KLM Open: Fantasy DP World Tour ones to watch

The DP World Tour returns to the Netherlands this week for the 105th edition of the KLM Open, one of the longest-running events on its schedule. Here is all that players of the DP World Tour's official fantasy game need to know.

The European Swing, the fourth of five global swings on this season's Race to Dubai, reaches its second half as The International plays host for the second year running of the Netherlands' national Open.

The winner of the Swing will receive entry into all events in Phase Two of the season - the Back 9 - and a US$200,000 bonus, while there is also a place in the field at the Genesis Scottish Open up for grabs.

With a record prize fund of $2.75m, the 105th edition of the KLM Open has drawn a strong field of international and Dutch talent.

Laurie Canter, the top-ranked player this week, is joined by fellow top-100 players Thriston Lawrence, Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen and Haotong Li.

Joost Luiten - a two-time winner of this event - leads the home charge, with recent first-time winners Kristoffer Reitan and Nicolai von Dellingshausen also teeing it up.

From insight into the week’s most-picked players among Fantasy managers, to our ones to watch, we run the rule ahead of Thursday’s deadline to pick your team.

Who are the most backed players?

Reitan arrives in Amsterdam as the form player on Tour after backing up his maiden DP World Tour title in Belgium with a tie for second last week in Austria after carding a sensational closing 60. So, it is perhaps little surprise that has not gone unnoticed by our Fantasy players, featuring in 64% of teams.

Scot Ewen Ferguson comes next on 52% as he returns to action for the first time since finishing in a share of second at the Soudal Open last month, with dual member Lawrence then third at 41%.

But there is then just a four per cent drop to the next most-picked player in Canter, before Sebastian Söderberg rounds at the top five at 35%.

Who are our ones to watch?

Here, we pick out three players in action this week who are worth considering for your Fantasy team selections.

Favourite - Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen

Despite back-to-back missed cuts over his last two starts – including on his Major Championship debut at last month’s US PGA Championship – the Dane is the clear favourite among the bookies. The fact that is the case is testament to the impression he has made over the last year or so, emerging as a viable consideration for this year's Ryder Cup. With a week to go until he next tees it up on the Major stage at the U.S. Open, the talented 25-year-old will be eager to regain some of the momentum that saw him rack up runner-up finishes on both the DP World Tour and PGA TOUR earlier this season.

Form Horse - Kristoffer Reitan

Impossible to ignore for this week. The Norwegian may have missed six cuts across his first ten starts of the season, but since then he has made the weekend in each of his subsequent starts. More than that, he is a winner on the DP World Tour having won the Soudal Open in Belgium, while he stormed into a tie for second over the weekend with a stunning 60 that threatened to see him become just the second player to card a 59 in the Tour's history. Add to the mix that he also finished in a tie for second at the Hainan Classic during the Asian Swing and it is clear to say he is a man in a rich vein of form.

Wild Card - Marcus Kinhult

No stranger to the DP World Tour, the Swede - the third in our Scandinavian heavy line-up - is back at the scene of his best finish last season. A year ago, he missed out on claiming his second DP World Tour title to Guido Migliozzi in a play-off that also featured Joe Dean. He matched that performance in his opening start of the ongoing campaign at the Alfred Dunhill Championship in South Africa. While he does not have any other top tens since then, he did register his fourth top 20 at the Turkish Airlines Open so will hope he can work his way towards the top of the leaderboard as he bids to maintain his standing in the top 50 on the Race to Dubai Rankings.

Looking back - Austrian Alpine Open presented by SalzburgerLand

Von Dellingshausen was left speechless after claiming his maiden DP World Tour title at the 110th attempt and that is perhaps an emotion that was shared by some of our Fantasy players after he featured in only 1.66% of teams - winning the 523 of you who selected him 222 points.

Both our Favourite - and the most picked player among all of you last week - Neergaard-Petersen and Form Horse Jordan Smith missed the cut at Gut Altentann, while Wild Card Troy Merritt finished in a tie for 27th.
