Jon Rahm — Top 10 finish

Top 10 · +115 · DraftKings

Rahm's last 8 starts on courses with >7,400 yards: 4 top-10s, 2 top-25s. This week's setup matches that profile. +115 is value vs. +100 fair. Illustrative line — verify before placing.

Course is long, demanding off the tee, with firm greens — Rahm's exact profile. Strokes-gained off-the-tee is the highest-correlation stat at this venue. Rahm is top 5 in SG: OTT over the last 50 rounds.
