Well what a finish that turned out to be.  After creating a seemingly unsurmountably lead Spieth sputtered, stuttered, and stumbled opening the door before his horlicks of a 12th hole.  Willett on the other hand played some outstanding golf to go bogey free overcoming demons and distractions to post a clubhouse lead of -5 and ultimately attend a fitting for a new jacket.

I'm Never Wrong and SirBenson both had six picks left in the fight while the chasing pack of Hibbz, Owen10ozzy, and SetupDetermines had five picks, AlciG just the four.  An impressive team talk saw all of AlciG's picks finish inside the top ten. SetupDetermines had four of his five score and SirBenson matched the scoring picks too; both had a player towards the low end of the points spectrum  Hibbz, like AlciG, had four inside the top ten but a slight difference in quality changed everything.  Hibbz had runner up Lee Westwood compared to a tenth place finish for AlciG.  BobtheJob, Hogie, McLaren, and Owen10ozzy had three picks score.  I'm Never Wrong, LadyPutt, Pedro, Sand, and TheCleaver all had two picks score while the rest of the Fantasy League could only manage the one pick that ranged from runner up Jordan Spieth to fifteenth placed Louis Oosthuizen.

The race for Low Amateur was all but over but Romain Langasque tried to make it interesting by shooting 68.  Unfortunatley he couldn't close up the nine shots difference as Bryson DeChambeau finished with a level par 72.  It's quicker to name those that didn't pick Chambeau and thus missed out on the 30 points.  Beninho, BobtheJob, GolferMartin, Owen10ozzy, Super_Realist, and TheCleaver didn't get any points from their Low Amateur selection.

Winner Danny Willett shot 67 to tie for low round of the day with compatriots Paul Casey and Matthew Fitzpatrick.  Casey was a pick and that earned points for AlciG and SirBenson.

It’s that time of year again as we head to Georgia for the Masters. The unofficial start to the season is upon us as the world almost steps back in time by crossing the threshold and onto Magnolia Lane. In this genteel place the golfing vocabulary changes, where there is no rough or spectators but different cuts and patrons. Pristine manicured fairways and flowerbeds set the scene for the tournament which really only gets serious on the back nine on Sunday.  This is where players will negotiate the swirling winds of Amen corner and listen to the roars generated by those on a charge and hopefully make their own to don a green jacket on the 18th green.

There are 89 entrants to this year’s tournament including the last minute addition of Jim Herman by virtue of his win in Houston. There is a very top heavy field; 49 of the top 50 are at Augusta. The only one to miss out is Jim Furyk. Of the other 40, 17 are from inside the top 100.  In the field are 20 first timers, 6 amateurs, and 16 past champions.

With the limited field we are back to two picks plus reserve.  No additional cut bonus points will be awarded in this instance, the only cut bonus to apply is for all six picks through to the third round.

There are six amateurs in the field, idenitfied by (Am) after their name, so we will have a separate pick for Low Amateur. The Low Amateur pick does not have to be one of your Cat C picks unless you so desire.  30 points will be on offer for correctly picking the Low Amateur; if no amateurs make the cut then no points will be awarded.

RULES

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

Pick 2 players from each category, plus a reserve per category.
Pick 1 amateur identified by (Am) after their name

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.

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.

Funny to see Lowry in another Fat Man group.

Thought of that too. The bigots at Augusta DO have some humor after all.

Good round from the fat man too. Actually, a good round from quite a few unfancied players. Shame Gordon Spieth is boring us again.

Jordan Spieth started off in similar fashion to last year by opening with a flawless 66 for the low round again.  His big name challengers receded faster than his hairline as the back nine proved to be their undoing.  This time around less Fantasy Leaguers took a chance on Spieth and BlueCoverman, Davie, EmmDee57, Owen10ozzy, and TheCleaver are all sitting in top place on the leaderboard.  Rounds of 69 were needed to make the Top Five Low Round scores and three picks, all Englishmen, were among those who did.  All were equally picked; 1GrumpyGolfer and I'm Never Wrong selected Ian Poulter, BobtheJob and GolferMartin chose, Justin Rose, and AlciG and SirBenson picked Paul Casey.

Low Amateur selections saw the overwhelming majority pick for Bryson Dechambeau while Derek Bard, Jin Cheng, and Romain Langasque were picked by six Fantasy Leaguers.  No one picked Paul Chaplet or Sammy Schmitz and that showed good judgement; both are languishing at the foot of the leaderboard.  Jin Cheng shot 79 while Bard shot 76, Langasque 74, and Dechambeau has another two shot lead over Langasque after a level par 72. If scoring stays as it is now the last three amateurs mentioned would make the cut courtesy of the ten shot rule.

The scoring conditions became tougher as Augusta National showed its teeth to the pros. Thanks to Jordan Spieth's worst ever round at the Masters the cut line moved back to +6 and several picks were able to stay for the weekend. This was especially good for I'm Never Wrong and SirBenson as both had picks sneak in at the last moment and leave them with the ful complement and the associated bonus that comes with it. They also had picks among the low round scorers to leave them looking at the rest of the Fantasy Leaguers in the rear view mirror.

Five Fantasy Leaguers missed out on the full set by one pick; BobtheJob, Hibbz, LadyPutt, Owen10ozzy, and SetupDetermines were left ruing one of their picks. 1GrumpyGolfer, AlciG, BlueCoverman, Davie, EmmDee57, Hogie, LL Cool Nay, Sand, and Super_Realist all have four picks left. Beninho, Eyetoldyouso, Kwinigolfer, McLaren, Pedro, Raycastleunited, and TheCleaver all have three picks left while GolferMartin has just the two.

Four picks shot 71 for the Low Round of the day. Rory McIlroy was the most popular of the picks and he's also the only player to have two rounds under par. Dustin Johnson and Daniel Berger were the next most popular and Troy Merritt was chosen by one Fantasy Leaguer. AlciG, Hibbz, Hogie, Pedro, and SirBenson had two of the four, 1GrumpyGolfer, BobtheJob, I'm Never Wrong, Owen10ozzy, Sand, SetupDetermines, and TheCleaver each had one of the four.

The Low Amateur race is stil going as two made the cut. Bryson Dechambeau's last hole horror show has made it a lot closer race than it could have been. Romain Langasque is the other amateur that's still alive. Beninho and BobtheJob's Derek Bard missed out by three shots and GolferMartin and Owen10ozzy's Jin Cheng missed out by a few more shots.

The tough scoring conditions continued and for a while Louis Oosthuizen's 71 was looking good for low round of the day but along came golden oldie Bernard Langer and rookie Smylie Kaufman to move that mark to 70 and 69 respectively.  Only five players broke par and another five managed to finish with level par rounds.  Six picks finished in this top ten and Hibbz had three of them.  AlciG, SetupDetermines, and Super_Realist had two of them and Beninho, Eyetoldyouso, GolferMartin, Hogie, I'm Never Wrong, Kwinigolfer, LadyPutt, LL Cool Nay, McLaren, Owen10ozzy, Pedro, Raycastleunited, and SirBenson all had one pick amongst the scorers.

The race for Low Amateur was all but over as Romain Langasque had a bad day with an 83 however Bryson DeChambeau conspired to three putt 18 for a double bogey to shrink his lead to six shots.  Stranger things have happened.

I am currently last but have Day and Sneds in the top 10, does anyone else have more than two players in the top 10 after day 3?

Yeh I have Spieth in first and Westwood in 8th...plus McIlroy 11th and Koepka sitting just outside top 20. Hopefully all 4 can have a strong day and fire to my first win of the 2nd part of the season!

I have Day and DJ in top 10... Also have Berger and Casey just outside top 10

Isn't his lead 9 shots?

Yeah it was. I must have been comparing round three scores

SirBenson or Hibbz well done; believe one of you two is the winner, not sure who but a playoff I think decides the outcome. Have to settle for 3rd place...if only id have been sensible with my Amateur pick lol!

Well what a finish that turned out to be.  After creating a seemingly unsurmountably lead Spieth sputtered, stuttered, and stumbled opening the door before his horlicks of a 12th hole.  Willett on the other hand played some outstanding golf to go bogey free overcoming demons and distractions to post a clubhouse lead of -5 and ultimately attend a fitting for a new jacket.

I'm Never Wrong and SirBenson both had six picks left in the fight while the chasing pack of Hibbz, Owen10ozzy, and SetupDetermines had five picks, AlciG just the four.  An impressive team talk saw all of AlciG's picks finish inside the top ten. SetupDetermines had four of his five score and SirBenson matched the scoring picks too; both had a player towards the low end of the points spectrum  Hibbz, like AlciG, had four inside the top ten but a slight difference in quality changed everything.  Hibbz had runner up Lee Westwood compared to a tenth place finish for AlciG.  BobtheJob, Hogie, McLaren, and Owen10ozzy had three picks score.  I'm Never Wrong, LadyPutt, Pedro, Sand, and TheCleaver all had two picks score while the rest of the Fantasy League could only manage the one pick that ranged from runner up Jordan Spieth to fifteenth placed Louis Oosthuizen.

The race for Low Amateur was all but over but Romain Langasque tried to make it interesting by shooting 68.  Unfortunatley he couldn't close up the nine shots difference as Bryson DeChambeau finished with a level par 72.  It's quicker to name those that didn't pick Chambeau and thus missed out on the 30 points.  Beninho, BobtheJob, GolferMartin, Owen10ozzy, Super_Realist, and TheCleaver didn't get any points from their Low Amateur selection.

Winner Danny Willett shot 67 to tie for low round of the day with compatriots Paul Casey and Matthew Fitzpatrick.  Casey was a pick and that earned points for AlciG and SirBenson.

All that bollox I put in the background paragraphs finally came true; the tournament did start on the back nine on Sunday.

Well done Hibbz! Now give us a twirl, let's see what that green jacket looks like on ya.

How come Super_Realist got 150 points? It looks from the table that he got 60 for cuts made and 30 for finish?

Cos he picked up points for Louis Oosthuizen and Matt Kuchar's scoring rounds of 71 and 72 in round three.  I messed up the table but the round three text explains it.

First one week, last (almost) the next. Typical, especially my record in Majors which is terrible.

Congratz Hibbz,

Congrats Hibbz.

My hopes of winning pretty much disappeared when I only had 4 player make the cut so in the end I'm happy with a 3rd place finish.
