4 years agoPerhaps a misinterpretation of Erik Van Rooyen's skill set can be blamed for why DFS users have found it challenging to trust the South African. In fact, maybe even Van Rooyen doesn't quite understand the real strength of his game. The belief for many is that the 30-year-old dominates off the tee, and while there is no doubt that he is long with his drives, the brunt of his success tends to come because of his ability to use his irons to find success. Venues that are full of trouble and require fairways to be found have presented Van Rooyen some issues with his paltry ranking of 88th in this field when it comes to driving accuracy, but the wide-open nature of TPC Scottsdale could benefit the 30-year-old to be able to use his length without the risk of locating danger. His third-place finish at Chapultepec allowed him to use the altitude to enhance his distance artificially, but he might get the best of both worlds at a setup like TPC Scottsdale. Consider the one-time European Tour winner as a volatile dart throw in GPP builds. --Spencer Aguiar - RotoBaller
