Course-fit targets, value plays, risk flags, and one CB Caddie hunch pick for TPC Craig Ranch.
TPC Craig Ranch, McKinney, Texas
The Sunday fantasy board correctly identified the main scoring lanes: leader equity with Si Woo Kim, safe chase pressure with Scottie Scheffler, and aggressive upside with Wyndham Clark. The final result made the Clark lane the clear winner. Clark closed with a 60, reached 30-under, and passed both Kim and Scheffler to win at TPC Craig Ranch.
The final round confirmed that TPC Craig Ranch rewarded players who kept attacking. A safe top-3 finish was useful, but the fantasy-winning result came from the player who turned Sunday into a scoring sprint. Wyndham Clark did exactly that, closing with a 60 and taking the tournament from two shots back.
The Sunday board was right to keep the focus on Kim, Scheffler, and Clark. Kim had the lead, Scheffler had the safest anchor profile, and Clark had the aggressive scoring path. The final leaderboard showed the difference between a good fantasy result and the best fantasy result: Clark had the ceiling, Kim had the placement, and Scheffler had the floor.
Clark was the correct ceiling play. His final-round 60 made him the tournament winner and the best Sunday fantasy result.
Kim did not close the win, but he still finished second. That made him useful for placement, just not the slate winner.
Scheffler finished third, which made him a strong floor piece. The issue was ceiling, because Clark went nuclear.
Suber and Mitchell were better final value results than some of the deeper names because they kept climbing Sunday.
Final assessment: Clark was the best call on the Sunday board. He was listed as the aggressive pivot, and that was the exact winning lane. He closed with a 60, finished at 30-under, and won the tournament by three shots.
Fantasy grade: Smash result. This was the ceiling play that won the final-round board.
Final assessment: Kim was the best leader/placement play. He started Sunday with the lead and still finished second at 27-under, but Clark’s 60 was too much to hold off.
Fantasy grade: Strong placement hit, but not a winning ceiling result.
Final assessment: Scheffler was the CaddyBytes Sunday hunch and safest anchor. He finished third at 25-under, so the floor was there, but he was not the tournament-winning fantasy piece.
Fantasy grade: Good anchor, good top-3 finish, but Clark was the better ceiling call.
Final assessment: Jaeger was a reasonable value/momentum idea after his Saturday move, but he did not turn into the best Sunday value. He finished tied ninth at 19-under.
Fantasy grade: Playable but not a standout. Jackson Suber, Keith Mitchell, Tom Hoge, Zach Bauchou, and Tony Finau became better final value results.
Final assessment: Suber became one of the best final-round value outcomes. He closed with a 63 and finished fourth at 23-under.
Fantasy note: This was the strongest value result behind the Clark-Kim-Scheffler top three.
Final assessment: Mitchell kept moving and finished fifth at 22-under. He was one of the better value-style names from the chase group.
Fantasy note: Strong final placement for a player who fit the ball-striking/value profile.
Final assessment: Hoge finished tied sixth at 20-under. He did not threaten the win late, but he remained a useful final-board placement/value result.
Fantasy note: Solid finish, especially for builds that wanted approach-heavy form instead of only top-three names.
Final assessment: Bauchou and Finau both finished tied sixth at 20-under. Bauchou held value from his 54-hole position, while Finau closed his way into a better final result than his Sunday starting point suggested.
Fantasy note: Useful placement results behind the top five.
Why he mattered: Suber’s final-round 63 pushed him to fourth at 23-under. That made him the best value-style result on the final board.
Final takeaway: When TPC Craig Ranch plays this low, value needs birdie streaks, not just made-cut safety.
Why he mattered: Mitchell finished fifth at 22-under and validated the idea that strong ball-striking could still create useful Sunday fantasy value.
Final takeaway: He was a better value result than most deeper long-shot names.
Who fit: Zach Bauchou, Tony Finau, and Tom Hoge all finished tied sixth at 20-under. None of them won the slate, but all delivered usable final leaderboard position.
Final takeaway: This was the range for steady value, not slate-breaking upside.
Why they were limited: Stephan Jaeger, Max Greyserman, and Sungjae Im finished tied ninth at 19-under. That kept them inside the useful range, but they did not match the Suber or Mitchell value outcomes.
Final takeaway: Good enough to stay relevant, not good enough to be the main value answer.
These are the main takeaways from grading the Sunday fantasy board after the final leaderboard was complete.
Lesson: Si Woo Kim was still a strong play, but the two-shot lead was not enough at a course where someone could shoot 60 from the chase pack.
Fantasy takeaway: A leader can be a good placement play without being the best winning play.
Lesson: Scheffler was a good anchor and finished third, but Clark’s 60 showed why aggressive pivot upside matters in final-round formats.
Fantasy takeaway: Safe floor is useful, but the winning Sunday build needed Clark’s ceiling.
Lesson: Clark started close enough to matter and had the putting/scoring profile to flip the tournament. That is exactly what happened.
Fantasy takeaway: On birdie-heavy courses, the right chaser can be better than the leader.
Lesson: The best value names were the ones that kept climbing. Suber’s 63 and Mitchell’s top-five finish mattered more than pre-round reputation.
Fantasy takeaway: Current scoring path beat name value again.
CB Caddie says: The Sunday hunch pick was Scottie Scheffler, and that produced a strong but not perfect result. Scheffler finished third at 25-under, which made him a good anchor and a safe fantasy piece. But the better tournament-winning call was the aggressive pivot: Wyndham Clark.
Final grade: Clark was the best call, Kim was a strong placement play, Scheffler was a good floor anchor, and Suber / Mitchell became the better value results ahead of the Jaeger value hunch.
Wyndham Clark — the aggressive pivot became the winner after closing with 60 and finishing at 30-under.
Si Woo Kim — did not close the tournament, but finished second at 27-under and held strong fantasy value.
Scottie Scheffler — finished third at 25-under. Strong result, but Clark had the better ceiling.
Jackson Suber / Keith Mitchell — Suber finished fourth after 63, and Mitchell finished fifth at 22-under.
