Despite a cut on the number last week, Murray returned to Andrew Putnam at 80-1 outright (0.15 units) and +300 for a top-20. Putnam ranks 9th in driving accuracy and 21st in approach in this field across the past 12 months. Murray argued that Sedgefield’s shorter setup amplifies those strengths and minimizes Putnam’s lack of pop, making him an ideal course-fit rebound candidate.

Larry sees Andrew Putnam as the classic post-injury mis-price. Putnam withdrew from the John Deere with a minor issue and has since logged two quiet results on courses that don’t fit his game, allowing his outright number to drift to 90-1. Pre-WD, Putnam ranked top-25 on Tour in fairways gained and was gaining over a half-stroke per round with the putter—two traits that historically dominate Wyndham. Larry argues that if the WD never happened books would have him around 60-1, so bettors are being paid a 30-point premium for what appears to be a fully healed player. He expects the combination of elite bermuda putting and target-golf accuracy to put Putnam firmly in Sunday contention.

Derek Farnsworth said Wyndham “should be a great week for Andrew Putnam” because the course accentuates Putnam’s strengths: accurate driving, quality iron play, and elite Bermuda putting. With 6 % weight on driving accuracy and 10 % on putting in Farnsworth’s model, Putnam’s skill set earns him a top-tier rating despite a mid-range salary. Farnsworth recommends Putnam for both cash games and single-entry GPPs on the shorter par-70 layout where distance is de-emphasized.

After running his custom weighted model (20% SG:Total last 36, 10% driving accuracy, 10% Bermuda putting, 15% SG:Par-3, 15% Wyndham history, 10% birdie or better, etc.), Rick Gehman revealed that Andrew Putnam landed in the No. 1 spot. Putnam ranks 1st in par-3 scoring, 3rd in both driving accuracy and fairways gained, and is a slight positive putter on Bermuda. Although not a bomber, Gehman emphasized that Sedgefield’s layout minimizes distance advantage while heavily rewarding Putnam’s strengths. With a solid if unspectacular recent form line and a mid-7K salary that will likely keep ownership in check, Gehman considers Putnam cash-viable and a strong single-entry anchor for DFS players building around fairway-finders.

Reynolds added Andrew Putnam at 70-to-1, noting Putnam has finished inside the top-20 in his last two trips to the 3M Open and enters off an 11th at Barracuda, 8th in Detroit, and 6th in Canada. While not a bomber, Putnam’s tidy fairway-first game and red-hot wedges neutralize the course’s length when scores get super low. Reynolds will back him in outright and placement markets, leaning on consistent summer form and proven comfort at TPC Twin Cities.

Jim Sannes slotted Andrew Putnam into his core at $8,400, stressing that Twin Cities deemphasizes driving power— Putnam’s biggest flaw. The veteran ranks top-25 in both irons and short game over his last 50 rounds and has already finished 11th and 19th in two career 3M appearances. Sannes noted that betting markets steamed Putnam’s outright price too far, but the DFS salary never moved, creating value. With birdies required to contend, Putnam’s 77th-percentile make rate inside 15 feet gives him a sneaky ceiling, and his reliable wedge play should keep blow-up holes off the card. Sannes views him as an ideal second or third golfer in balanced builds.

Kannon grabbed Andrew Putnam at 70-1 citing a balanced skill set and encouraging course history. Putnam is 6th on Tour in Driving Accuracy and 15th in SG: Putting, weapons on water-guarded greens. Over the last 24 rounds he’s 28th in SG: Approach and an impressive 6th on par-4s measuring 350-400 yards, a key yardage at TPC Twin Cities. He owns finishes of 19th and 11th here, took 11th at PGA National in March and was 11th last week at the Barracuda (site of his lone Tour win in 2018). With two top-8s in June, the form and fit justify an outright sprinkle and conservative top-20 exposure.

Kenny Kim grabbed Andrew Putnam at 100-1 with eight places, noting Putnam popped 18th in his model despite the triple-digit number. Putnam brings two top-11 finishes in his last three starts and owns back-to-back top-20s at the 3M. Kim emphasized Putnam’s elite Bentgrass putting (gains in seven of his last eight on the surface), 8th-best good-drive percentage in the field, and sneaky long-iron strength—top-15 from 175-200 yards over the past 24 rounds. Because TPC Twin Cities punishes big misses more than raw distance, Kim values Putnam’s "no big mistakes" profile and sees legitimate top-5 equity if the putter heats up. At 100-1, he labeled the bet "too much value to pass" in a volatile birdie-fest environment.

Eric Polzin called Andrew Putnam a stone-cold value, labeling the sub-$8K salary a DraftKings pricing error. Putnam has three top-11 finishes in his last five starts—8th at Rocket Mortgage, 6th at RBC Canadian and 11th at Barracuda—after an injury-related WD at John Deere. His Twin Cities resume is rock solid as well (19th and 11th the past two years). Statistically he checks every box Polzin targets: 15th in strokes-gained approach, 35th ball-striking, 21st on water-heavy tracks and top-10 overall in the custom model, plus 8th on the specialist index. He has made the cut in 65% of his last 20 starts versus implied odds of 61%. Books are confused, hanging everything from 40-to-1 (BetOnline) to 80-to-1 (Bovada); Polzin is scooping the longest number and locking Putnam into both cash and GPP lineups as a core play with legitimate outright juice.

Using his custom regression model for the last 24 rounds, Gehman identified Andrew Putnam as the best statistical fit at TPC Twin Cities. Putnam pairs positive approach play with elite putting—exactly the scoring combo the course rewards, especially inside ten feet where birdie looks are plentiful. Ranking first ahead of bigger names like Sam Burns, Putnam profiles as a value core piece for balanced builds and single-entry GPPs.

Cody Williams is rolling the dice on Andrew Putnam at +7500. Williams emphasized Putnam’s precision approach game—Top 35 in SG: Approach over his last 24 rounds and 16th in proximity from 100-150 yards—plus elite accuracy (5th in Good Drive Rate) and Bentgrass putting (28th in SG: Putting on Bent). On a course where irons and putting rule, Williams believes that balanced profile gives Putnam a real path to an upset victory at huge odds.

Eric Polzin elevated Andrew Putnam to core-play status strictly on price and Vegas respect. Putnam rates fourth in strokes-gained stat fit and 18th in his specialist model while carrying top-10 recent finishes (8th last week, 6th the week before, plus a 15th three starts back). Books are split, hanging 70-1 at FanDuel and PointsBet versus only 45-1 at BetMGM—disparity Polzin reads as a market inefficiency worth attacking. Admittedly the course history stinks (one made cut and a 41st in three John Deere attempts), but Putnam’s normally reliable cut-making profile, elite wedge game, and surging form convince Polzin the low-7K DraftKings tag is too soft. He recommends 10–15% GPP exposure, cash consideration if salary is tight, and grabbing the longer 70-1 outright before it disappears.

Eric Polzin flagged Andrew Putnam as the week’s biggest betting mis-price, urging listeners to scoop the 90-to-1 outright hanging at BetMGM and Unibet. Putnam sits 20th in the Nine-to-Five overall model, owns recent finishes of 6th and 44th at Colonial, and has made every cut in his last six starts. Polzin noted the American gains most of his strokes with a streaky putter—over four strokes putting twice in his last five events—and Detroit’s benign setup historically rewards hot putters. While Putnam is merely average in the Donald Ross specialist filter, his balanced stat sheet and prior PGA Tour win give enough upside to justify the ticket. Polzin would also consider a top-20 wager but labeled the outright the primary value.

Farnsworth 'loves' Andrew Putnam as a sub-$7K salary saver. Putnam is accurate off the tee and grades above average in every other strokes-gained bucket, a rare all-around skillset at this price. Although his approaches will come from slightly farther back, Farnsworth expects Putnam’s fairway positioning and reliable putter to secure the weekend and provide top-20 upside on a course where bogey avoidance (6% weighting) is crucial.

Geoff Ulrich said Andrew Putnam is one of his favorite tournament plays in the $7K range on DraftKings. Ulrich pointed out that Putnam has been gaining strokes across the bag for a month, coughing up just a single blow-up round in each of his last few starts that masks otherwise steady form. At Colonial’s positional setup Ulrich expects accuracy and wedges to matter more than pure distance, a profile that suits Putnam’s tidy tee-to-green game. Slotting the Washington State product alongside Scottie Scheffler in balanced builds lets gamers avoid dipping below $7K more than once, a construction Ulrich believes will be under-owned because most players either jam Daniel Berger as a second stud or punt multiple $6K names. Ulrich projected a realistic top-20 ceiling for Putnam and called him “the kind of guy who keeps Scheffler lineups alive going into the weekend.”

Kenny Kim crowned Andrew Putnam his "Hustler Play of the Week" at $6,700, projecting ownership below 5 %. Putnam ranks 14th in strokes-gained approach and 9th in proximity from 150-175 yards over the last 24 rounds, while also sitting top-20 in both around-the-green play and par-4 scoring. Colonial course history sweetens the pot: four top-30 finishes—including a 3rd and a T12—across seven starts. Putnam is coming off a T15 at the CJ Cup and has two top-15 results in his last five events, signaling form is catching up to fit. Kim slotted him into both his cash lineup and GPP stacks with Lucas Glover, banking on the steady wedges and bentgrass putting to pay off the value price.

Brandon Gdula likes Andrew Putnam as a lower-priced DFS option at $8,500. Putnam ranks highly (sixth over his past 50 rounds) in strokes gained approach through putting—a crucial skill for success at TPC San Antonio. Gdula finds the golfer consistently matches the course demands well, potentially providing a stable floor for DFS lineups even though his overall upside may be somewhat capped compared to flashier options.

Kenny Kim's Hustler Play of the Week is Andrew Putnam, primarily due to his historically strong course performance at Valero Texas Open despite two recent missed cuts. Kenny clarified those missed cuts occurred at events (Players Championship and Valspar) where Putnam historically struggles. Highlighting Putnam’s strengths in good drive percentage, iron play from key yardages (150-200 yards), and past proven results at this specific course, Kim expects his ownership to remain below double digits, therefore representing significant DFS leverage potential.

Eric Polzin identified Andrew Putnam as a solid DFS choice based on his continually improving tournament results at this event, moving from a missed cut to finishes of 31st, 28th, and finally 14th last year. Although his recent form rank (52nd) is a drawback, Putnam's top 10 specialist rank and solid consistency (24th stat fit, 28th overall model rank) offer relatively safe appeal in DFS lineups.

Pat Mayo notes Andrew Putnam possesses an attractive profile for the Valero Texas Open, ranking ninth in good drives gained. Mayo mentioned Putnam excels broadly in required metrics for TPC San Antonio, specifically praising his consistent approach play. While acknowledging Putnam's weaknesses in long par-3 performance and suboptimal par-5 scoring, Mayo views Putnam's overall solid metrics—including his approach game accuracy and reliable tee ball—as making him a worthwhile fantasy and betting consideration this week.
