Fantasy Golf Tournament Preview- Portugal Masters (European Tour Package)

OVERVIEW
Distance off the tee will be key this week so you’ll notice a lot of bombers will be listed in the picks sections. The course was designed by Arnold Palmer in 2004, so expect more of a resort course style of design (which should lead to lower scores). The course is a very flat links course with minimal trees and four lakes come into play on seven holes – so there will be plenty of opportunities for some blow up holes. This year we have more returning players so we’ve got more of a sample to play with, which should result in better picks than we’ve had the past few weeks.
