HaoTong Li Looks to Follow in the Footsteps of Danny Willet and Sergio Garcia
7 years agoThe Dubai Desert Classic has proven to be an indicator for Masters success. Danny Willet captured both titles in 2016 and Sergio Garcia did the same in 2017. Since his win in January, though, Li has done nothing but go the opposite direction. He has failed to produce a top-50 in his last five starts, which is highlighted by a WGC-Mexico Championship performance where he shot 14-over to miss the cut. These two rounds featured an astonishing negative-16.6 strokes gained total. If the 22-year-old wants to keep the correlation between the Dubai Desert Classic and the Masters alive, he better find something that hasn’t been there these last two months. His $7,200 DraftKings price tag makes him a risky selection this week.
