Fantasy Golf Tournament Preview- Italian Open (European Tour Package)

OVERVIEW

The weather this week will be a ray of sunshine compared to last week, so like most of us amateur/casual golfers, I assume these guys will be in higher spirits even if their game doesn’t travel with them. The wind should be non-existent and temps are scheduled to be in the low to mid 70’s so I’m expecting a birdie fest (with the occasional bogeys for good measure).
