Fantasy Golf Tournament Preview- AT&T Byron Nelson
OVERVIEW
Interesting week last week where we saw a large number of 6/6 lineups make it through the initial cut and if you were able to avoid the MDF’s by Kuchar & JT, you saw some nice returns. This week we head back to Texas for the first of back-to-back Texas events to complete the Texas swing. At the top of the field we have DJ, Spieth, Day and Masters winner Sergio Garcia leading this fairly weak field. The past few weeks haven’t seen the chalk hit as we’re used to, so make sure you’re paying attention to your aggregate ownership percentages when building your lineups, being massively chalky can be detrimental when the dust settles on a week where the chalk falls flat, regardless of contest selection.
