Tyrrell Hatton picked up his first win on TOUR last year in windy conditions. He’s back to defend and I’m looking to keep rostering winners. I’ve had the winner in three of the last four columns and I hope to make it four of five! It’s also good to see my man Ben Everill on the “Horse for Course” angle. For the brand!
