Matt Gannon touted hometown Scot Connor Syme in the low-6K range. Syme recently grabbed a DP World Tour win and, per Gannon, profiles as ‘old-school Morikawa’—elite with his mid-irons yet a streaky putter. Over the last 12 rounds Syme ranks top-10 in strokes-gained approach on the Euro circuit. Gannon thinks Syme’s familiarity with links wind, combined with a crowd boost, could propel him to another surprise top-20 while keeping salary and ownership minimal.

Sia Nejad flagged Connor Syme as his favorite sub-$7K dart on DraftKings. Syme has quietly cashed in four of his last five starts on the DP World Tour and actually won the Dutch Open six weeks ago, proof the recent form spike is real. More important for Nejad, Syme finished T-15 at the Renaissance Club last year and has never missed the cut in three Scottish Open appearances, a resume that is almost unheard-of in this pricing zone. With Syme’s salary sitting at $6,700 and early ownership projections under three percent, Nejad thinks the home-soil narrative plus reliable cut-making record make him the ideal salary saver to unlock Scheffler- or McIlroy-anchored builds without eating chalk.

Kim added home Scotsman Connor Syme at 200-1 with twelve places. Syme grew up playing Renaissance Club, has never missed the cut here, and posted a career-best T-15 last year. He arrives off a recent DP World Tour victory and should feel zero travel adjustment, unlike many PGA Tour regulars. Kim believes deep course knowledge and crowd support give Syme far more win equity than the triple-digit price implies, especially with expanded each-way coverage down to 12th place.

Martin Matthews flagged Scotsman Connor Syme as a sneaky each-way at 250-1 with 10 places. Syme earned his first DP World Tour win two starts ago and now tees it up on home turf where he finished T15 last year. The 29-year-old is not yet exempt for The Open, and three spots go to the highest non-qualified finishers this week, giving Syme enormous incentive. Matthews expects the Renaissance’s generous fairways and calm forecast to accentuate Syme’s accurate irons while minimizing his mediocre around-the-green play. Even if winning is a long shot, a Sunday ‘back-door’ top-10 would cash the place portion and potentially punch his Open ticket—exactly the upside Matthews wants in deep-odds outrights and DFS punt pool.

Eric Polzin suggested sprinkling Connor Syme into MME builds at roughly 3–5% ownership. Syme recently won on the DP World Tour and carries local-course familiarity, giving him legitimate spike-week potential even though DP regulars tend to be volatile. Polzin cautioned that Syme’s week-to-week consistency is shaky, but argued that the upside is worth a small exposure as a leverage play, especially in large-field GPPs where a home-soil narrative combined with recent confidence could pay off handsomely if Syme catches a hot putter.
