A last minute substitution from SirBenson paid dividends as Matthew Fitzpatrick's 7th place finish was enough to make the difference at the WGC-HSBC Champions.  His three other scoring picks meant he held off a hard running Davie who had five of his picks score points.  Despite having five picks score points Davie wasn't the highest scoring Fantasy Leaguer through placings.  That honour went to AlciG and I'm Never Wrong, of course they were helped by having the winner in Russell Knox as one of their picks.  Kouchi also picked the winner and that was his only scoring pick.  

1GrumpyGolfer, Kwinigolfer, and McLaren all had four scoring picks.  I'm Never Wrong also had four scoring picks but one of his was for finishing last.  LadyPutt, MustPuttBetter, Pedro, RayCastleunited, SetupDetermines, and Super_Realist all had three picks score points.  AlciG had three picks score points overall.  BlueCoverman, EmmDee57, Eyetoldyouso, Hibbz, and Owen10ozzy all had two picks score points.  Beninho, Sand, and TheCleaver matched Kouchi in having one pick score points but it wasn't quite in the same league as Kouchi's.

Danny Willett shot 62 for the low round and that earned additional points for Davie, LadyPutt, and Pedro.  I'm Never Wrong benefitted from Chris Kirk's second 79 of the week.  It was the worst round of the day and Kirk also joined Marc Warren in last place.

The second leg of the European Tour Race to Dubai Finals Series is the final WGC event of 2015.  The WGC-HSBC Champions sees a lot of the big names from the PGA Tour knock out those who were in the running for the European Tour Race to Dubai.  Jordan Spieth is the headliner this time as world number one, Jason Day, takes a rest.  Typically the top fifty in the world show up for a WGC but not this time.  Only 36 of the top fifty are teeing it up and that will allow some of those on the cusp a chance to perhaps cement a spot inside the top fifty for year end.

Phil Mickelson won the inaugural event but he's not playing, Francesco Molinari won the next one but he's not in the field either.  Martin Kaymer, Ian Poulter, and Dustin Johnson have all won the event and are playing.  So too is defending champion Bubba Watson.

Due to the limited field size the number of picks is scaled back to two from each category plus reserve.  This is also a no cut event so the usual cut bonuses are not in effect.

RULES

Picking players: Unless stated, pick a total of 6 players as follows:

Pick 2 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 6 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 eligible 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 or PM them to me.  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.

Traditional names I presume. Strangely enough, I actually know three Torbjorn/Thorbjorn's

I'd assume CHARL and DANIE are fairly traditional names too - maybe even JORDAN and BRANDEN

Muchas Gracias Grumps!

Grumps
McIlroy has complained of a dodgy stomach. I would like to withdraw him, promote Garcia and have D Johnson as my reserve.
Don't want McIlroy to tee off and then withdraw like players have done in the past.

Info for every other 606 entrant - this means with my luck McIlroy will probably go on to win it.

Thanks

Yeah I can't see Rory being up to much this week after spending a couple of days on the pan...Bubba to replace him with Fowler up to reserve please Grumps.

And while I'm at it can you promote Grace to the first team and consign Casey to the bench please. Thanks Grumps

Grumpy
Can I bring in Fitzpatrick and can you please leave Westwood out of my picks.

Thanks!!!

You should be disqualified for being boring Mac, and you used to accuse me of denegrating the competition by picking randomly.

Can I have Kevin KISNER as reserve in Cat B... Just in case

Don't think you're doing too badly with Cat B as it stands

Inspired substitution there Blue but who'da thunk Cat C would be under par??

What'ya mean?...I knew those two chinks would do well!

Has it already started? Wasn't aware lol
Good thing I posted yesterday

Started? Round one is over...

I just checked the scores I wish I had picked Kisner as the reserve in B like I wanted at first, but went with Thomas instead...

Round one of the WGC-HSBC Champions event was over before most even knew it.  Low scoring is rife as 59 of the 78 players broke par and four picks were amongs the top five low round scores.  Branden Grace was one of them and his opening 63 was enough to take the early lead.  1GrumpyGolfer, AlciG, Beninho, BlueCoverman, Eyetoldyouso, Kwinigolfer, McLaren, MustPuttBetter, Raycastleunited, and Super_Realist all had Grace in their picks.  Scores of 65 or lower were needed for the other three to score points and Grumps, Kwini, and Mac doubled up on their low round scorer while Davie, OWen10ozzy, and Pedro had two picks each in the top five scores.  LadyPutt, Sand, and SirBenson all had one of their picks in the top five scores.

At the other end of the leaderboard Danie Von Tonder had a 77 for the worst round; Super picked Von Tonder and picked up more points from the bad play.
