A thrilling finish in the desert say Branden Grace and Marc Warren trade birdies and eagles over the last few holes.  Ultimately Grace rolled in his birdie putt on 18 which Warren couldn't match.  Bernd Wiesberger was hanging onto their coat tails and finished with birdie for third place on his own.  All three were picks but this time no one managed the trifecta.  The combo of Grace and Wiesberger was the closest and three Fantasy Leaguers including two of the leaders had chosen them.  Both Barragan and Davie also picked Justin Rose and George Coetzee but Barragan also had Anders Hansen which gave him a fairly comfortable cushion in the end.  Kwinigolfer also had all five of his picks finish in the points but he had Warren and neither of Grace or Wiesberger, a creditable third place for Kwini..

The surging BlueCoverman also had five picks, including Grace, score points and he was able to overhaul Ned B-H who had four picks, including Grace, score points.  1GrumpyGolfer had Grace and Wiesberger and he moved up into sixth spot just ahead of McLaren and newcomer TheCleaver who had three and two picks score points  respectively; they both had Grace too.  SetupDetermines and Pedro round out the top ten.  Setup slipped after just two of his picks managed to hold onto a scoring position.  Pedro had just three picks left but one of the was pretty good in Grace.

i'm Never Wrong, RedRage, and Beninho all had three picks score points but they didn't have a lot of quality.  GoldWolf and Hibbz both had two picks score points, LadyPutt just one.  Super_Realist's picks didn't trouble the scorers.

For the fourth day running 65 was the low round score and three players shot that score to move into the top 10.  Byeong-Hun An and Gregory Bourdy both moved into fifth. Alex Noren finished ninth and scored points for BlueCoverman and Kwinigolfer.  Wade Ormsby shot 79 for the worst round and he finished one shot above Mikko Korhonen who finshed at +6 in last place.

The Qatar Masters has only ever seen two repeat winners since its inception in 1998.  They are Adam Scott and most recently Paul Lawrie who last won in 2012.  Past winners are lacking in attendance as only seven of will tee it up this week.  Sergio Garcia will be next to attempt a succesful title defence.  

World Number 2, Henrik Stenson, headlines the field and he'll be hoping for a better performance this week.  Justin Rose has also made the short trip to Qatar and Garcia is the only other top 10er to join them in the field.  Only four others from the top 50 are teeing it up and just 53 players are providing value to the OWGR points on offer for this event, for more detail see the OWGR threads that GPB, Robopz, et al contribute to.  

There are three Categories where you will need pick three players, plus reserve, from each one.  There are bonus points available if you get all of your picks through in any category.  Get all 9 picks through and you get an even bigger bonus.  It's all way down at the bottom in the scoring section if you are interested.

This is a full field with cut event, cut points will be available; see above.

RULES

Picking players: Unless stated, pick a total of 9 players as follows:

Pick 3 players from each category, plus a reserve per category.

Event winner: The person with the most total points at the completion of each event will be declared the winner. In case of a tie, those involved will match-off each picks' final position score in descending order. i.e. Player A's best finish vs. Player B's best finish, Player A's 2nd best finish vs. Player B's 2nd best finish, etc... until one's pick finishes better than the other(s).

If there is a tie after all 9 picks have been matched against each other, those involved will be declared co-winners.

Order of Merit: The person with the most total points at the completion of the season will be declared the Fantasy League Champion. If there is a tie for total points at the completion of the season, those involved will be declared Co-Champions.

Player Withdrawals: If you pick a player who withdraws during a tournament, that player will be eligble for points for all completed rounds and making the cut if they withdraw after the cut. It must be apparent that the player completed their round for them to be eligible for either the low round, worse round, top 5, or top 10 low round scores.  If a player withdraws before starting the tournament then your reserve will be put in that player's place. It is up to you to check that your players are in the starting field.

Holidays / Absences: If you will be absent for an upcoming event (e.g holidays) you may post the numbers on the most recent fantasy league event and the respective tournament(s) that apply.  Example: Pick 3 players and 1 reserve from each category and the relative event number or name: Players 4, 5, and 8, reserve 9 from Category A, players 1, 3, and 7, reserve 5 from Category B, players 1, 2 and 17, reserve 12 from Category C, Event #12.

Failure to submit picks: If you do not submit picks you will be awarded zero points.

Deadlines: Picks must ideally be submitted before the first drive is struck on the first day of the tournament. However, late picks submitted after the tournament has begun must be for players who have yet to start (or are not showing a score on europeantour.com, PGATour.com, etc.), and these will not be valid unless they are seconded by any other league member.

All fantasy league disputes and discrepancies will be considered by the League Judge: LadyPutt. All decisions made by the League Judge are final.

Sitting 11th. Not far of mid table respectability! After week 1 and round 1 this is a big improvement.

What's happening to Sergio? Thrown in a double and a triple on his back nine!

Too much poker perhaps?

I think Sergio got me some points!

Back of fag packet calculations indicate 8 picks with the top 10 low round scores and 2 picks who turned into "choppers" and shared the worst round score. Full updates to come later.

In the Top 10 Low Round scores of 68 or lower only one player was not a pick.  That was Eddie Pepperell who shot 65 to tie for low round of the week.  Every other scoring pick shot either 67 or 68.  At the other end of the leaderboard four players shot 77 to tie for the worst round of the day.  Two of them, in Sergio Garcia and Matthew Fitzpatrick, were picks and both McLaren and SetupDetermines had picked both of these "choppers".  

Barragan remains in the driving seat after having two picks score points for good play and one for bad play.  He's closely followed by Davie, Kwinigolfer, Ned B-H, and SetupDetermines.  SetupDetermines had four picks score points, Davie and Kwinigolfer each had three score points, and Ned B-H had two score points.  TheCleaver had two picks score points, BlueCoverman one, and McLaren three picks who scored.  Everyone else, except Beninho and Super_Realist, had at least one pick score points and it's pretty much as you were in mid table.

Four picks are tied for first, two at fifth, and five others are in a scoring position.  Something will have to give tomorrow; will Barragan hold onto to record a maiden win or will one of the chasing pack pass him?

Cheers Grumps

Phoenix next?

Quite enjoy the European soiree though!

Yep, Phoenix next.

I'll post a list of Euro and PGA Tour events later today or tomorrow so we can decide upon events.

Bloody hell I am crap at this.

Early days Ben, one good week could see you right back into this

11th last week, 12th this week. Need to pick a few winners. Thanks Grumps. Keep up the good work.

I'd like to enter the next one

CJB, the next event, the Phoenix Open, will be posted on Tuesday just let me know what picks you want from the posted players.

Grumps... are you sure Davie didn't win...   or was that just a typo

Barra, just a typo  You're still the winner  

The total is correct.  If you add the scores across his line it would put his total as 175 not 195.  Cut points should have been typed as 40 (7/9)...

Just putting this out there before Blue does; the standard of administration is in line with the compensation provided...
