Pinehurst’s Fast Greens Are a DFS Nightmare
Fast greens at Pinehurst turn safe DFS picks into traps. Learn why long irons, Bermuda touch, and par-saving grit should drive lineup value.
Pinehurst No. 2 does not need water hazards or wild rough to ruin a fantasy golf lineup. Its fast domed greens, shaved runoffs, Bermuda grain, and brutal short-game demands can turn one safe-looking approach into a full DFS sweat.
This SportsOrca piece breaks down why fantasy managers cannot build only around birdies, distance, or big names at Pinehurst. Long-iron control, scrambling, lag putting, bogey avoidance, and emotional patience matter more than comfort picks.
The smartest lineup may not be the flashiest one. At Pinehurst, boring pars can become winning DFS points — and one bad bounce can wreck everything.
