European Tour Fantasy Golf Picks and Predictions for the 2017 Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open

The Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open Fantasy Preview

This is the last chance for the massed ranks of the PGA and European Tours to get their Links game up to scratch prior to the British Open at Royal Birkdale, which gets underway on June 20.

This week’s assignment, along with last week’s Irish Open, are the perfect precursors to the third major of the year – hence why a field including Rickie Fowler, Rory McIlroy, Patrick Reed, and reigning Open champion Henrik Stenson has assembled on the west coast of Scotland.

One player who must be feeling his Links game is pretty tight right now is Jon Rahm, as he followed a top-ten return at the Open de France by blitzing the Irish Open last time out, taking the spoils at a mark of -24. The Spaniard looks to be a great early pick for the Open next week.

Rahm takes a well-deserved week off but will no doubt be keeping a keen eye on this Scottish Open field. A tough assignment is said to await the players at Dundonald Links, because despite its short stature (Par 72, 7,055 yards) the greens are said to be a) very small, and b) offer rather severe run-off areas. Accuracy is the name of the game in Scotland this week.

For gamers who enjoy having as much data as possible at their fingertips when making their drafts, Dundonald course designer Kyle Phillips is also responsible for Kingsbarns, one of a trio of host tracks of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, and The Grove – host of the 2016 British Masters.

And of course, with a similar yardage and complimentary conditions, last week’s Irish Open is also worth keeping in your armoury.

Jostling for position at the head of the daily fantasy listings are Rickie Fowler, a former winner of this event in 2015, Rory McIlroy – fresh from a missed cut in his home tournament last week, perennial favorite Adam Scott, and Henrik Stenson, who won his first major a stone’s throw from Dundonald at Royal Troon. You could, in some respects, make a case for any of that four to enjoy success this week.

But who are the half-dozen we will be drafting on side?
