Valero Texas Open
Not a bad player pool for the week before The Masters. The downside is simply that, if a guy collapses in Round 1, don’t expect him to give it his best effort in Round 2 if he’s already in the field at The Masters. Practice rounds at Augusta are more important than slogging through the weekend in Texas at the back end of the pack.
Highlights: TPC San Antonio (Oaks Course)
- Par 72 – 7,438 yards
- Fairways are narrow (accuracy off the tee is important)
- Greens are Bermuda (overseeded with POA)
- Biggest equalizer? WIND!!! It’s Texas
NOTE: All pricing is based on DraftKings
** are my favorites in each category – could be pricing or the fact I think they play best.
