Liam Murphy endorses Akshay Bhatia as an intriguing DFS option for The Masters due to his left-handed swing. Augusta's layout notably favors left-handed golfers because of hole designs and the nature of challenging approach shots. He points to examples like hole 13, where lefties naturally shape shots right-to-left, making recovery shots easier from common trouble spots like the pine straw. This structural advantage for left-handed golfers at Augusta is specifically why Murphy believes Bhatia represents an inviting sleeper play in DFS.

Liam Murphy feels that Scottie Scheffler is less dominant heading into this year's Masters, creating opportunities for other players. Murphy noted that Scheffler has been playing at his 'B-plus' game level this year rather than at peak form. While Scheffler’s current level of play still positions him as one of the best, it's a significant step back from the 'unbeatable' form he displayed previously. Murphy believes this less dominant form opens the door for other elite golfers like Rory McIlroy or Bryson DeChambeau to win by simply being consistently good rather than needing to deliver historically exceptional performances. Murphy indicated this broader opportunity makes betting markets more wide open than last year.

Liam Murphy warned against backing Max Homa at this year's Masters citing instability in his personal setup. Murphy detailed that Homa recently lost his caddy, who left him for a reportedly better opportunity with Justin Thomas. This disruption could negatively impact Homa's mental game and course management, especially at a high-pressure event like Augusta— factors crucial to performing well in a major. Murphy suggests this instability is a strong enough concern that DFS players and bettors might want to steer clear of wagering on Homa.

Liam Murphy likes Viktor Hovland as an undervalued play at The Masters despite widespread criticism about his scrambling and short game— a key factor at Augusta. Murphy acknowledged concerns about Hovland's short game, which is known to be below average relative to other elite players, and that Augusta is specifically challenging for those who struggle around the greens. However, Murphy highlighted recent positive changes, noting Viktor's recent switch in drivers, fresh off a first-place finish, and observed his sentiment is disproportionately negative versus other highly ranked players, making him an attractive contrarian pick.
