Fantasy Golf Tournament Preview- Dean & Deluca Invitational

OVERVIEW
The final leg of Texas golf is upon us this week in Fort Worth. Last year Jordan Spieth reclaimed his form from his Masters debacle to capture a three shot victory over a surprising Harris English in a weak field (something we have yet again this week with all of the top Euros playing in the BMW PGA at Wentworth). The course is considered a ball strikers course where players will be forced to hit less than driver to put themselves in prime position to attack flags. We also have some course comps this week to look at, so I’d recommend looking at past experience at the following courses/events: Harbour Town (RBC Heritage), TPC Four Seasons (Byron Nelson).
