Fantasy Golf: Portugal Masters
Published:
The European Tour heads to the Algarve this week for the Portugal Masters at Vilamoura’s Oceanico Victoria Golf Club.
Arnold Palmer’s par 72 layout features plenty of variety and even more birdie opportunities with wide fairways meaning -18 or better has been required to win six of the seven runnings here.
David Lynn shot a 63 on Sunday last year to scoop the title and the Englishman is defending this week.
Team TG:
Shane Lowry £1.2m
Sticking with the Irishman who extended his run of made cuts to eight in Scotland last week. Is becoming an everpresent on Sunday leaderboards and has won here before.
Ross Fisher £1.6m
Retains his place in our side. Has finished eighth, runner-up, third and seventh in this event.
Pablo Larrazabal £1.4m
Five cuts out of five in this event and shot back-to-back 68s at the Dunhill last weekend.
Chris Wood £1.4m
Has been quiet of late but should be buoyed by a solid showing last week and has had a top-10 here.
Alvaro Quiros £1.2m
Lives at the resort and won this event in 2008.
Marcel Siem £1.2m
German returned to some fist-pumping form last week with a t-11 in Scotland. 4th here in 2008.
