________________________________________________________________________

For the second time in a matter of weeks an Australian has won a PGA Tour event and a WGC in back to back events. This time it was Jason Day who was down one hole early on but after a couple of Louis Oosthuizen mistakes was relatively untroubled in his march to victory.

Victory for Day also ensured a victory for Ray; Raycastleunited was guaranteed points from the final as he had both participants. Ray was the only Fantasy Leaguer to tip Day to win and those bonus points ensured he was able to overtake McLaren and win the event. McLaren was one of the eight Fantasy Leaguers to pick Day and almost all who did finished in the top ten. Eyetoldyouso and Owen10ozzy climbed into a share of third with Pedro. I'm Never Wrong, LadyPutt, McLaren, and TheCleaver all had Day and finished in the top ten. AlciG also had Day but finished just outside the top ten.

EmmDee57, Hibbz, Pedro, SetupDetermines, and SirBenson all picked Oosthuizen and came close to improving their positons.

________________________________________________________________________

The top 60something players in the world will compete in the WGC Match Play Championship this week. In a move designed to keep tv and sponsor interest all players are guaranteed three matches so the win or go home of previous years are avoided with 16 groups of four playing round robin style to determine who moves onto the weekend knockout stages.

Henrik Stenson and Jim Furyk already signalled their intentions not to play so Patton Kizzire and Thorbjorn Olesen sneak into the field. Stenson and Furyk's absence means that Brandt Snedeker and Louis Oosthuizen are in pot 1. Each of the top sixteen seeds go into the various groups as the first pick and then a player is drawn from each of the remaining pots to fill out each group. Groups 1 and 16 are drawn first so if it goes to plan Jordan Spieth should face Louis Oosthuizen in the knockout stages.

The draw will take place 6:00-8:00pm local time on Monday evening; a 9pm start on the East Coast and 1am start in Sunny, okay starry nighted, England.

Keeping the same format as last year for the Fantasy League event but due to timing of the draw it's probably quicker if you find the published groups and make your selections rather than wait for me to post the groups later tomorrow.

________________________________________________________________________

Pick the overall winner of the tournament and then select the winner for each of the sixteen groups. Your group winner either continues or he doesn’t, it’s that simple.

For each round robin match your pick for group winner wins you will earn 10 points. If the match is halved your pick earns 5 points.
If and as your pick for group winner advances through the knockout phase of the tournament you will earn another 10 points for every win. There are 50 points on offer for those selecting the overall winner.

Don't forget it starts on Wednesday!

________________________________________________________________________

RULES

1. Select the overall winner of the Match Play tournament

Bit confused Grumbie Cat - How do I make my selections of group winners before you've posted the groups?

by 1GrumpyGolfer Mon 21 Mar 2016, 7:06 pm

I was thinking that the groups would already be published somewhere before I even got anywhere near the office tomorrow and from that you could make your selections rather than wait for me to post. Make sense?

by Hibbz Mon 21 Mar 2016, 7:12 pm

Yeah that makes sense thanks mate.

I've just amended my original wording to make it clearer. Thanks hibbz

After my run of form, I am so tempted just to do a Mac and pick the 16 seeds. But I won't. I'll see the groups first.

Grumps, forgot to select a winner from Group 12. As both matches have teed off I guess I just have to write that one off. furious

by 1GrumpyGolfer Wed 23 Mar 2016, 5:29 pm

There's still 10 holes or so to play in the initial match plus another two matches to go. Make your pick and we'll let the good lady judge decide whether it will stand.

Sorry I didn't catch your mistake.

by pedro Wed 23 Mar 2016, 6:12 pm

Kjeldsen is 2 down so I'll pick him.
Thanks GG, not your mistake!!

________________________________________________________________________

I'm Never Wrong sets the early pace with ten wins and two halves out of his sixteen picks. He's closely followed by Pedro and SetupDetermines who matched the wins but had one more loss. LadyPutt had the fewest losses in round one but more halves meant she didn't really take advantage. Owen10ozzy split the difference between LadyPutt, Pedro, and SetupDetermines.

Sand was the only other Fantasy Leaguer to have nine wins out of his selections. AlciG, Bobthejob, Davie, Eyetoldyouso, and McLaren all had eight wins. EmmDee57, GolferMartin, Hibbz, Kwinigolfer, Raycastleunited, SirBenson, and TheCleaver all had seven wins. Super_Realist had just the five wins.

Nice try INW. I'm a tad worried, my overall winner lost his first match! All to do

nice work getting the scores out this quickly grumps. You must have a put together a pretty neat spreadsheet. thumbsup

Thanks Mac, I think I was trying to be too clever with it last night so it probably took me a bit longer than if I'd stuck with what I normally do.

by LadyPutt Thu 24 Mar 2016, 12:30 pm

Thanks Grumps. Sorry I've only just picked this up today - I'm happy with Pedro's pick in Group 12, especially as he lost laughing

by 1GrumpyGolfer Thu 24 Mar 2016, 12:39 pm

You're all heart LP, I'm sure he'll be delighted with your generous ruling Laugh

McLaren almost went unbeaten in round two but David Lingmerth messed it up. Mac had eleven wins and four halves to jump into the lead after the second round of matches. His points haul was equaled by Raycastleunited who had twelve wins and two halves. Eyetoldyouso and GolferMartin had eleven wins. LadyPutt, Owen10ozzy, and TheCleaver each had ten wins. I'm Never Wrong, Pedro, Sand, and SirBenson each had nine wins. AlciG, BobtheJob, and Kwinigolfer each had eight wins. EmmDee57, Hibbz, and SetupDetermines each had seven wins. Davie had six wins and Super_Realist had just three.

Twenty two players have been eliminated including the overall winner pick from Super_Realist. David Lingmerth is out and so are a number of other selections for group winners. Super also has the most eliminated so far with eight. Hibbz has lost six so far and EmmDee57 and Kwinigolfer are down five. AlciG, Davie, and LadyPutt have lost four. BobtheJob, Eyetoldyouso, GolferMartin, I'm Never Wrong, Owen10ozzy, Pedro, SirBenson, and TheCleaver have all lost three. McLaren, Raycastleunited, Sand, and SetupDetermines have lost just two so far.

While a bunch of wins may have been the order of the day on match day two the Fantasy Leagers racked up the losses on day three. AlciG and Pedro both ended the day with nine wins but Pedro had four halves to record the highest points total and move into the lead after the group stage. Eyetoldyouso and SirBenson both had eight wins. GolferMartin, Hibbz, McLaren, Raycastleunited, Super_Realist, and TheCleaver all had seven wins. Davie, EmmDee57, Owen10ozzy, and Sand all had six wins. BobtheJob, Kwinigolfer, and LadyPutt each had five wins while I'm Never Wrong and SetupDetermines each had just the four.

McLaren looks like he could be the Ian Poulter of the Fantasy League matchplay events as he has the most picks left standing with eight. Hibbz and Pedro both have seven picks left. AlciG, EmmDee57, Kwinigolfer, Raycastleunited, and SirBenson all have six picks left. GolferMartin, I'm Never Wrong, Owen10ozzy, and TheCleaver all have five picks left. BobtheJob, Davie, Eyetoldyouso, LadyPutt, and SetupDetermines each have four picks left. Sand has just the three left and Super_Realist's interest could be over pretty quickly as he only has two picks left.

Several picks for overall win were eliminated and AlciG, BobtheJob, Eyetoldyouso, GolferMartin, Owen10ozzy, Pedro, Sand, SirBenson, and TheCleaver all join Super_Realist in having their choice eliminated.

McLaren always looked good considering he had the most picks left and he added the most points by having five picks win their matches. He's regained the overnight lead from Pedro who had just the two picks stay alive in the tournament. Hibbz, I'm Never Wrong, and Raycastleunited have the second most number of picks left in the quarterfinals with four. EmmDee57, Kwinigolfer, LadyPutt, Owen10ozzy, SetupDetermines, SirBenson, and TheCleaver all have three left for the quarterfinals. AlciG, BobtheJob, Eyetoldyouso, GolferMartin, and Sand all have two picks left in the quarterfinals. Both Davie and Super_Realist have one pick left alive.

Another two picks for overall win said goodbye after the first knockout matches; Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed were knocked out for Davie and Kwinigolfer respectively.

Grumps,
Where are your selections?

by 1GrumpyGolfer Sat 26 Mar 2016, 10:44 pm

Kwini; I've got Jason Day, Rory McIlroy, Louis Oosthuizen, and wildcard Rafa Cabrera Bello left....

Strange as it seems for someone who runs a fantasy league I don't really care that much for pro golf. I rarely watch golf on tv outside of the majors and ryder cup. I've probably seen more golf live, in person than on tv each year.
