Bo McBrayer is sprinkling Patrick Fishburn at 120-1 because the rookie’s elite scoring ceiling plays up in a shoot-out Wyndham week. Fishburn ranks near the top of the PGA Tour in birdies per round, and Bo noted that Sedgefield’s two reachable par-5s will let him lean on that strength. While the former BYU standout still coughs up "too many others," McBrayer thinks a positional layout that forces everyone into shorter clubs mitigates the big-number risk. With Fishburn sitting on conditional status and needing a strong finish to lock up his 2026 card, Bo expects maximum motivation and likes pairing the outright with a top-20 at plus money.

Pat Perry said Patrick Fishburn belongs on the betting card this week, calling the Utahn a perfect fit for bomber-friendly TPC Twin Cities. Perry reminded listeners that Fishburn quietly finished T-18 at the John Deere, posted a T-6 at the ISCO two weeks ago, and placed T-6 at last year’s 3M— proof he can hang on this exact track. Sitting 104th in FedEx Cup points, Fishburn owns plenty of motivation to secure full status, and Perry thinks the carrot plus his elite length on four reachable par-5s makes the 70-to-1 outright number and any plus-money top-20 prop live tickets.

Cody Williams grabbed Patrick Fishburn at +6600 after finishes of T18 (John Deere) and T6 (ISCO). Fishburn ranks 16th in this field in SG: Off-the-Tee and 7th in SG: Putting on bent-grass greens over the last 36 rounds. Williams believes that rare combo of length and bent-grass proficiency makes Fishburn a live longshot at TPC Twin Cities.

Brian Kirschner singled out Patrick "Fish" Fishburn as his favorite mid-tier outright at 28-to-1. Fishburn hung around the first page of the leaderboard last week and owns proven success on par-70 layouts such as Sony. Kirschner’s research shows Chick Adams’ redesigned, 7,000-yard track will yield a ton of wedges plus a handful of long-iron approaches—exactly the two distance buckets where Fishburn’s strokes-gained numbers pop. Add in strong recent form and a weaker-than-Tour average field, and Kirschner is building both his betting card and DFS cores around Fishburn’s blend of short-game touch and high-end approach play.

McBrayer finished his card with Patrick Fishburn at 120-1, revealing the Utah bomber graded No. 1 in his custom model. Fishburn leads this field in strokes-gained off-the-tee, sits fourth in both overall ball-striking and par-5 performance, and cracks the top-10 in birdie-or-better percentage. Even his worst stat in McBrayer’s database is 57th, underscoring a balanced profile ideal for a Rocket Mortgage shoot-out. McBrayer thinks the market simply does not recognize the ceiling of a player who can "come from deep" and shock casual bettors.

Gannon pitched Patrick Fishburn as his favorite leverage play off the Thriston Lawrence chalk. Fishburn’s calling card is raw distance—he ranks inside the top 25 on Tour in driving distance—and Gannon thinks Detroit’s wide corridors will let him swing freely and set up flip wedges all week. With ownership expected to be a fraction of Lawrence’s and salary relief in the low-6K range, Gannon sees Fishburn as the ideal GPP pivot who can pay off with a made cut and birdie streak upside.

Gannon highlighted Patrick Fishburn at $6,700 as a ball-striking dart. Fishburn ranks 7th in the field in SG:Off-the-Tee over the past 24 rounds and has recorded four top-30 finishes on similar driver-heavy setups in the last 18 months. Although the irons remain neutral (losing 0.05 per round), Gannon noted Fishburn consistently finds himself on weekend leaderboards thanks to elite driving and a streaky putter. At sub-5% projected ownership, he offers leverage and genuine top-15 equity if the wedges are merely average.

Polzin recommended the Patrick Fishburn / Zac Blair combo as a low‑owned GPP dart that still carries legitimate upside. The former BYU teammates finished 4th here last year and arrive with encouraging form—each has two top‑30s in his last three PGA starts. Fishburn’s length (5th in driving distance) complements Blair’s precision iron game (11th strokes‑gained approach), a profile Polzin says is tailor‑made for the Thursday Four‑Ball birdie fest. With DraftKings pricing them near the salary floor and sportsbooks dangling 100‑1 outrights, Polzin suggested doubling exposure: low‑digit DFS ownership plus a fractional outright and +500 Top‑20 tickets create asymmetric returns if the Cougar connection clicks again.
