After Kisner's last hole heroics meant the Kisner/Brown team shot 60 and tied Blixt/Smith a Monday playoff was needed.  Four attempts were needed to separate the Foursomes and FourBall specialists.  Five Fantasy Leaguers were awaiting the result; Davie, Kwinigolfer, LadyPutt, and Robopz all had Kisner/Brown while Super_Realist was hoping Blixt/Smith would prevail.  Ultimately Smith holed his birdie putt and the first PGA Tour team win for some 30+ years.

The winner in the playoff didn't matter to Robo, it was just the case of deciding the margin of victory and over who.  Robo had three other scoring teams and was run close by SirBenson who had five scoring teams in total.  GPB also had five scoring teams which was all he had left after the MDF cut.  Kwini and EmmDee57 both had four scoring teams and Kwini just pipped Davie to a podium finish.  Davie had three scoring picks as did AlciG, Owen10ozzy, Pedro, Raycastleunited, Super_Realist, and TheCleaver.  Super earned the most finish points of all the Fantasy League and Owen and Ray had all their remaining teams score.

Be_the_Ball, Beninho, I'm Never Wrong, and LadyPutt all had two scoring teams and Eyetoldyouso had the one scoring team.

The Kisner/Brown team's 60 was their second low round in a row.  Davie, Kwinigolfer, LadyPutt, and Robopz all earned bonus points from that.

For the first time since the 1981 Walt Disney World Team Championship a team event will be an official event on the PGA Tour.  Teams of two will play Foursomes and FourBalls on alternate days.  Foursomes will be first folowed by the fourballs on Friday.  Teams making it through the cut of low 35 scores and ties will then resume with foursomes and finish with fourballs.

Same rules, same points apply; pick three teams from each category, top five lowest scoring teams in round one will earn points, points for teams with lowest score in each round, teams making the cut earn points, top ten lowest scoring teams in round three earn points, top 20 placed teams will earn points.  

Teams have been placed in categories based on their combined World Ranking total and are also listed in alphabetical order so the higher ranked player may be listed second.  The two standout teams are Jason Day & Rickie Fowler and Justin Rose & Henrik Stenson as all four are ranked in the top ten.  Two others, Hideki Matsuyama and Jordan Spieth, from the top ten are also participating.

There are three Categories where you will need to pick three teams, plus a reserve team, from each one.  There are bonus points available if you get all of your teams through in any category.  Get all 9 teams 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 teams as follows:

Pick 3 teams from each category, plus a reserve team 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.

Just thought this one could be a bit of fun really Kwini. It was either this or wait another week for the Wells Fargo. Could be some good possibilities lower down each category; the Koepka brothers are teaming up and Brooks is ranked in the top 20.

Cat A: Justin Rose/Henrik Stenson; Ryan Palmer/Jordan Spieth; Daniel Berger/Thomas Pieters (res: Sung Kang/Si Woo Kim)
Cat B: Scott Brown/Kevin Kisner; Geoff Ogilvy/Ian Poulter; Smylie Kaufman/Harold Varner III (res: Luke Donald/Jamie Lovemark)
Cat C: Derek Fathauer/Sam Saunders; Matt Every/Billy Horschel; Bryson DeChambeau/Rory Sabbatini (res: Brooks Koepka/Chase Koepka)

Interesting!

Hi 1GG. This is an excellent effort, thank you. I suppose I should wait for Kwini's "Notes" as he seems to be on form, but I have picked my names, so here we go.

CAT A
Branden Grace/Louis Oosthuizen
Hideki Matsuyama/Hideto Tanihara
Bud Cauley/Justin Thomas
(R) Sung Kang/Si Woo Kim

CAT B
Jason Dufner/Patton Kizzire
Geoff Ogilvy/Ian Poulter
Blayne Barber/Russell Henley
(R) Brian Harman/Johnson Wagner

CAT C
Ricky Barnes/Matt Jones
Whee Kim/Greg Owen
Bryson DeChambeau/Rory Sabbatini
(R) Gonzalo Fdez-Castano/Martin Flores

I wonder how many of us will pick the Ogilvy/Poulter partnership?

Daniel Berger (37) / Thomas Pieters (27)
Bud Cauley (126) / Justin Thomas (11)
Kevin Chappell (23) / Gary Woodland (42)
Graham DeLaet (110) / David Hearn (197)
Russell Knox (28) / Kevin Streelman (137)
Byeong Hun An (59) / Seung-Yul Noh (257)
Gonzalo Fdez-Castano (624) / Martin Flores (230)
Brooks Koepka (19) / Chase Koepka (1460)
Will MacKenzie (455) / Steve Marino (459)

RSVE
Branden Grace (22) / Louis Oosthuizen (31)
Fabian Gomez (124) / Jhonattan Vegas (60)
Matt Every (1129) / Billy Horschel (76)

This all looks bonkers, how did they get these teams, blind draw or something!

Ben, apparently:

Each of the top available players from the PGA TOUR Priority Rankings who commits to the tournament will choose his partner, who in turn must have PGA TOUR status unless he is chosen as a tournament sponsor exemption

DeChambeau/Sabbatini must be the a.sshole pairing of the week.

Like the sick, lame, and lazy, the last to be picked for games at school.

Sounds like Janis Ian . . . . . . . .
"And those whose names were never called
When choosing sides for basketball . . . . . "
. . . . or golf.

Foursomes proved easier for some than others.  The teams of Ryans; Ruffels and Palmer showed just that as both ended the day with 66s to take a one stroke lead after round one. Kyle Reifers and Jordan Spieth were their respective partners.

The Palmer/Spieth combo was selected by almost half of the Fantasy League with Davie, GPB, LadyPutt, Pedro, Raycastleunited, Robopz, SirBenson, and TheCleaver all cashing in.  Ray and SirB added another scoring team in Hoffman/Watney.  Hoffman/Watney were also chosen by Be_the_Ball and Super_Realist was the only other Fantasy Leaguer to score courtesy of Blixt/Smith.  Rounds of 67 were needed to score points.

With FourBalls up next teams will need to go low if they are to make the cut of top 35 teams and ties.

Cut bonuses proved very difficult to find in the Fantasy League; just 8 of a possible 48 were awarded.  Cat A proved especially problematic as the OWGR Dream Teams of Rose/Stenson, Day/Fowler, and Berger/Pieters all missed the cut.  Only one cut bonus was awarded in Cat A and that was to I'm Never Wrong. Eyetoldyouso lost all of his Cat A picks.  Cat B wasn't much better, just two were awarded; Davie and Kwinigolfer earned those.  Cat C was much better, five bonuses were awarded; AlciG, EmmDee57, Owen10ozzy, Pedro, and SirBenson.  Owen's bonus came courtesy of his three remaining picks.

EmmDee57 and Kwini have the most teams left with seven.  Davie, GPB, I'm Never Wrong, and SirBenson all have six teams left.  AlciG, Pedro, Robopz, and Super_Realist all have five teams left.  Beninho and TheCleaver both have two teams while Be_the_Ball, Eyetoldyouso, LadyPutt, Owenn10ozzy, and Raycastleunited all have three teams left.

With FourBall scoring likely to be low the cut line fell at -7. Some teams had too much to do and couldn't keep up.  21 Fantasy League teams packed up and with 42 teams left in the event a secondary MDF cut will be instigated.  Eleven teams made the cut on the number and eight of them are Fantasy League teams; they'll have to go low in the foursomes to make sure they are there for the final round.

Scoring was low and six teams, four of them picks, had 62s before the team of Goosen/Van Aswegen came in with a 60.  Owen10ozzy was the beneficiary of their fine play.

The weather and the format meant that scoring was tough in round three but with lots of picks left in a small field the chances of scoring points were very reasonable with rounds of 71 or lower needed. Three Fantasy Leaguers had all of their remaining teams score points and two of them also had Brown/Kisner who combined for a 67, the low round of the day. Robopz and Pedro had all five of their teams score while LadyPutt had all three of her teams score; Robo and LP had Brown/Kisner. SirBenson had four of his teams score. AlciG, EmmDee57, I'm Never Wrong, Kwinigolfer, and TheCleaver all had three scoring teams, Kwini also had Brown/Kisner. Davie, GPB, Raycastleunited, and Super_Realist all had two scoring teams; Davie was the last Fantasy Leaguer to have the Brown/Kisner combo. Be_the_Ball and Owen10ozzy also had a scoring team.

With 42 teams left there was a secondary cut at -6. Six teams fell at this mark, two of them were picks. Beninho, Davie, EmmDee57, and Kwinigolfer lost Fdez-Castano/Flores while GPB lost Schnierderjans/Werenski.

Lots of points will be awarded after round 4; victory could go to anyone.

After Kisner's last hole heroics meant the Kisner/Brown team shot 60 and tied Blixt/Smith a Monday playoff was needed.  Four attempts were needed to separate the Foursomes and FourBall specialists.  Five Fantasy Leaguers were awaiting the result; Davie, Kwinigolfer, LadyPutt, and Robopz all had Kisner/Brown while Super_Realist was hoping Blixt/Smith would prevail.  Ultimately Smith holed his birdie putt and the first PGA Tour team win for some 30+ years.

The winner in the playoff didn't matter to Robo, it was just the case of deciding the margin of victory and over who.  Robo had three other scoring teams and was run close by SirBenson who had five scoring teams in total.  GPB also had five scoring teams which was all he had left after the MDF cut.  Kwini and EmmDee57 both had four scoring teams and Kwini just pipped Davie to a podium finish.  Davie had three scoring picks as did AlciG, Owen10ozzy, Pedro, Raycastleunited, Super_Realist, and TheCleaver.  Super earned the most finish points of all the Fantasy League and Owen and Ray had all their remaining teams score.

Be_the_Ball, Beninho, I'm Never Wrong, and LadyPutt all had two scoring teams and Eyetoldyouso had the one scoring team.

The Kisner/Brown team's 60 was their second low round in a row.  Davie, Kwinigolfer, LadyPutt, and Robopz all earned bonus points from that.
