Daily Fantasy Golf Strategy: CIMB Classic

We are back for Week 3 and our picks for Daily Fantasy Golf at DraftKings. This week, the PGA Tour heads Malaysia for the CIMB Classic. Let’s get down to business and make some money.

It’s a great week to check out DraftKings as they have some top notch contests for the final week. Come on over and take a look.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This tournament locks at 7pm on Wednesday night (Eastern) so get those lineups in early.

Tour Stop

For this week’s tour stop we are off to Bukit Kiara, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for the CIMB Classic. The CIMB is held at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club (KLGCC) on the West Course – a par 72, 6,985 yard course. The course was originally designed in 1991 by Nelson & Haworth Golf Architects and then redesigned by Ted and Geoff Parslow.

The CIMB has been played at the KLGCC since 2013. The KLGCC also hosted the Malaysian Open in 2006 and every year since 2010.

The weather looks like we could see thunderstorms (and heat) but it is Malaysia so… Also, the PGA Tour has warned the players about a typhoid outbreak and poor air quality. Enjoy! Check back Wednesday to see how the weather evolves as there may be a tee time advantage to be had. There will almost certainly be delays.

Scorecard breakdown: We have a par-72 this week so we have four (4) par threes, ten (10) par fours and four (4) par fives.

Field

This is a limited field event with just 78 golfers teeing it up.

The full field can be found here.

Past Tournament Results

We only have two years of history for the CIMB at this course, but we do have history from the Malaysian Open to use as well. So, we’ll look at both the CIMB from the last two years as well as the Malaysian Open over the last three.

Statistical Review

It’s a no cut event with a good number of players who don’t play regularly on the PGA Tour. So, the statistical options are somewhat limited. It’s another course where we need to score.

This week, I’ll focus on:

Birdie or Better Percentage (BBPct) – the percent of time the score is a birdie or something better. We like that something better. This stat tells us who scores the best (and the most). We want scorers this week.

Greens in Regulation (GIR) – GIR seems to have been useful in the past at the CIMB, though not nearly as useful as last week.

I also always examine Strokes Gained: Putting (SG:P) and Strokes Gained: Tee to Green (SG:T2G) every week.

DraftKings Expert Picks

Henrik Stenson | $12,100 – Fade. I’ll keep fading these high priced guys until I get burned. Stenson can clearly do well here (though he’s never played here previously), but we haven’t seen much out of the big “favorites” early in the year.

Hideki Matsuyama | $10,900 – He’s played here the last two years and finished T25 and T21 – that’s two top 25 finishes, but we are talking about the second highest salary on the board. He made his season debut at the Frys which ended with a T17. He finished 2015 at seventh in BBPct and 21st in GIR, so the profile works, but I’m not going all in with Hideki based on his course history.

Kevin Na | $10,800 – Na has opened the fall season with back to back second place finishes (including losing in a playoff). And looky here – he finished T2 at the CIMB last year as well. He’s playing just about as well as anybody right now and his standing at 33rd last year in BBPct gives me confidence to roster him extensively.

Sergio Garcia | $10,700 – Garcia has played the course twice for the CIMB and has come out with a T11 and T2. Why he’s cheaper than Matsuyama or Stenson is somewhat confounding to me given that history. He finished the PGA Tour season at 24th in BBPct and 59th in GIR so maybe his profile makes him a tick worse, but the fall season has always been Sergio’s playground.

Branden Grace | $10,500 – Grace is probably my GPP key player this week as he makes his debut at the CIMB. I don’t see a lot of players on him this week as there are a number of more “familiar” options above and below. He went undefeated (5-0-0) in his time at the Presidents’ Cup. He’s tenth on the European Tour in GIR, second in stroke average and a huge driver of the ball (20th overall on the European Tour).

Patrick Reed | $10,100 – Reed has teed it up twice here with limited success (T40 and T26). He did finish 25th in BBPct last year though only 141st in GIR. He also finished a reasonable 33rd in par 5 scoring. His history here scares me off a bit, but was T3 in Hong Kong last week.

Ryan Moore | $9,900 – Has won the CIMB in back to back years. So, you’re fading him if you think he can’t win three in a row. He’s only the seventh most expensive golfer this week so it’s tough to fade him (and I certainly won’t). Sure, winning three in a row is rare, but the form is impossible to ignore.

Anirban Lahiri | $9,800 – Lahiri earned his PGA Tour card last season, but continues to play well all around the world. He’s atop the Asian Tour’s Order of Merit with five top 10 finishes on the Asian Tour. He won the Malaysian Open (on this course) earlier this year and also had a T10 the prior year. The only thing that may scare owners off is his performance at the CIMB which has produced a T52 last year after a T35 in his debut.

Adam Scott | $9,700 – Scott’s starting his year off earlier than usual, but his form at the end of the season and his struggles with the putter have me off him this week. He closed the 2015 season on this run – 45th, missed cut, T63 and missed cut. Sure, there isn’t a cut so there is limited risk with Scott so maybe he’ll see himself into a GPP lineup for me.

Justin Thomas | $9,600 – Thomas led the Tour in par 5 scoring last season. And that’s probably enough to recommend him without any other information. He also finished last year sixth in BBPct and 27th in GIR. He debuted this season at the Frys with a T3. He has a lot going for him this week.

Paul Casey | $9,500 – Casey’s profile works (though it generally does) as he finished 31st in BBPct and fifth in GIR. He played here last year and placed T37. He makes his season debut here after closing out last season with a T5 at the Tour Championship.

Luke Donald | $9,300 – Donald played the CIMB tourney in 2010 and finished T3. Unfortunately, that was on a different course (but in the same country). Donald’s profile doesn’t work (171st in BBPct and 115th in GIR). He’s continued to play in Europe after the PGA season ended and put together a tidy T5 in the British Masters his last time out.

Danny Lee | $9,200 – Lee debuted here last year with a T13 so he can perform on the KLGCC. His last time out ended with a T2 at the Tour Championship. He finished last season at 19th in BBPct while sitting 111th in GIR so he can score even without being the most efficient at reaching the green.

Harris English | $9,100 – English made his first and only appearance at the CIMB in 2014 and finished T7. This is his season debut after closing out last season with a T22 at the Tour Championship. He finished in 62nd place in BBPct and 70th in GIR so he has a profile that will work.

Gary Woodland | $8,700 – Ryan Moore-lite. He’s finished second to Moore in each of the last two years. Just about everything we say about Moore holds true for Woodland. He has a different profile than Moore as Woodland overpowers courses (and scalds par 5s). It’s tough to argue with his history at the course.

Daniel Berger | $8,600 – Berger closed out the FedEx Cup playoffs with three straight top 15 finishes. He carried that over into the new season with a T17 at the Frys in the opener. He finished 36th in BBPct and 30th in GIR last year so his profile works as well as he makes his debut at the CIMB.

Tony Finau | $8,500 – Finau finished in 16th place in par 5 scoring last year, eighth in BBPct overall and 57th in GIR. He’s started this year with a T32 at the Frys and T16 at the Shriners. The profile works and the form is solid so we look for Finau to make a solid debut at the CIMB.

Scott Piercy | $8,400 – Piercy put up a solid T25 last week with his final three rounds all sub-70. He’s never played at KLGCC, but did play this tourney back in 2010 and finished tenth (on a different course). He finished 44th in BBPct and 80th in GIR in 2015 so he has a profile to work.

John Senden | $8,300 – Senden ended the 2014-15 season 67th in BBPct and 68th in GIR. He missed the cut in the opening tournament this season, but put up a tasty T16 last week at the Shriners. He finished seventh last year in his debut at the KLGCC-version of the CIMB. He was also T16 back in 2012 on the Mines course. He’s not a sexy name

Robert Streb | $8,200 – Streb is a scorer (especially on par 4s) as he finished 22nd in BBPct last year and 23rd in GIR. He missed the cut at the season opener – the Frys.com Open. He makes his debut at the CIMB and has a profile to work.

Kevin Kisner | $8,100 – Kisner’s profile doesn’t look great (119th in BBPct and 95th in GIR) as he makes his debut at the CIMB. He opened the season with a T25 at the Shriners last week which was good to see after finishing at 18-over in the Tour Championship.

Brendan Steele | $8,000 – Steele finished T25 in his only appearance at the CIMB in 2014. He started off well this season with a T17 at the Frys, but missed the cut last week at the Shriners. His profile looks like he could build on that T25 from two years ago. He finished 14th in BBPct (34th in par 5 scoring) and 40th in GIR.

Cameron Tringale | $8,000 – Tringale’s only trip here ended with a 73rd place finish (there are only 78 golfers), so that’s not great. And his profile doesn’t look like it will work (138th in BBPct and 137th in GIR). However, he finished the PGA Tour season with a T7 at the BMW Championship and carried that solid form over with a T64 at the Frys and a T2 last week. If you believe in his form, he’s an option this week.

Nick Watney | $7,900 – I may be falling in deep like with Watney. His current form is solid as he’s made the cut in his first two tournaments of the season including a T11 last week. He’s also played here previously. It was two years ago and put up a T35. He also won this tourney back in 2012 (on a different course) so perhaps he likes Malaysia?

Brendon de Jonge | $7,900 – A T13 at the Shriners last week puts de Jonge on the map this week. His profile also works (58th in BBPct and 62nd in GIR last year). He’s played in Malaysia at the CIMB four times and the two times he’s played here he put up a T53 and a T13 (last year) so perhaps he’s gotten this course figured out. With no cut, de Jonge is a fun option this week.

Keegan Bradley | $7,900 – Bradley finished tenth at the CIMB Classic in his only start at this course two years ago. He finished sixth in par 5 scoring last year, 35th in BBPct and 60th in GIR las year so the profile works. Bradley started his season off poorly with a missed cut at the Shriners last week, so he may be low-owned.

Daniel Summerhays | $7,800 – I never seem to get Summerhays correct, so I might advise you to do your own research on him. He’s made the cut in the first two tournaments of the PGA season and had two top 10 finishes in the FedEx Cup playoffs. He teed it up at the CIMB two years ago and finished T53. But, as we’ve seen with many players, they generally improve the second time around this course. I’m going to recommend (based on form and his 61 st in BBPct) him which means he’ll probably withdraw.

Scott Hend | $7,700 – Hend is the most interesting man in the world…or at least on the Asian Tour. He’s a long driver of the ball (second in distance on the Asian Tour) with some accuracy issues. However, he’s done well at this course (three top 20s in his last four trips to the Malaysian Open). His only CIMB start here ended with a T40 two years ago. His season on the Asian Tour has been great. He has finished in the top five three times this season including a win.

Jason Dufner | $7,600 – Duff man! Buff man! Dufner was T26 here last year in his first trip to this course. He played two other times at the CIMB and was T10 and T16. So, perhaps he likes the weather. And the typhoid. He missed the cut at the Shriners, but has a profile that works as he was 74th in BBPct and 24th in GIR. I like his work here in the past and he’ll be a nice pivot in GPPs.

Russell Knox | $7,500 – Knox isn’t a huge scorer (73rd in BBPct), but gets to the green quite well (seventh in GIR). He debuts at the CIMB this week and missed the cut and has a T38 in the first two tourneys of the season.

Ben Martin | $7,400 – Martin has a profile that can work here as he finished 40th in BBPct and 34th in GIR. He put up a T25 last week at the Shriners, but that’s a course he’s done quite well at so take it with a grain of salt.

Charles Howell III | $7,300 – Howell III finished T7 in his only start here in 2014. He started the new season off well with a T17 at the Frys, then stumbled to a 70th place finish last week at the Shriners. He’s struggled on Sundays so far this year with his worst round in each tournament occurring on Sunday. He’s not a scorer (153rd in BBPct last year), but 38th in GIR. So, he can get in scoring position and has shown the ability to play well here.

Matt Jones | $7,300 – The Aussie has played here the last two years and is one of the few golfers who didn’t improve year over year. He debuted with a T40 and then backed up a bit to a T52 last year. He finished 18th in par 5 scoring (and 15th in BBPct overall) so he can score. And this is a course that he could overpower so don’t ignore him this week.

Kevin Chappell | $7,300 – Chappell finished 48th in BBPct last year, though a distant 103rd in GIR. He’s had two runs at the CIMB and finished top 25 each time (T25 and T13 last year). There is a lot to like here even if his form isn’t the greatest.

David Lingmerth | $7,300 – I like LIngmerth’s experience at this course even if the results haven’t been great (T64 and T39 the last two years). He’s struggled since his T12 at the PGA missing two of four cuts and not finishing better than T49. He finished last season at 65th in BBPct and 130th in GIR. I have a feeling about Lingmerth this week – put him in a lineup or two.

Ernie Els | $7,200 – Els finished T47 in 2014 at the CIMB Classic – his only venture to the course. He finished T27 at the Dunhill Links Championship in his last start on Tour. His profile doesn’t really work (139th in BBPct and 140th in GIR) so I don’t see a reason to roster him this week.

Marc Leishman | $7,200 – Leishman ended the 2014-15 season at 68th in BBPct and 113th in GIR. So, he may be able to score enough to make it work here at the CIMB. He’s also played here twice though neither finish was spectacular (T39 last year and T44 the year prior). He makes his season debut so perhaps he’s finally figured the course out.

Morgan Hoffmann | $7,200 – Hoffmann finished last season sitting in 13th place in par 5 scoring and he did most of his scoring there as he was 74th in BBPct overall. He stumbled down the stretch of the 2014-2015 PGA Tour season, but started this season off well with a T11 at the Shriners. He played the CIMB last year and cratered to a T61 and played the par 5s at just 1-under. Perhaps he’s learned something as the par 5 scoring is hard to ignore.

Cameron Smith | $7,200 – I’m getting back on the Smith train one more time even though he’s disappointed me this year. He’s missed the first two cuts of the year on the PGA Tour (and he’s a full PGA member now!). But, he finished T5 here last year and I hope that the return to the Tour where he made his name last year will kick start his game.

Chad Campbell | $7,100 – UNLV golfer! Ooops…that was last week. He finished 132nd in BBPct last year though a nice 35th in GIR. But, there isn’t much to go on with Campbell as his work last week could be easily tied to his course and area knowledge. Pass.

Rory Sabbatini | $7,100 – Sabbatini has played here twice. He struggled his first time out (T53), but seemed to learn his lesson as he put up a T8 last year. His is a profile that also should work here as he finished last year 37th in BBPct and 52nd in GIR. He missed the cut at the Frys but bounced back with a T25 at the Shriners. He’s a sneaky option down here near the bottom.

Jerry Kelly | $7,000 – Kelly finished the CIMB at T19 two years ago. Kelly started this season off with a T41 at the Frys. His profile looks OK as he ended up 50th in BBPct and 104th in GIR. He’s a steady player who will be underowned in a tournament like this because his value is usually in making the cut on a regular basis.

Stewart Cink | $7,000 – Cink finished T11 at the CIMB two years ago, but backed that up with a T56 last year. He did finish third on Tour in GIR, but 74th in BBPct. He was T56 in his PGA Tour debut this year at the Shriners. I just don’t see it for Cink this week.

David Hearn | $7,000 – Canadian. Finished T68 at the CIMB two years ago in his only trip. His profile is the reverse of Scott Piercy’s – 80th in BBPct, but 47th in GIR. I’d probably rather have Piercy’s profile, but I’m not sure it’s worth $1,400 more than Hearn. Hearn finished T25 last week at the Shriners.

Steven Bowditch | $7,000 – Bowditch looks tired. Or bad. Or something. He missed the cut at the Frys and came back with an 80th (yes, that’s correct) place finish last week at the Shriners. He played here last year and was T46, so maybe that’s something. His form is so bad it’s tough to roster him outside of contrarian GPPs.

Brian Harman | $7,000 – Lefthanded. Profile doesn’t work (106th in BBPct and 81st in GIR). Poor form (missed cut and T56 in the first two tourneys of the year). He did put up a T10 at this tourney on the Mines course in 2012, but there’s not much to go on here.

Alex Cejka | $6,900 – The greatest Czech/German golfer of our or anyone’s time. Back to back 66s put Cejka into a T2 at the Shriners last week. He debuts here this week, but I don’t see him contending. He’s just too inconsistent even with that fine T2 last week.

Spencer Levin | $6,900 – Levin finished 23rd in his only trip to the CIMB, but it was on the Mines course. He’s made the cut in the first two PGA tour stops this season with his T25 the best of the two. His 45th spot last year in GIR gives him chances to score, but he didn’t last year (161 st in BBPCt).

Ryo Ishikawa | $6,900 – I like Ryo this week as he finished T26 in his debut at the CIMB last year. He started off well last week with an opening round 65, but faded to a T50 by the time the weekend was done. Ryo finished at 56 th in BBPct last year (though 92 nd in GIR). I don’t know…call it a hunch about him.

Padraig Harrington | $6,800 – Paddy makes his tournament and PGA season debut this week. He’s been playing in Europe since missing the cut at the Barclays. He hasn’t shown much with his best finish a T31 at the Portugal Masters. I don’t see a lot of reasons to roster him this week.

Kyle Reifers | $6,800 – Had a nice T6 at the Frys to open the new PGA season. But, his profile screams stay away (124th in BBPct and 72nd in GIR) and let him make his debut here in peace. Well, maybe not screams, but loudly suggests.

Carlos Ortiz | $6,800 – Ortiz has the scoring acumen (46th in BBPct, T8 in par 5 scoring) to succeed in Malaysia. And he played here last year (though he finished a disappointing T65) so he’s sseen the course previously. He opened the season with a T32 at the Frys.

Hudson Swafford | $6,800 – Swafford shows up consistently on statistics screens for just about every tournament. And this week is no different. His profile works (23rd in BBPct and 39th in GIR). He debuts at the tournament this week so if you trust the profile, he’s a solid play.

Scott Pinckney | $6,800 – 100th in BBPct last year and 57th in GIR. He’s made the cut in the first two PGA tournaments of the season, but nothing better than T56. No thanks.

Prayad Marksaeng | $6,700 – Marksaeng is a regular at the Malaysian Open where he’s started 17 times with four top 10 finishes though none since 2009. Indeed, he missed the cut this year at the Malaysian Open. He was T44 two years ago at the CIMB. He sits fourth in stroke average on the Asian Tour and did have a win at the Queen’s Cup this year. The veteran makes an interesting punt play in a stars and scrubs lineup.

Ben Crane | $6,700 – Crane succeeded at this tournament when it wasn’t played at the KLGCC including a win in 2010. He hasn’t played this tournament since 2012 and his profile is horrific (173rd in BBPct and 160th in GIR). He was DQ’d last week, but did have a T32 at the Frys to open the season. You roster him based on the belief that if you’ve seen one course in Malaysia, you’ve seen them all.

Paul Peterson | $6,700 – Peterson saw this course earlier this year as he played at the Maybank Malaysian Open finished T5. He’s also sits 13th in stroke average on the Asian Tour and ninth in GIR so he’s got an interesting profile that should work here. The American is an anomaly on the Asian Tour.

Jason Gore | $6,600 – Gooooooooooone! Gooooooooooooooooooooone! No, no, no Gore. Jason Gore. Much better. Gore finished last year at 50th in BBPct and 61st in GIR so that could work here. He debuts here and comes in off a 73rd finish at the Frys. He’s a flyer at best.

Greg Owen | $6,600 – Owen has made the cut in the first two tourneys of the year (T74 at the Frys, T43 at the Shriners). He makes his debut here and his 20th spot in GIR gives him hope. The problem is he just doesn’t score enough (156th in BBPct) so I’ll pass.

Pat Perez | $6,600 – He’s missed the cut in the first two tournaments of the year. He finished T33 at this tournament last year and ended 2015 18th in BBPct and 48th in GIR on the PGA Tour. So, his profile works, but his form is terrible.

Nick Taylor | $6,600 – Another debutant this week at the tourney, Taylor finished T25 at last week’s Shriners tournament. He finished last year at a reasonable 77th in BBPct (90th in par 5 scoring). He might be worth a GPP flyer this week.

Andrew Dodt | $6,600 – Dodt hasn’t played this course for the CIMB, but he’s a regular at the Malaysian Open. He’s made the cut the last three years at the Open with a T51, T33 and T36 (last year). So, it’s not great, but he’s got experience. And a profile – he’s third on the Asian Tour in stroke average, third in the Order of Merit, and has a win this year at the Thailand Classic (in February). His work on the European Tour hasn’t been quite as neat, but he did finish T18 at the Hong Kong Open last week and closed with a 66 on Sunday.

Colt Knost | $6,600 – Makes his debut at the CIMB this week. He’s made the cut in both tourneys to start the PGA season but doesn’t have much to show for it. He was 79th in BBPct and 63rd in GIR so he has some tools to work with.

James Hahn | $6,600 – Khaaaaaaaaaaaan! Ooops, no not again. Hahn finished 62nd in par 5 scoring (and 85 th in BBPct overall) so he can score. He finished T41 at the Frys to open the year and debuted at the CIMB to a T56. He has some parts that could make it work this week.

Danny Chia | $6,500 – Finished fourth at the SapuraKencana National Qualifier which was played on KLGCC in early August of this year. He finished T65 at the CIMB last year. He played the Malaysian Open 17 times without a top 10 though he was T25 earlier this year. He also picked up a win this year at the Mercuries Taiwan Masters. Could be a flyer for the “hometown” man.

Scott Brown | $6,500 – Brown played here two years ago and finished 72nd. His first two tourneys this year were T73 and missed cut. Pass.

S.S.P. Chowrasia | $6,500 – I prefer to call him by his given name – Shiv Shankar Prasad Chowrasia. Or sometimes his nickname “Chipputtsia” given to him for his wizardry around the green. Whatever you call him, he’s had some recent success at this course with a tenth place finish at the Malaysian Open earlier this year and a T33 the previous year. He’s also currently 12th on the Asian Tour in stroke average and 19th in average number of birdies. Hmm…

Jim Herman | $6,500 – Herman finished second in GIR, but like Greg Owen struggles to score (105th in BBPct). He comes in playing poorly putting up a 72nd at the Frys and missing the cut last week at the Shriners so I don’t have a lot of hope for his debut here.

Troy Merritt | $6,500 – Finished T56 here last year. Has missed the first two cuts of the PGA Tour season. Next.

Zac Blair | $6,500 – Makes his debut here. Has missed the first two cuts of the PGA Tour season. Next.

Jon Curran | $6,500 – Makes his debut here. Has missed the first two cuts of the PGA Tour season. Next.

Chesson Hadley | $6,500 – Ok, I could go on like that with Hadley, but he has a glimmer of hope in that he made the cut last week (T62), finished 2014-15 at 40th in BBPct last year. Teed it up at the CIMB last year and put up a T65. See, I said a glimmer of a sliver of hope.

Richard T. Lee | $6,500 – Lee has played this course twice at the Malaysian Open and had a T18 in 2014 and a T5 earlier this year. That history gives me confidence in rostering him in some GPPs and even a couple of cash games.

Matt Every | $6,400 – Pass. He withdrew last week with no explanation.

Mardan Mamat | $6,300 – He is seventh on the Asian Tour in average birdies per round, but that’s about it. He did win earlier this season in Bangladesh. Also, he’s married and has five children.

John Peterson | $6,300 – Peterson debuts here. He’s from Fort Worth, Texas and lives in Baton Rouge, Louisiana so he’s used to stormy, hot weather which should be quite useful this week. However, he finished last season at 155th in BBPct and 41st in GIR. He missed the cut at the Frys. So, unless you think he’ll enjoy the weather (and typhoid), pass.

Ben Leong | $6,200 – Qualified by winning the SapuraKencana National Qualifier which was played on KLGCC (if you recall). Happens to be Malaysian. Has one career win (2008) on the Asian Tour. Played his college golf at UCF.

Arie Irawan | $6,200 – I really dig her music, but I’m not sure she’s much of a golfer. He missed the cut at the Malaysian Open this year in his debut at the course.

Scoring Notes: Ties for a finishing position will not reduce or average down points. For example, if 2 golfers tie for 3rd place, each will receive the 18 fantasy points for the 3rd place finish result. Playoff Holes will not count towards final scoring, with the exception of the “finishing position” scoring. For example, the golfer who wins the tournament will receive the sole award of 1st place points, but will not accrue points for their scoring result in the individual playoff holes.

Player Lock Notes: All golfers lock at the time the first golfer tees off on day 1 of an event.
