Fantasy Golf Tournament Preview- BMW International Open (European Tour Package)

OVERVIEW

The International Open returns to Munchen Golf Club this week fresh off the heels of an exciting-ish US Open. The field is pretty strong with many players flying back from the states yesterday, but I personally will be staying away from the likes of Tommy Fleetwood this week primarily due to ownership, as well as what I expect to be fatigue from the event – hint: keep a close eye on early WD’s this week if you’re rostering him. Pepperell, Wiesberger, Kaymer and Sergio all finished up fairly early and beat it out of Erin Hills, so I’m sure they were home in time to try to get back on a normal sleep schedule.
