Wee-Bey Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 **Fantasy Golf Week 11** there's something in the water PGA National played tough for everyone except 5 shot winner Matt Jones. 270 balls were lost to to the wet stuff and holes 14-17 played 364 over par for the week. South African Justin Harding won in Kenya, but it was a quiet week points wise, Sunjae Im, Adam Scott, Garrick Higgo, Sam Horsfield and Conor Syme were the only fantasy league scorers. Disclaimer: I forgot to allocate points for Sunjae Im sneaking into the top 20 last week. This prompted a full audit and found that Daniel Berger's points were also wrong, but he's not in anyone's team. I'd also done myself out of 10 points somewhere along the way (honestly) and someone else was also 4 points short. All up to date now though.

Arguably everyone within 150 points of the leader has a shout, given that there's 3 tournaments this week, with one being a x1.5 bonus event. The matchplay format also means that it could be a high scoring week if someone gets 3 into the semi finals. There's an early start in Kenya on the European Tour and the Corales Puntacana in the Dominican Republic. All eyes will be on the WGC Matchplay at Austin Country Club in Texas though. Another tough Pete Dye course with plenty sand and water. It's a course with two contrasting 9's, one being relatively flat alongside the water and one with quite severe elevation changes routed through a canyon, perfectly suited to matchplay golf. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Craig Howie finishes on 3 under, Ewen Ferguson is 1 under even though he dropped 6 shots in his round. David Drysdale birdied his first 3 holes of the day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I would be surprised if Pete Cowen has altered his pricing structure any just because it is Rory. He takes 4% of a player's winnings, but only if they are in the top 10. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder who the Ryder Cupper he refuses to take back is? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder who the Ryder Cupper he refuses to take back is? He obviously has great belief that if players do what he tells them to do then they will get better and be challenging to win more often than not.He's deliberately made that comment very vague as he has worked with lots of Ryder Cup players who have gone into the top 50 in the world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Cut line in Kenya is -3 at the moment. David Drysdale top of the leaderboard just now on -12 alongside last weekend's winner Justin Harding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Drysdale top of the leaderboard just now on -12 alongside last weekend's winner Justin Harding. Cut line -4 now. After his fine showing last week Syme looks very like missing the cut. One over after 11 holes so will need to play the final 8 holes in 5 under as things stand. Forrest on the same mark as Syme. Howie, Law and Ferguson also with work to do to make the cut. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poulter 2 up against McIlroy after 4 holes, McIlroy 3 putting from nowhere to hand Poulter that last hole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 McIlroy got back to one down, but just lost 4 on the spin to go 5 down after 12, just used the stand as a backstop on the driveable 13th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
