Distant Doonhamer Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 He's had a career many players would have killed for, but like Monty looks like a major might be the one thing that eludes him. On current form well worth an ew bet at The Masters.His interviews were great, said how he doesn't take it as seriously as some, but felt his legs were a bit tired today.He's off to play Augusta tomorrow with his son who will also be caddying for him there in April. Seems to be in a good place mentally at the moment. Yep he’s had a great couple of weeks and as you say seems in a great place. I tend to agree that he likely won’t win a Major but would be absolutely superb if he does. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be abit controversial here - I don't like Lee Westwood - think it mainly goes back to the first Scottish Open at Castle Stuart on a rain (and landslide) delayed Saturday and he did nothing but moan about it whenever the cameras were near by.....it really was a poor show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Not that he has scored me many points anyway, but Woodland is one of 3 players missing next weekend's tourney after a positive Covid test, Scott Piercy and Doc Redman are the other two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 This is for the following week. It's obviously not "locked in" as Tiger for one definitely won't be playing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. They then put out another tweet an hour after the "locked in" one saying players have until 4pm on Friday to commit to playing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van Rooyen was 66th and is in my fantasy team so I could do with another drop out, could be Koepka with his injury too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee-Bey Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 **Fantasy Golf Week 10** The Players A near flawless tee to green performance form Justin Thomas over the weekend was enough for him to hold off Lee Westwood and Bryson to pick up the '5th major' at TPC Sawgrass. His 14th title since joining the tour in 2014, only DJ has won more in that time and he now sits alongside Tiger as the only men to have a major, a WGC and the Players in their trophy cabinet before their 28th birthday. He may very well be peaking at the right time after homophobic slurs and deaths in the family ensured a difficult start to the season. Antoine Rozner followed up a win in Dubai in December with a win in Qatar this week, suggesting that he may be becoming a horses for courses desert player. No fantasy team took a chance on him though and it was left to Detry and Higgo to grab a handful of minor placings and points. Thomas' timely triumph has given the leaderboard a bit of a shake. A poor week for many, but a good one for @Mr Kane and the lemon cafe and @Tartan Dave who have thrust themselves into contention for the Road to Augusta prize, with just 3 weeks and a x1.5 WGC still to play. Standings 627 (12) @J_Stewart 618 (12) @die hard doonhamer 567 (79) @Tartan Dave 562 (119) @Mr Kane and the lemon cafe 512 (12) @alta-pete 503 (---) @lichtie23 501 (---) @Ro Sham Bo 467 (12) @peasy23 457 (119) @Henderson to deliver ..... 367 (30) @Honest_Man#1 366 (---) @Distant Doonhamer Points may be hard to come by this week. After a couple of months of high class fields, we can fit this week's OWGR top 20 participants into the back of an old Honda civic. World no.15 Daniel Berger and defending champion Sunjae Im seem most likely to prevail in the final leg of the Florida swing at PGA National. Host of the 1987 USPGA and the 1983 Ryder Cup when Europe came up just short when looking for what was then a first win on US soil. Designed by Tom Fazio, but more known for a remodel by Jack Nicklaus who incorporated the infamous 'bear trap' strech between 15 and 17. The European tour embarks on a two week long safari to Kenya, with another weak field due to the higher ranked guys switching to the US with the WGC and the Masters on the horizon. With all this complaining I'm doing, it's being held at the appropriately named Karen Country Club. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alta-pete Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 @Henderson to deliver ..... you do yourself a disservice with your modesty. No mention of your own success? Having languished around the bottom of the table for a few weeks now, your joint-top score this week very firmly pushes you up to the bottom end of mid-table mediocrity. Well done! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking as someone who has Kaymer in their fantasy team, I was hoping he might slum it in some of the diddy fields in Europe for the next few weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alta-pete Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) So he’s got a 3’ putt that he knocks 7’ past the hole, then knocks the next putt (presumably to where putt 1 was taken) further away than putt 1 to 4’ and then comes up short on the way back? He’s been watching me, must have! Edited March 18, 2021 by alta-pete 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee-Bey Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 First game of the year for me this evening. 9 holes at the Musselburgh Old course. A 39 with 3 3's on the card and one stone cold top off the 6th tee. Delighted with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
