After a wild weekend at Baltusrol, the last major of the PGA Tour season is officially behind us and all eyes are turning toward the FedEx Cup playoffs. Custom Jerseys From China . There are only a few more opportunities for players to accumulate enough points to position themselves to make a run at a spot at the Barclays in late August, and as golfers put their best efforts into making that final push, our fantasy golf experts are here to share which players are most likely to set themselves apart this week at the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands.The expert panel is comprised of ESPN.coms Bob Harig and Will Harris;?FantasyGolfInsiders Jeff Bergerson, Zach Turcotte, Taras Pitra and Jason Rouslin; and DailyFantasyBootCamp.coms David Jayne.Note: Golfer salaries listed are for DraftKings.Bob Harig -- Bubba Watson ($12,300)Its tough to pick against the defending champion, even though he has been off since March when he won and finished second in consecutive tournaments. His only top-10 finish since that point is a tie for eighth at a European Tour event in China. Still, Watson loves the Travelers Championship, where he has won twice, along with second- and fourth-place finishes. He could use the Ryder Cup points boost, too.Will Harris -- Keegan Bradley ($7,600)The U.S. Open was Bradleys eleventh missed cut in 19 starts this season, but since then hes made three straight while flashing a sharper greenside stroke to go with tee-to-green skills that have him leading the Tour in total driving and ninth in GIR. The forward-trending Bradley is 5-for-5 at TPC Highlands, with an opening round 64 in last years event.Jeff Bergerson -- Justin Thomas ($7,800)As far as cut-making goes, Thomas is elite this year -- hes only missed two cuts since January. He has also shown upside, with third place finishes at The Honda Classic and Players Championship as well as a win in the fall season at the CIMB Classic. He doesnt have a tremendous amount of experience at TPC River Highlands, but he did finish 30th on this course in 2013. I feel like his $7,800 price tag presents a lot of value, and he can be used as a great cash game or GPP play this week.Zachary Turcotte -- Tyrrell Hatton ($7,700)Few golfers in the world are playing at the level of Tyrell Hatton right now. The 24-year-old out of England is having his best season as a professional, with only two missed cuts in 16 starts and six top-10 finishes, including three in a row entering the Travelers Championship. He drives it just over 290 yards on average off the tee, hits about 70 percent of greens In regulation on the European Tour and sports an above-average putter. Fortunately, for fantasy owners, Hatton has not made enough of a splash in the U.S. to see his salary rise too high at this point, which gives us a great opportunity to lock him in this week at the bargain price of $7,700.Taras Pitra -- Brendan Steele ($8,500)Steeles been a pretty chalky play in weaker field events, and this week will be no different. Id expect his ownership to be fairly high in GPPs, which makes sense considering his course history (25th - fifth - 13th - MC - 13th). He only missed the cut by two strokes at the PGA, so hopefully that scares off some others that only look at form. Either way, he seems to play well here and should be considered for all formats.Jason Rouslin -- Keegan Bradley ($7,600)A late-year surge from Bradley, as it seems hes figured out how to putt again. Joining Webb Simpson and using the Matt Kuchar-led tactic, his putting has been much more consistent and the results are showing in his game. Hes 3-of-3 in his last three starts and has never missed a cut here in 5 tries; I like Bradley to have one of his best showings of the year.David Jayne -- Ryan Moore ($7,800)It has been a relatively quiet summer for Moore, who over the last four months is without a top-25 finish. Hes played better of late, though, making his last four cuts after a string of three missed in a row. Returning to TPC River Highlands should give him a boost of confidence, as he has finished inside the top-13 in six of his nine starts at the Travelers. Moore is one of the shortest hitters off the tee, but unlike recent months he will benefit, on this 6,841 yard track, from being able to use short irons to approach these greens -- something that cant be said for his last seven events. Custom High School Jerseys .Y. -- Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone has drawn on his Syracuse connections once again by hiring Rob Moore to take over as receivers coach. Custom Baseball Jerseys . Catch all the action on TSN2 at 11pm et/8pm pt. The nine-time Big 12 champion Jayhawks are positioning themselves for another title, as they have run out to a flawless 6-0 mark in conference play thus far. http://www.customjerseysnearme.com/ . Miller reached right to deflect Mikhail Grabovskis attempt with just over 2 minutes remaining in regulation, and then made two more saves in the shootout Sunday to give the Sabres a 2-1 win over the Washington Capitals. HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. -- Eskenformoney finally got her much-deserved first graded stakes victory by wearing down an embattled and dead game Curlins Approval to register a three-quarter-length victory in Saturdays Grade 3 Rampart at Gulfstream Park.Eskenformoney, a daughter of Eskendereya owned by Star Ladies Racing, had been graded stakes-placed five times in her career going into her 4-year-old finale. Finally breaking through after tripping out beautifully under regular rider Javier Castellano, who kept her perfectly placed behind Curlins Approval and her own stablemate Genre in the 1-1/16-mile Rampart.Curlins Approval and Genre slugged it out on the lead through splits of 23,53, 45.64 and 1:09.71 for the opening six furlongs, with Eskenformoney poised to strike while being kept little more than a length off the pace from the outset. Castellano sent Eskenformoney up three wide to challenge the embattled leaders turning into the stretch, his filly finally wearing down Curlins Approval inside the eighth pole before maintaining a safe advantage to the end.Curlins Approval, who surprisingly went postward as the odds-on, 1-2 favorite, turned in a huge efforrt in defeat in her two-turn debut. Custom Basketball Jerseys. She withstood the early challenge from Genre, then briefly resisted the winner before ultimately succumbing near the end. It was another 1-1/2 lengths back to the tiring Genre in third.Eskenformoney paid $13.20 after negotiating the distance in 1:35.47 over a fast track.Talking to Johnny and Javier before the race, they said it looks like you wanted to be involved early, Pletcher said. The strategy was to come out running with both of them, and Genre just came out showing a little more natural speed. But Javier made a conscious effort to stay as close as he could, and it worked out.Pletcher said he was happy Eskenformoney finally became a graded stakes winner after several frustrating near misses at 3 and 4.It was nice to see, she really deserved it, Pletcher said. She knocked on the door several times this summer and just missed, and did so as a 3-year-old. She seems to like Gulfstream, shes always seemed to run well here, and it was good to see her finally pick up a graded win. ' ' '
