Andy Lack rounded out his DraftKings Darlings with Jesper Svensson, who has cashed nine of eleven cuts in 2025, including seven straight. Svensson’s flatstick is carrying the load (+0.46 SG: Putting), and Lack said that’s perfectly fine on a course where a hot putter can hide mediocre iron play. At sub-$7 000 pricing, Svensson delivers a solid weekend floor with slight top-30 upside in optimal scoring conditions.

Byron Lindeque cosigned Kenny’s Hustler Play and added a key wrinkle: Svensson’s approach play looks awful in standard models—only 18th-percentile good-shot rate on fairway shots 200-plus yards—but he quietly jumps to the 61st percentile when hitting from 150-plus yards out of the rough. With Craig Ranch’s Bermuda expected to top out around three-quarters of an inch, Byron thinks misses won’t be nearly as penal as usual and Svensson’s rough proficiency should show. Combine that with top-10 ranks in both driving distance and par-5 scoring and Lindeque believes the Swede has sneaky upside at sub-8 percent ownership for large-field DFS contests.

Kenny Kim designated Jesper Svensson ($7,400) as his ‘Hustler Play of the Week,’ projecting sub-8% ownership. Svensson ranks top-6 in the field in driving distance and top-10 in par-5 scoring, a profile Kim loves when 30 under can win. While the approach numbers are ugly—18th-percentile good-shot rate from 200+—Kim noted Svensson is 61st percentile on long shots out of the rough, which could matter if Craig Ranch’s narrower fairways push players into three-quarter-inch bermuda. Add an above-average putter and the Swede’s ability to rack up birdies in soft conditions, and Kim believes Svensson can be the low-priced piece that vaults a lineup to the top of large-field GPPs.

Parker recommended a flier on Jesper Svensson and Niklas Norgaard at +3700 on bet365. Both are DP World Tour winners who thrive in low‑scoring environments: Svensson ranks 12th in the field in driving distance and 11th in both true strokes gained off‑the‑tee and putting, while Norgaard sits second in distance, eighth off‑the‑tee, and 28th with the flat stick. They are 11th and 14th in birdie average this PGA season, leading Parker to project fireworks in the four‑ball rounds (1 and 3) where aggressive scoring is rewarded.

Byron Lindeque highlighted the Jesper Svensson–Nicholas Norgaard pairing as one of his favorite Round‑2 and Round‑4 Showdown darts. Using his Zurich Model Maniac spreadsheet, Lindeque noted that odd‑hole tee boxes force the same player to hit 11 of the team’s 18 approach shots—most of them 175–285‑yard long irons—while the partner handles the majority of drives and first putts. In this tandem, Norgaard ranks inside the top 15 on Tour in proximity from 200‑plus yards, exactly the bucket that dominates those 11 approaches, whereas Svensson is a significantly better putter and gains strokes off the tee at an above‑average clip. The complementary skill set mirrors what made Cantlay/Schauffele dominant here, giving the Scandinavian duo sneaky upside to spike in the more volatile alternate‑shot rounds. Lindeque expects them to carry single‑digit ownership in DraftKings Showdown slates and sees +450 or longer top‑20 placement odds as worthwhile bets.

Wes Reynolds sees Jesper Svensson as an attractive positional play for Memorial Park, advocating bets in the top 30 or top 40 placement markets. Svensson's notable driving distance fits Memorial Park's favorable profile to long hitters, allowing advantageous iron approaches into these challenging greens. Reynolds plans to consider Svensson both for positional bets at significant plus-money odds and to leverage him in matchup betting against players less suited to the course.
