Pinehurst’s Fast Greens Are a DFS Nightmare

Why the Fast Greens at Pinehurst Will Destroy Your Fantasy Lineup

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.

Brooks Koepka vs Pinehurst: When Power Needs Accuracy

Why Brooks Koepka Will Struggle With the Driving Accuracy at Pinehurst

Brooks Koepka’s driving accuracy faces Pinehurst No. 2’s sandy lies, crowned greens, and the kind of pressure that turns power into survival

Brooks Koepka has built his major-championship aura on power, nerve, and a ruthless ability to simplify brutal golf courses. Pinehurst No. 2 does not make that easy.

This SportsOrca piece breaks down why Koepka’s driving accuracy becomes the real pressure point at Pinehurst. The fairways may look open, but firm bounces, sandy native areas, wiregrass, and crowned greens can turn one missed tee shot into a full-hole survival test.

Koepka can still contend because his major résumé demands respect. But at Pinehurst, power alone is not enough. He needs short grass, clean lies, and the patience to accept discipline over ego.
