Fantasy Game for 2012 Majors, The Players and US-Based WGC's: The WGC Bridgestone Thread

by kwinigolfer Wed 28 Mar 2012, 3:33 pm

Welcome to Tournament Seven of the 606v2 Fantasy game for 2012.

Although this is the seventh of eight tournaments, new players are still enthusiastically invited - out of 360+ picks for the first six events, there have only been three winners selected!

Against each competitor's name below there will be found the initials (names for MK's, PH's and JD's) of golfers selected to date and therefore ineligible for future picks. (If a player has been selected twice by a contestant, and I didn't spot it, that event's choice is shown as d/q below - just the one so far, and immaterial to the competition as the golfer in question missed the cut.) There will also be shown money earned to date in $US.

RULES:
There are EIGHT events, FOUR Major Championships (just the PGA remaining), THREE WGC's (only one remaining) and The Players Championship.

For each event choose one golfer; you will not be able to choose that golfer again.
The prize-money your chosen golfer earns in the selected event accrues, notionally of course, in your account, but for that specific event only.
So, by the time of the completion of the PGA Championship in August, you will have selected eight players and, with good judgement, good fortune or both, have accrued eight pay cheques. The fantasy contestant with the highest accrued earnings is the winner.

For each event's new thread, the contestants will be shown, in alphabetical order, with their earnings to date and names of golfers no longer available.

Following the WGC Bridgestone, the remaining event will be:
August 9th - 12th: PGA Championship

The prize fund for The WGC Bridgestone is about $8.5M with the winner pocketing about $1,400,000.

You are advised to nominate a substitute in the event of a last minute withdrawal. Withdrawals, dq's etc during play do not earn "official" money and, as with Toms and Woods at the "Cadillac" mean a zero pay day.

For The Bridgestone, there will be no cut.

The field is not yet finalised, but the following players are all qualified:
Allenby, Baddeley, Bae, Bekker, Bjorn, K.Bradley, Byrd,
Cabrera-Bello, Chalmers, KJ Choi, Colsaerts, Crane,
Day, Donald, Donaldson, Dufner, Dyson, Els,
Fernandez-Castano, Fowler, Fujimoto, Furyk, Garcia, Goosen, Grace,
Bill Haas, Hanson, Hoey, Ishikawa, Jacobson, Jaidee, D.Johnson, Z.Johnson,
Kaymer, KT Kim, Kuchar, Laird, Paul Lawrie, Leishman, Tom Lewis, Luiten,
Mahan, McDowell, McIlroy, Mickelson, F.Molinari, Muto, Na,
Ogilvy, Oosthuizen, Pettersson, Piercy, Potter, Poulter, Quiros, Rock, Rose
Schwartzel, Scott, Senden, Siem, JM Singh, Slattery, Snedeker, Stanley, Stricker,
Taniguchi, Toms, Van Pelt,
Wagner, Watney, B.Watson, Westwood, Wiesberger, Willett, M.Wilson, Woods, Yang

Reminder: NEW PLAYERS are EXTREMELY WELCOME!!!!

by I'm never wrong Wed 28 Mar 2012, 5:07 pm

Two weeks ago I would have not looked at Woods. After Bay Hill I'm picking him. Phil Mickelson as my reserve. Excellent job Kwini, thanks.

by **navyblueshorts** Wed 28 Mar 2012, 5:29 pm

Much as it sticks in the craw, can I have Woods. Donald as reserve.

by Fader Wed 28 Mar 2012, 5:50 pm

Need to make some money to catch up so based on form and how he is so good here I'll take: Tiger Woods
And for my reserve may I have Adam Scott please kwini

by Plunky Wed 28 Mar 2012, 6:19 pm

Luke Donald please Kwini, with Adam Scott as reserve.

Thanks

by kwinigolfer Wed 28 Mar 2012, 7:36 pm

And I've chosen Rory with Tiger as sub.

by Faldono1fan Wed 28 Mar 2012, 8:12 pm

I will choose Rory with Phil Mickelson as sub.

Cheers Kwini

by GG Wed 28 Mar 2012, 8:36 pm

Gonna take a risk here...

KJ Choi sub Mahan

Good pick, wouldn't describe it as a risk :P

I'm guessing it's a bit late to join in Sad

by kwinigolfer Wed 28 Mar 2012, 10:13 pm

LastDamnation,

No problem, enter away, one win and you'll be in the top ten, or close to it.

Welcome to the Board.

Welcome to the Board.

Well since I have a lot of catching up to do there's no value in taking the "obvious picks"

Snedeker sub Van Pelt please Smile

by rfitzpatrick Thu 29 Mar 2012, 12:06 am

Hi Kwini

, I think you will have to play for me....no luck so far....ANYWAY ITS THE TAKING PART THAT COUNTS Laugh

Try McILROY, RES SCOTT
Cheers
Richard

by kwinigolfer Thu 29 Mar 2012, 1:23 am

That's the Olympian spirit Richard! I hope your selection is a winner!

Plenty of time for newcomers to catch up LastDamnation, Tom Watson for one would be thrilled to see Sneds in the Green Jacket!

All picks so far should be reflected above. Thanks.

by super_realist Thu 29 Mar 2012, 6:59 am

Do I have to make another selection? If so can I have Peter Hanson with Garcia as reserve. Cheers

by Lairdy Thu 29 Mar 2012, 8:57 am

Going to get my pick in early before I forget again!

Pick - Donald
Res - Woods

by Skydriver Thu 29 Mar 2012, 9:33 am

I actually made my choices a long time ago based on past form, but have (rather strangely) been reconsidering given what happened last week - question of peaking too early and also general preference not to follow the crowd.

I'll stick with the plan though - Tiger Woods please, sub KJ Choi.

[I actually want any Brit to win though!]

Happy Masters, everyone.

by SetupDeterminesTheMotion Thu 29 Mar 2012, 11:45 am

Rory & Luke for me please.

Not convinced by Tiger yet....!!! Rolling Eyes

by John Cregan Thu 29 Mar 2012, 12:50 pm

Kwini,

Phil Mick for me please. (Sub Woods)

by SpacemanSpiff Thu 29 Mar 2012, 2:40 pm

Needing to catch up so...

Rose, sub Woods.

by hend085 Fri 30 Mar 2012, 10:22 am

philly Mickelson for me please Kwini!

by kwinigolfer Fri 30 Mar 2012, 10:26 am

Do you want a sub hend0?

by wadey101 Fri 30 Mar 2012, 10:42 am

McIlroy for me please with Donald sub.

Normally I'd wait til a couple of days before to make my picks, but I'll stick my neck out and go:

Donald (sub Woods)

Only been a couple of Donald pickers so far, strangely!

by mystiroakey Fri 30 Mar 2012, 9:11 pm

was gonna myself- but i have a feeling no one else is gonna pick westy and i reakon a win from him could really put my up the leaderboard- considering i had a last place and then a w/d in my first two attempts!!

by sportform Sat 31 Mar 2012, 1:03 am

It was a toss up between Justin Rose and Tiger Woods but I'm going to go with Tiger Woods. You can put Justin Rose down as my sub.

by kwinigolfer Sat 31 Mar 2012, 1:15 am

I'd like to remind everyone that they are strongly advised to pick a sub.
So far these contestants have no back-up in the event of a last minute injury or missing a tee-time because of extra-curricular activity at IHOP:

Hi people, i'm so excited for the Masters, really cannot wait!!

Going to go for McIlroy and I'll have Justin Rose has my sub.

Thanks Kwini thumbsup

by delToro87 Sun 01 Apr 2012, 5:15 pm

Seems a good point to use my Tiger pick, so I'll go for him thanks. Donald as sub. Cheers

pedro did you see a glint in his eye during that interview?

by Shotrock Sun 01 Apr 2012, 11:19 pm

Woods, sub Westwood.

by GPB Sun 01 Apr 2012, 11:30 pm

Mickelson (sub Bradley)

Because I can't imagine Mickelson for the rest of the tournaments.

by kwinigolfer Mon 02 Apr 2012, 3:16 am

All selections entered except Sr's - can't have Tiger twice.

by barragan Mon 02 Apr 2012, 7:25 am

Keegan Bradley with Martin laird in res.
Cheers kwin

by EmmDee57 Mon 02 Apr 2012, 11:06 am

Morning Kwini, great performance from Mahan last night and I was tempted to select him for this week. It's a wide open tournament and really looking forward to it so I'm going to go for

Mickelson
Scott (Reserve)

Although I do really think Donald will come close this week......

by Eyetoldyouso Mon 02 Apr 2012, 11:33 am

Morning Kwini

I'm going to be really original. On the basis that Augusta really fits the epithet "horses for courses" - I'm going for Mr Woods with Phil Mickelson as reserve.

by Redrage Mon 02 Apr 2012, 1:19 pm

Hey, Kwini... Phil Mickelson and Rory McIlroy (r) for Augusta.

Thanking you!

by Shotrock Mon 02 Apr 2012, 1:30 pm

Sorry Kwin!

McIlory, Westwood

by kwinigolfer Mon 02 Apr 2012, 1:33 pm

I thought that would happen, Sr!

The Masters field in the "article" should be final, no news of Billy Payne inviting any more Japanese players.

by turnip Mon 02 Apr 2012, 1:35 pm

Hi Kwini
Will have to jump aboard the Tiger train please before something new derails him and have Mickelson as reserve.
Thanks
(Will now be hoping that Luke beats Tiger in a playoff.)

by Eyetoldyouso Mon 02 Apr 2012, 3:25 pm

Kwini

I'v noticed that you've got my entry incorrect. Please see my post at 11.33 where I've gone for Tiger & Phil as the reserve.

by kwinigolfer Mon 02 Apr 2012, 3:43 pm

Eyetoldyouso,

Thanks, Now corrected. Appreciate you checking.
Apologies and bon chance!

by asdral225 Mon 02 Apr 2012, 6:23 pm

Woods and Watson as reserve

by kwinigolfer Mon 02 Apr 2012, 6:40 pm

asdral: I'll asume Bubba Watson unless you correct me. thumbsup

by Noel Mon 02 Apr 2012, 6:50 pm

Kwini,

I'm going to go with Stricker and sub Schwartzel.

I really fancy McIlroy and Donald but when I've gone for marquee names in first 2 tourneys (woods and westwood) got nowhere. Going to try a different approach this time.
