Hero Indian Open Fantasy Preview

Another week on the Euro Tour and it’s another tournament played outside of Europe.

The Tour stays in Asia as they head to India this week to faceoff with DLF Golf & Country Club.

The course is about as unique as they come, in terms of courses used on professional tours. It looks like a course a teenager might create in a video game. There are rock and water features littered across the property. Double bogeys are lurking around every corner.

Currently listed as a par 72 that plays around 7,400 yards, don’t let that fool you. The course has been listed as high as 7,700+ yards but it’s played nearly 700 yards shorter than that. Despite it grading out as a long course, it correlates more with short-course performance. They can do a lot with the course setup here to alter the yardage.

You can have a look at the Fantasy Golfanac for some past quotes from the event.

Let’s dive into some past results to see who might fit the course.
