Fantasy Golf Tournament Preview- Wells Fargo Championship

OVERVIEW
New course this week means we need info. Unfortunately there isn’t much out there outside of yardages and fly overs, but what I have seen is that Carl Pettersson (currently holds the course record, 62) and Webb Simpson are members of the club and Bill Haas has some familiarity with it. Not exactly ground breaking information, but at least it’s something. Having knowledge of a course they play often should provide them with a slight edge over those playing for the first time, strong emphasis on slight since the field is fairly strong this week. Hudson Swafford, Brian Harman, Harris English and Patton Kizzire played a couple practice rounds a few weeks ago. Swafford said the condition of the course could only be compared to Augusta National (high praises). English said “it’s a great golf course and fun to play (bland comment), there’s not a blade of grass out of place and it made me want to stay longer than two days.” (I doubt he’d say anything negative publicly).
