6 years agoLast season, Haotong Li captured the title at the Dubai Desert Classic, which had been a past indicator for success at the Masters. Danny Willett won both tournaments in 2016, and Sergio Garcia accomplished the feat in 2017. Unfortunately, Li wasn't able to keep the trend going in 2018, finishing in 32nd place, but it was an impressive first appearance from the Chinese sensation. While all of that is positive, the two-time European Tour winner drew an unfavorable draw getting paired with Tiger Woods on Thursday and Friday, but we have seen the 39th-ranked player in the world find success when being matched with superstars like Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson in the past. Yes, Tiger is a different animal and has been known to send the best of the best into a mental breakdown, but we believe Li has enough youth and exuberance to find more success than one might think. --Spencer Aguiar - RotoBaller
