Hideki Matsuyama blew away the field with a dominant performance in the WGC HSBC Champions.  Only three Fantasy Leaguers picked Matsuyama and it's no surprise that they are at the top of the leaderboard.  Beninho in his first event in a while put in a Matsuyama like performance in securing the win.  He had two other players in the top ten.  Owen10ozzy and SirBenson also added two other scoring picks.  Super_Realist had the most scoring picks with five of his six scoring.  Eyetoldyouso and LadyPutt each had four scoring picks while SetupDetermines was the final Fantasy Leaguer to have three scoring picks.  Davie, GolferMartin, I'm Never Wrong, Pedro, and Raycastleunited each had two scoring picks of varying quality.  AlciG, BlueCoverman, EmmDee57, Kwinigolfer, Sand, and TheCleaver all had one scoring pick.

Henrik Stenson and Matthew Fitzpatrick shot 65 for the low round of the day.  Stenson earned points for GolferMartin.

A lot of the world's best players and a few others take to the stage for the final WGC event of 2016.  Dustin Johnson headlines as the top ranked player in the field while Russell Knox is back to defend his title.  

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 but additional points are available in round two.

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.

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.
