**Fantasy Golf Week 7**
Always the bridesmaid
This stuff almost writes itself now. Tony Finau proves for the umpteenth time that nice guys always finish last, or 2nd, or tied 5th. Full credit to Max Homa though, showing great character to win at a testing Riviera after missing a 3 footer on the 72nd hole for an outright victory and an impossible lie on the first play off hole, after Burns bottled it and Finau faded in the play off. He earns one of golf's most coveted prizes. A place in next years fantasy golf listings.
Again, not much movement in the standings. Smashing through the 500 points barrier, @J_Stewart still leads the chasing pack as we count down to the Masters. Just 6 weeks until the fantasy league rolls up Magnolia Drive.

There's a PGA Tour event in Puerto Rico with the dross who haven't qualified for the big one. Matt Wallace may pick up some points for his fantasy teams in a weak field.
Yes, it's WGC time this week, which means a 1.5x multiplier is in effect. No Mexico this year for pandemic reasons, we instead start the Florida swing early with a trip to 'The Concession'. An elite field of 72 go to post in this no cut event. Tiger, Phil, Rickie and Jordan the notable absentees. A new tour venue, the only course form we have is a win for a pre beefcake Bryson and a 3rd place for Thomas Detry in a 2015 college championship. Around 7500 yards, generous fairways, difficult greens with tiers and undulations and lots of forced carries, we're probably looking for long drivers, good putters and those who have a high ball flight.
A design collaboration between Jack Nicklaus and Tony Jacklin and named after what is regarded as one of the great acts of sportsmanship, the putt conceded by Nicklaus at the 1969 Ryder Cup. Patrick Reed would be a fitting winner here I think.
