Fantasy Golf Tournament Preview- Australian PGA (European Tour Package)

OVERVIEW

The RACV Royal Pines resort is a tree-lined, parkland course that defends itself against par with extensive bunkering, a ton of water hazards and the wind. Playing cash games this week seems even less optimal than usual for me, but if you have been running hot, I see no reason to stop what’s working. We do have a decent sample on most of the players in the field this week, but with the majority of them being Aussies, the nit picking is tougher when trying to decide between one or two players. I’d shy away from a stars and scrubs build this week and primarily target the $9k to $7k range for cash and leave the stars & scrubs builds for GPP lineups.
