Hello and welcome to Across The Pond, RotoBaller's DraftKings DFS Euro Tour picks! At RotoBaller, we are committed to bringing our readers the most complete fantasy golf advice available, that means we offer DFS golf coverage on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.
This week's Euro Tour stop takes us to Italy for the Rocco Forte Sicilian Open. The tournament and course made their debut last year on the European Tour. The beautiful Verdura Resort was a hit with players and is returning this week. Verdura Golf Club is a 7,217 yard Par 71 golf course located in Agrigento, Sicily. Spaniard Alvaro Quiros took home the title in 2017. This tournament is unique due to being played on a "composite course", which combines the best holes from Verdura Golf Club's two courses.
Editor's Note: Our friends at Fantasy National have built some incredible DFS Golf lineup tools including a Lineup Optimizer, Stat Engine, Ownership Projections and Course Breakdowns. They are by far the best daily fantasy Golf tools in the industry. Seriously. You can read all about them here and see screenshots.
Elite Tier
Andy Sullivan - DraftKings - $11,600: While the majority of the world's top golfers are in Florida at The Players Championship this week, Andy Sullivan will be in action at the Rocco Forte Sicilian Open. Sullivan is not quite in golf's upper echelon, but he is far and away the class of the field in this Euro Tour event. In eight tournament appearances in 2018, Sullivan has made every cut. The Englishman has posted three Top-25's and two Top-10's this season and we have no reason to believe he will slow down in Italy this week.
Andrea Pavan - DraftKings - $9,500: Andrea Pavan enters this week playing excellent golf. The young Italian has five Top-25 finishes in his last six appearances on the European Tour. Pavan is a newcomer to this elite price range, he was just $7,400 a couple of weeks ago in the Volvo China Open. He is an elite putter and has an obscene amount of positive momentum. His ownership should be very reasonable, DFS players will gravitate toward the more well-known names in this price range. I'm going to ride the hot hand this week and load up on Andrea Pavan. We look for trending players in Euro Tour DFS contests and Pavan certainly fits the bill.
Mid Tier
Marcus Fraser - DraftKings - $8,900: Our mid-tier target provides experience and stability at a reasonable price. Marcus Fraser is a Euro Tour veteran with multiple wins on his resume. The Australian fared well at the Verdura Golf Club last year, finishing tied for 5th in 2017's Rocco Forte Open. Fraser has played well recently, finishing T-22 at the Trophee Hassan II and T-32 at the Volvo China Open.
Value Tier
Christiaan Bezuidenhout - DraftKings - $7,700: The young South African enters this week in excellent form. Bezuidenhout has had a terrific stretch of solid play over the last two months, finishing no lower than 28th in his last four starts on the European Tour. He offers a level of safety for his $7,700 price tag and the salary relief helps us to fit Andy Sullivan in our lineups.
