While Sergio and Justin served up a thrilling conclusion to the Masters it was quite a procession in the Fantasy League behind Kwinigolfer.  He may not have top scored in the finish placings or had the most picks score but he was work was almost done after round three.  Owen10ozzy had all of his remaining five picks finish in the points but slips by Spieth and Westwood were countered by Casey and McIlroy.  The lot of Fantasy Leaguers had three picks score points.  Beninho, EmmDee57, Eyetoldyouso, Kwini, LadyPutt, Raycastleunited, Robopz, Sand, and SirBenson all did so.  Be_the_Ball, Davie, GPB, I'm Never Wrong, Pedro, SetupDetermines, Super_Realist, TheCleaver, and WireTapper all had two picks score points and in Setup's case they were good ones; he top scored and was the only one to pick Sergio.  AlciG, and McLaren both had one scoring pick; Alci's came courtesy of Hideki Matsuyama's final round 67 which tied for low round of the day.

Matt Kuchar also shot 67 to move up the leaderboard while in the race for Low Amateur, pick Curtis Luck gained another shot on Stewart Hagestad but it wasn't enough to earn the bonus points on offer.

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 94 entrants to this year’s tournament including the last minute addition of Russell Henley by virtue of his win in Houston. There is a very top heavy field, even better than the WGC Matchplay; the first 62 ranked players are at Augusta and another 10 are from inside the top 100.  In the field are 20 first timers, 5 amateurs, and 15 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 five 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.

Well done Setup, great return.

I thought about picking him - should have stuck to my guns. Never mind, I'm thrilled for him (unlike some of the Sergio haters on here ).

Aah now hang on a second INW, granted you are 2-0 up in "Regular" events but I have a *coughs* Major!

Cheers Grumps
Well done Kwini

Well done Kwini   blew the field away

Thanks Grumps
