Kirschner rounded out his card with Kevin Velo at 150-to-1 with ten-place each-way terms. Velo has popped on enough recent leaderboards for Kirschner to view the price as a clear mis-tag in a field lacking star power. While hard stats were scarce, Kirschner emphasized Velo’s consistent ball-striking run on the Korn Ferry Tour and believes the 7,000-yard par-70 sets up well for a player whose strengths lie in precise iron play rather than raw distance. The wager is small-stake, high-ceiling, but Kirschner insists Velo is live for a surprise top-10 and offers major DFS salary relief.

Matt Gannon likes Kevin Velo at $6,100, noting that Velo already posted two top-25 finishes on longer North American tracks this season. He just shot 65-67 in U.S. Open sectional qualifying, reinforcing that the ball-striking is peaking. Velo gains 0.55 strokes on approach over his last eight rounds and sits 15th in the field in par-5 scoring. Gannon forecasts a made cut with top-30 upside—valuable production from near-min salary—and views him as a smart pivot off chalky Canadian punts.
