August 15, 2024 2:10 am EDT
This week, Draftkings presents Golf fans with the 2024 Women’s Scottish Open. Let’s take a look at this week’s event from a DFS perspective.
Before I dive into my DFS player selections for the 2024 Women’s Scottish Open let’s review the golf course the field will play and the key player statistics that I think are the most vital to a golfer’s success at this week’s LPGA Tour event.
Where will the Women’s Scottish Open be played?
The 2024 Women’s Scottish Open will be played at the Dundonald Links in Ayrshire, Scotland. The Golf course is a par 72 that measures approximately 6,584 yards.
Celine Boutier won the 2023 Women’s Scottish Open with a cumulative four round score of 15 under par.
Will the Women’s Scottish Open have a traditional cut after two rounds?
The Women’s Scottish Open will have a field of 144 competitors to start the tournament on Thursday. This event will have a cut after the completion of the first two rounds. The top 65 golfers and ties will make the cut.
2024 Women’s Scottish Open Key Player Statistics
- Strokes Gained: Approach
- Bogey Avoidance
- Driving Distance
- GIR (greens in regulation)
- Strokes Gained: Around the Green
- Birdie of Better Percentage
I wanted to emphasize that the purpose of this article is not to provide an exact DFS lineup.
Having stated that, this article will provide multiple player options in an effort to assist the reader in generating a unique lineup that will hopefully have the potential to win a DraftKings GPP (guaranteed prize pool) contest!
Women’s Scottish Open Draftkings DFS Picks
Ally Ewing $10,300
Ally Ewing arrives at this week’s tournament on the heels of seven consecutive top 25 finishes on the LPGA Tour, including an impressive third-place result at the 2024 United States Women’s Open. I love Ally Ewing’s chances of posting another quality result in Scotland this week.
Jenny Shin $8,000
Jenny Shin has accumulated seven top 30 finishes in her last eight events played on the LPGA Tour, including a ninth-place result at the 2024 ShopRite LPGA Classic in June.
Due to Jenny Shin’s impressive ninth-place finish at the 2024 ShopRite LPGA Classic I decided to take a hard look at the relevant player statistics for the tournament to see how Shin fared relative to the field.
Upon the completion of four rounds of comPetitive play at the 2024 ShopRite LPGA Classic, in relation to the field, Jenny Shin ranked eighth in driving distance (272.1 yards), third in strokes gained approach (2.060), and 14th in strokes gained tee to green (1.863).
Hye Jin Choi $7,800
The talented South Korean arrives at this week’s event on the heels of three consecutive top 20 finishes on the LPGA Tour, including an impressive seventh place result at last week’s 2024 Amundi Evian Championship.
Hye Jin Choi also checks the box for me when it comes to key player statistics. Choi is currently ranked 12th in GIR (greens in regulation-71.39%), tenth in total birdies made (208), and 21st in total rounds under par (26).
Additionally, Choi finished 11th at the 2023 Women’s Scottish Open.
Ashleigh Buhai $7,400
Ashleigh Buhai has accumulated three top 21 finishes in her last seven tournaments played on the LPGA Tour, including a 12th place finish at the 2024 ShopRite LPGA Classic in June.
In addition to her recent quality play on the LPGA Tour, Ashleigh Buhai finished 13th at last week’s 2024 Women’s Olympic Golf tournament in Paris, France.
Additional Golfers I like to play well this week (Draftkings price noted): Rose Zhang $10,100: Ayaka Furue $10,700: Esther Henseleit $7,900: Sarah Schmelzel $7,300: Aditi Ashok $7,200: GeMMA Dryburgh $7,100.
