Billy Horschel Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections
Sneaky Upside
I absolutely love Horschel in tournaments this week. His last two events have both seen him end up missing the cut in heartbreaking fashion, and that eats at DFS players. We’re all bitter at the close missed cuts, when in reality it’s a much worse sign when golfers are missing cuts by several strokes. Welcome to the world of psychology. In any case, Muirfield Village sets up better for Horschel’s game than some of the other venues we have seen since the restart. Horschel often plays better on tougher tracks, and I would doubt we see a four-under or five-under cut line this week. Horschel finished 9th at last year’s Memorial Tournament on this course, and I expect a bounce-back week. We also get the nice bonus that will come from him being cheaper to roster and also checking in with lower ownership. He ranks 42nd on Tour in ball striking, and there is no doubt that I will definitely be overweight in GPP builds.
Bounce-Back Value Play
I don't expect Horschel to be very popular this week, even though he might be the safest value play on the board. There aren't any true punts that I feel great about. While Harry Higgs, Vaughn Taylor, Ryan Moore, and Matthew NeSmith all rate out well for me, they all come with red flags. Meanwhile, Horschel is a cut-maker with upside. Yes, he missed the cut last week, but it was on the number. Even with that, he's made 14 of his last 17 cuts on tour with six top 10 finishes during that stretch. He can gain strokes in all facets of his game, so don't let one missed cut cloud your judgment.
This Gator Can Hunt Away from Home
Horschel is known as a Bermuda grass specialist, but that’s a narrative that has very little weight. In fact, his last 10 top 10 finishes have all come outside of Florida and his putting splits between Bermuda and Bentgrass are negligible. His last win actually came in Texas and he has good course history here, posting finishes of T19 (2019) and T34 (2017) in his last two appearances. He’s also a golfer that can gain strokes in all facets of his game, which is nice to have. When one part of his game isn’t firing, the others can make up for it. That’s not the case with most ball strikers or short-game specialists.
Billy Horschel officially parts ways with PXG
In somewhat of a surprise move Billy Horschel has parted ways with the club company PXG. News of this split first surfaced at last week's Honda Classic as Horschel was spotted wearing a Polo hat instead of his usual PXG hat. As a two time winner with PXG clubs in his bag, Horschel was easily one of the biggest names on staff for the company. Horschel confirmed via social that he is still playing PXG clubs for now as he remains a free agent. PXG also confirmed that newly signed player Chez Reavie has also parted ways with the company. Reavie had struggled to play well early this season. There is no news as of yet to what changes if any were made to Reavie's bag.
Weather update for The Honda Classic
Weather is always something you have to pay attention to at PGA National. The already hard course layout often is made much harder when the wind blows. Kevin Roth's weather report is up in the main forum, and it appears that we could have a slight weather draw over the first two rounds of play. Thursday morning golfers will have to deal with potential sustained wind speeds of 15 mph. Golfers who tee off later on Thursday will still have some wind to deal with but as players get later in the day the winds could decrease to as little as 5mph. Both waves could have strong gusts, but for now, it looks like there is a slight predicted edge to the golfers who play later on Thursday. Friday looks to have the same weather pattern, but according to Roth the difference between the two waves will be very small or even the same. While it does not sound like you should avoid any gofers from either wave, it's not a bad idea to stack some lineups with players in the same wave in case of a strong weather draw on Thursday.
Trending Ball Striking and Elite Course History
It's been a while since Horschel has made my list of official picks, but here we are. Even though he missed the cut at the Open Championship, that was probably a bonus. He doesn't have a great links track record to begin with and the missed cut allowed him to get back to the states a couple days earlier than most. He has gained strokes off the tee and on approach in six straight events stateside and has one of the best track records of any golfer in the field at TPC Southwind. He has four top 10 finishes here in his last five tries.
Great Fit On A Tough Track
I am generally not a Horschel fan, so it really pains me to list him here. However, Horschel checks in as my favorite point per dollar option on the board. He always thrives in events where scoring is more of a grind, and he has a solid history here with four top 11 finishes over the last seven editions, including three of the last four. He hasn’t missed a cut this season and doesn’t carry the massive price tags of the likes of Fowler and Kuchar. He ranks inside the top quarter of this field in scrambling and bogey avoidance, and he carries a nice combination of safety and upside at this event.
Gator Power
Horschel is a Florida native who is always capable of thriving during this time of year, and he’s a notoriously streaky player. The good news is that he actually comes into this stretch with some good form, as he hasn’t missed a cut since last summer. He had logged back to back top ten finishes at this event prior to a missed cut last year, and he currently ranks inside the top five on the PGA Tour in ball striking right now. Almost every check box is positive with him at the moment. While I am by no means a Horschel homer, he is one of my favorite options on the entire board at his current salary level.
Sneaky Upside After a Strong Showing
Horschel is one of those golfers that I’m rarely on the right side of. When I play him, he misses the cut. When I fade him, he tends to perform well. Something tells me that it’s more of a coincidence than the universe conspiring against me. He posted a solid T8 finish at Torrey Pines last week and he looked good in all facets of his game. While he doesn’t have any amazing finishes at this event, he’s made four straight cuts and is currently playing with a lot of confidence. We typically don’t see the good form Horschel until we get into the Florida stretch. He’s a safe play with upside, which is never bad in DFS when our ultimate goal is to get as many golfers through the cut as possible.
Billy Horschel continues to gain steam
If you have not done so yet take the time to check out our projected ownership feature. All of our premium golf offerings are free this week and projected ownership is a great way to get a feel for what players are trending in terms of popularity. Fresh off one a strong finish to the 2018 season, Billy Horschel is a player gaining a ton of interest in the first event of the season. As one of the biggest gainers in projected ownership, Horschel is a great source of value for any format this week. Playing in this event for the 4th time and priced down due to the level of talent in the field, Horschel makes sense in what is shaping up to be a stars and scrubs roster building week. The greens at Kapalua are some of the biggest on tour, and Horschel grew up putting on this style of Bermuda so he should feel right at home in terms of figuring out the putting surfaces this week.
