Fantasy Golf Tournament Preview- Tshwane Open (European Package)

OVERVIEW
I hope you didn’t pack your luggage yet because we get one more week in the soggy land of South Africa! The event was previously held at Copperleaf Golf & Country Estate until 2015, where it was moved to Pretoria CC. The winners since the move have both been of South African decent, but I don’t think I’ll be purposely putting South Africans in my lineups this week as that didn’t go as planned last week. The course was redesigned in 2004 by Gary Player (a South African) and features tight fairways, small undulating greens and a ton of sand. There’s also a river that runs through holes 13-17, so don’t be surprised if your players’ scores drop during this stretch of holes. The weather this week is a concern again as thunderstorms are in the forecast again for all four days.
