Eric Polzin highlighted David Skinns as another viable sub-$7k punt. Skins has four consecutive made cuts and two top-10 finishes during that span. Polzin noted that at this salary all he needs is a made cut; Skinns’ past success at this event plus recent form give him a reasonable path, making him a solid value piece for stars-and-scrubs roster builds.

Brown rounded out his card with David Skinns at a huge number, noting the Englishman cracked the top-20 in every version of his model despite mediocre accuracy. Skinns ranks 74th in good-drive percentage and 84th in total driving, yet still grades eighth in opportunities gained—proof he piles up birdie looks when he does find short grass. Brown emphasized that TPC Twin Cities’ massive fairways and four reachable par-5s mitigate Skinns’ biggest weakness, while the price gives bettors room for volatility. If Skinns keeps it out of the 27 water hazards, Brown believes the combination of elite birdie creation and long odds makes him one of the week’s most attractive lottery tickets for outrights and top-20s.

Sia Nejad recommended David Skinns at +330 to be the top finisher from the UK & Ireland sector. Nejad framed the pool as a two-horse race between Skinns and Matt Wallace (+125). Wallace owns the slightly better ball-striking profile and decent Twin Cities history, yet Nejad called Skinns the 'emerging' player, pointing to Skinns’ recent form spike since returning from Europe and the value disparity between the two numbers. Because Nejad believes neither Seamus Power (out of form) nor Danny Willett (multiple missed cuts) are realistic threats, he prefers a fractional stake on the longer +330 ticket, arguing that even a 0.3-unit play yields a strong return if Skinns continues trending.

Kenny Kim punched a 150-1 outright ticket on David Skinns with eight-place each-way insurance. Kim likes the Englishman’s fit at TPC Twin Cities because Skinns is a proven Bentgrass specialist who has gained with the putter in five of his last six starts. The long-iron play has quietly popped as well—Skinns ranks top-30 in the field from 175-200 yards and has posted finishes of 4th, 8th and 9th in three of his last five outings. Kim also pointed to noticeable strides off the tee; Skinns is gaining nearly a half-stroke per round in that category over the last month after tweaking his driver setting. He finished T-24 here a year ago, and Kim believes the current form added to those positive memories provides real win equity well above the posted price.

Rick Gehman called David Skinns a momentum play that still goes overlooked in optimizers. Skinns owns three top-10s in his last five starts, including back-to-back top-8 finishes in the recent weak-field swing, and finished 24th at TPC Twin Cities last year. Rick likes that the Englishman’s surge is being fueled by both approach and putting, exactly the two factors Gehman’s custom 3M Open model weighted most heavily. With his salary stuck in the low $7K range, Skinns offers both a made-cut floor and realistic top-15 upside for balanced lineup constructions.
