Fantasy Golf Tournament Preview- Celtic Classic (European Tour-Pro Pack Members)

OVERVIEW

Just like the PGA Tour did with the Workday Classic & Memorial Tournament in back-to-back weeks, the European Tour will be doing two events in a row at the same course. Celtic Manor is a long, flat, and exposed course with huge fairways and some water waiting for errant shots. The course was originally designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. features five Par 3’s, and four Par 5’s playing as a Par 71. Scoring on the Par 5’s is essential for contending, but equally as important is not gagging strokes back on the Par 3’s, so this will be a week where we want to target strong Par 3 scorers. As of writing, the weather doesn’t look the best as thunderstorms and showers are expected Thursday & Friday with the weekend clearing out. Winds can change at any moment, but again as of writing, we’re looking at steady winds in the 10-15 mph range. The corollary course to Celtic Manor seems to be Le Golf National (French Open) so we’ll be looking at those who have played well there as a result.
