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

[kwinigolfer]

First topic message reminder :

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!!!!

[rfitzpatrick]

HI KWINI......How are you ?....do you know what......I miss the week to week game....completely out of touch in this.....but great to be here.....as they say......left in the starting stalls in this one.....so relegation is not an issue..enough of that with COVENTRY CITY.....we might win a few matches in LEAGUE 1......Anyway I could not remember who I picked....had to check..... I will pick Lee Westwood.....see what happens.

Best of Luck to u all
THANKS KWINI

Richard

[BlueCoverman]

Luke Donald please, Charl Schwartzel reserve

Oosthuizen with Rose as a sub.

[Slightfade]

Lee Westwood, please, with Kuchar as sub

Cheers

[Tiler76]

Sorry about this kwini, people changing must be a real pain in the ass.

But, can I please change to Louis OOSTHUIZEN

Thanks

[1GrumpyGolfer]

Kwini, not got much of a clue for this. I think Dufner with Westwood as reserve.
Thanks, Grumps

[Caito]

Hello Kwini, Westwood for me midget mac as cover. Cheers Caito

[Eyetoldyouso]

Kwini

Zach Johnson with Justin Rose as reserve
Thanks

[simo71]

Kwini,

I will have Hunter Mahan with Peter hanson as reserve.

Cheers,

Simo71

[turnip]

Hi Kwini, almost forgot to send in my choice...
Thought that Ben Curtis would be a good bet until I realised that he isn't in it which might hamper his chances so, after a dabble with the Aussies last time out, I'll go back to the home towners with Justin Rose please - Kuchar as reserve if needed.
Cheers

[pedro]

Rose (Westwood)

Thanks for organising kwini.

[kwinigolfer]

Hi All
All picks have been made if not coloured - technology and internet connections on the fritz in Right-Wing Republican Nicki Haley's South Carolina paradise.

All will be properly updated, including distinction of earlier JD picks of Day and Dufner!

I'll accept selections during the day if your choice has yet to tee off.

[1GrumpyGolfer]

Kwini, I think you have my pick and reserve the wrong way round.

I picked Dufner

Reserve Westwood

[kwinigolfer]

Sorry Grumps, Too much sun is bad for my eyes - thanks for pointing that out. Muscle memory writing down westwood was getting the better of me.

For SetUpDeterminesTheMotion and SpacemenSpiff I have used your subs to replace duplicates from earlier events.

[1GrumpyGolfer]

After I posted I wondered whether I should have pointed this out at the end of the tournament depending upon who finished higher....

[LastDamnation]

so far so good

[kwinigolfer]

Lots of Westwood supporters in with a big shout on Sunday.

But only GG has Furyk, the only pick among those three golfers ahead of Lee.

And I'm hoping that Mickelson will rattle a few cages with a 59 (perhaps to finish in secind place, behind Westwood).

[mystiroakey]

Kwini just wondering why you didint take my reserve westy (when i picked rose twice!!)

nah in fairness i am saving him for the open championship!!

I am sure he can win both anyway. If he can get one he has 3 or 4 in him

[pedro]

Kwini, I'm sure there is a 59 out there. Especially on the front 9....

[kwinigolfer]

Hi All,
I've added the US Open earnings and will update the totals and leaderboards asap.

But The Cleaver looks to have extended his/her lead at the head of affairs, lots of bunching in the ensuing placings!

[LastDamnation]

Was all going so well...
