Fantasy Golf Tournament Preview- Safeway Open

OVERVIEW

Hope you enjoyed the break as much as I did, but we’re back and ready to continue to dominate the weak ass GPPs that DraftKings puts out for us as we begin the 2018-19 season. Silverado is a bomb and gouge resort course with minimal penalty when missing the tough to hit fairways, so we’ll be leaning on as many bomber types as we can, as well as our typical ball strikers who have a tendency of having good putting runs on poa annua greens. If players miss the greens (and they will) they’ll need to scramble, which is exactly what Steele has done here the last two years in a row. Make sure you target guys who can pile up birdies as well, as the course lends itself to many birdie opportunities.
