The Outlook

Henley hasn’t been in the top 25 at the U.S. Open since finishing 16th as the low amateur back in 2010. He has the tendency to pop up in random spots in the PGA Tour season given his solid all-around play: He’s very much a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none type of player. There are better longshot values on the board in this loaded field, but he’s a fine dart throw in DFS, especially in something like the DraftKings Milly Maker, which requires low-owned guys that can sneak into the top 10. He’s been close to that at points in nearly all four majors.
