroes? Here they are. High ceiling, low floor, questionable decisions all around. Perfect for the kind of Saturday where you yell at your phone, refresh your DraftKings app like it’s a slot machine, and question all your life choices by Hole 12.
Good luck. Or more accurately: good variance.
