Fifteen picks finished in the scoring positions including all of the top seven players and three others finished inside the top ten.  GolferMartin pulled in the greatest number of points despite not having the highest number of points scorers.  He was one of two to have a 1-2 finish and his other two scoring picks were inside the top ten.  Eyetoldyouso was the other Fantasy Leaguer to have the 1-2 finish and he added one more pick from inside the top ten.  SetupDetermines had the most picks score points with six and BlueCoverman had five picks score points.  BobtheJob was the third Fantasy Leaguer to have selected the winner and one of several to have four picks score points.  1GrumpyGolfer, EmmDee57, Hibbz, LadyPutt, Pedro, and TheCleaver all had four picks score points but none selected the winner.  EmmDee57 had all of his remaining picks score points.  AlciG may have had three picks left but they all scored too.  Davie, McLaren, and Super_Realist also had three picks score; Davie was the final Fantasy Leaguer to have picked the winner.  Beninho, I'm Never Wrong, Kwinigolfer, and Owen10ozzy each had two picks score points.  SirBenson had just the one pick score points.

Four players shot 65 to tie for the low round of the day.  Three were picks; one was the immensely popular Rory McIlroy with just the sixteen Fantasy Leaguers picking him.  In contrast Alvaro Quiros and Byeong Hun An were each picked by just two Fantasy Leaguers.  Three of the four picking Quiros or An had also picked McIlroy.  Ashun Wu was the other player to shoot 65.

The Omega Dubai Desert Classic is the third and final leg of the desert swing and a relatively strong field is in place.  Rory McIlroy is not only the headliner but also the defending champion.  He's trying to emulate Stephen Gallacher, who became the first player to successfully defend the title, and Ernie Els, who has won this three times.  Other former champions in the field include Rafa Cabrera Bello, Alvaro Quiros, Miguel Angel Jimenez, Henrik Stenson, Thomas Bjorn, and David Howell.  Howell incidentaly won his title in one of the two editions that were held away from the Emirates GC.

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.

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.

Rounds of 67 were needed to make the Top 5 Low Round scores and all five players who shot 67 or lower were picks. Cream of this crop was Alex Noren who shot 66 to take the early lead and earn bonus points for Kwinigolfer and SirBenson. Kwinigolfer takes the early lead over SirBenson because he also had Peter Hanson in his picks. Rafa Cabrera Bello was a relatively popular pick with BlueCoverman, Eyetoldyouso, Golfermartin, Pedro, and SetupDetermines all selecting him. Hanson was also chosen by BobtheJob, Hibbz, and Owen10ozzy. Super_Realist had Brett Rumford and TheCleaver had Trevor Fisher-Jr to round out the top five players. Everyone else is yet to get off the mark.

Unfortunately not GM but maybe he'll surprise us tomorrow.

What a disastrous day for me today; currently -1 is the best score shot by any of my players and I have 3 definitely missing the cut, one from each category! Going to be a long slide down the leaderboard!

Me too! Rory - what ARE you doing?????

Don't worry about Rory, LP, not for this game anyway. If he stinks, almost everyone stinks as almost everyone selected him.

McDowell and Westwood and Oost will not be getting picked for a while; especially the first two..put my faith in there course record and its bitten me badly! 5 for the weekend...going to need them all to shoot well to stand a chance!

Some see through the emperor's new clothes

Lol... only 3 cuts made

60 cut bonuses were in play for the Fantasy League but earning one proved to be pretty difficult. Half of the Fantasy League picked up one for Cat A, four were awarded in Cat C, and just two were earned in Cat B. Of the sixteen bonuses awarded just two Fantasy Leaguers picked up more than one. Cat B proved to be their undoing; TheCleaver losing one pick while 1GrumpyGolfer will have to make do without Cat B entirely.

TheCleaver's haul puts him right on the coat tails of Kwinigolfer who has six picks left; Kwini's cut bonus was enough to hold onto top spot. Four Fantasy Leaguers, Davie, Hibbz, LadyPutt, and SetupDetermines all have seven picks left and all earned a bonus. BlueCoverman, BobtheJob, and SirBenson were among the group that have six picks left but Bob's cut bonus gives him a slight edge. Beninho, Eyetoldyouso, GolferMartin, Pedro, and Super_Realist also have six picks left; Super was the only one not to earn a cut bonus. I'm Never Wrong and Owen10ozzy each have five picks left but Owen was another that earned a bonus. EmmDee57 and McLaren both have four picks left; EmmDee was the final Fantasy Leaguer to earn a bonus. AlciG is left with just three picks for the weekend.

The cut line fell at one under and the low round of the day from Thorbjorn Olesen meant he was well inside that mark. His round of 64 pipped Danny Willett's by a shot; six Fantasy Leaguers, Beninho, BlueCoverman, BobtheJob, Davie, LadyPutt, and McLaren earned points from this.

Joachim B. Hansen set the low round mark relatively early in the day. Thirty five picks set about chasing down that score and for the second day running Danny Willett misssed out by one shot. Three other picks were within a shot of Willett and two others a shot further behind. All six were in the Top 10 Low Round scores.

GolferMartin made his charge off the back of three of his picks shooting 67 or lower he's overtaken the second round leader and is also ahead of Hibbz and SetupDetermines who both had two picks score. TheCleaver had just the one pick score and that was enough for him to hold onto his tied second position. Eyetoldyouso and 1GrumpyGolfer also had two picks score points and they moved up the leaderboard. AlciG, Beninho, BlueCoverman, BobtheJob, Davie, EmmDee57, LadyPutt, Pedro, SirBenson, and Super_Realist all had one pick score points.

Thirteen picks are in the scoring positions including all of the top 4. Plenty of points to play for in the final round.

Fifteen picks finished in the scoring positions including all of the top seven players and three others finished inside the top ten. GolferMartin pulled in the greatest number of points despite not having the highest number of points scorers. He was one of two to have a 1-2 finish and his other two scoring picks were inside the top ten. Eyetoldyouso was the other Fantasy Leaguer to have the 1-2 finish and he added one more pick from inside the top ten. SetupDetermines had the most picks score points with six and BlueCoverman had five picks score points. BobtheJob was the third Fantasy Leaguer to have selected the winner and one of several to have four picks score points. 1GrumpyGolfer, EmmDee57, Hibbz, LadyPutt, Pedro, and TheCleaver all had four picks score points but none selected the winner. EmmDee57 had all of his remaining picks score points. AlciG may have had three picks left but they all scored too. Davie, McLaren, and Super_Realist also had three picks score; Davie was the final Fantasy Leaguer to have picked the winner. Beninho, I'm Never Wrong, Kwinigolfer, and Owen10ozzy each had two picks score points. SirBenson had just the one pick score points.

Four players shot 65 to tie for the low round of the day. Three were picks; one was the immensely popular Rory McIlroy with just the sixteen Fantasy Leaguers picking him. In contrast Alvaro Quiros and Byeong Hun An were each picked by just two Fantasy Leaguers. Three of the four picking Quiros or An had also picked McIlroy. Ashun Wu was the other player to shoot 65.
