Before the PGA TOUR heads to Augusta for TheMasters, the Texas swing kicks off with the Texas Children's Houston Open at Memorial Park. This long par-70 layout favors distance off the tee, with minimal rough and limited hazards allowing bombers to take advantage.
With a 133-player field and a top-65 cut (plus ties), finding the right DFS value is key. Course history matters here, and strong iron play and putting have consistently led to success. With big greens, tricky runoffs, and scoring opportunities on par 3s and 4s, targeting the right skill sets is crucial. These six DFS picks are built to capitalize on Memorial Park's unique layout and deliver strong lineup upside.
This article reveals my favorite target at each price level on DraftKings. DraftKings does not sponsor this content.
Chris Gotterup ($9,800)
Gotterup's power game fits Memorial Park perfectly, where distance is a major advantage. He's one of the longest hitters on Tour and has already shown winning upside this season. He's also had success on similar setups, including a solid finish here before. If he's swinging freely, this course gives him plenty of chances to score and deliver strong DFS value.
Brooks Koepka ($9,600)
Koepka's ball-striking has been sharp lately, and the putting is trending in the right direction. He's also very comfortable at Memorial Park after helping redesign the course with Tom Doak, giving him a unique edge. The layout fits his game well, especially off the tee and on approach. If he avoids the big mistakes, the upside is there for a strong DFS performance.

Michael Thorbjornsen ($8,600)
Thorbjornsen's power off the tee is a perfect fit for Memorial Park, where distance is a major advantage. He's shown he can contend in big spots and keeps putting himself in position to break through. With fewer demands on wedge play and more emphasis on driving and scrambling, this setup plays to his strengths. If he keeps trending upward, the upside for a strong DFS performance is definitely there.
Stephan Jaeger ($7,800)
Jaeger has a proven track record at Memorial Park, including a win in 2024 and multiple top-15 finishes, making this a great spot for him. His length off the tee and strong putting fit the course perfectly, and he's coming in with solid recent form after a T7 finish last week. With a game that matches the layout and confidence on this track, he offers both safety and upside for DFS lineups.
Jordan Smith ($7,400)
He's trending in the right direction with elite ball-striking and a breakout showing at Valspar, where he led the field in greens in regulation. His strength off the tee and on approach fits Memorial Park perfectly, a course that rewards strong drivers. He's proven he can compete at a high level and offers great DFS value. If the irons stay sharp, the upside is definitely there this week.
Seonghyeon Kim ($6,900)
Kim is coming in with solid momentum after a well-rounded T7 at Valspar, where he showed off improved putting and all-around scoring. He's been sharp across the board, ranking well in approach, birdies and around-the-green play. While his course history at Memorial Park is modest, his current form stands out. If the putter stays hot, he offers strong DFS value with the ability to quietly climb the leaderboard.
