Tournament Preview

Even though I had one of my worst weeks of DFS ever, I was glued to the television on Sunday. We had a stacked leaderboard and the first live golf in months. The Charles Schwab Challenge was a great event and that provided plenty of drama on the final few holes. I had some decent picks in the secondary plays section last week (Patrick Reed and Daniel Berger), but I will give myself a C- for the week. The core plays all struggled and I had far too many missed cuts throughout my lineups. Luckily, we have a clean slate for the RBC Heritage.

Harbour Town Golf Links is a Par 71 that measures close to 7,100 yards. This is more of a plodder’s track, as evidenced by the golfers with the best track records here — Matt Kuchar, Kevin Streelman, Luke Donald, Russell Knox, Webb Simpson, and Branden Grace. Historically, you just want to keep the ball in play off the tee. It’s more of a second shot golf course with most of the approach shots coming between 125-175 yards on the par fours and between 175-200 yards on the par threes.
