AlciG missed out on Justin Thomas but that didn't matter too much as he three scoring picks inside the top five places and another scoring pick within the top fifteen.  Add two low round scorers into the mix and you get a pretty barnstorming finish.  His nearest challenger turned out to be Super_Realist who had three scoring picks and a low round scorer.  Davie, GPB, Kwinigolfer, Owen10ozzy, Raycastleunited, SetupDetermines, SirBenson, and TheCleaver also had three scoring picks.  Eyetoldyouso slipped back as he had just two scoring picks , I'm Never Wrong, LadyPutt, and Pedro also had two scoring picks.  Both Sand and WireTapper had just the one scoring pick.

There were five players tied for low round of the day with rounds of 67.  Four of those were picks and by far the most popular was Rickie Fowler as he appeared in seven selections.  Dustin Johnson appeared in three, Patrick Reed in two, and Marc Leishman was selected once.  Franceso Molinari was the only one not to be a pick.   Kwinigolfer and SirBenson doubled up two of the low round scorers.

Omar Uresti was confirmed as the Low Club Professional; Pedro and Sand picked up the points for correctly guessing Uresti.

________________________________________________________________________

The PGA Championship visits a renovated Quail Hollow where Jordan Spieth looks to be the youngest player to complete the full set of majors.  Jimmy Walker is the defending champion having won at Baltursol last year.  Other former champions in the field include Jason Day, Rory McIlroy, Keegan Bradley, Y.E. Yang, Padraig Harrington, Phil Mickelson, Vijay Singh, Shaun Micheel, Rich Beem, Davis Love III, and John Daly.  Two former winners in the last 10 years are missing from the field; Martin Kaymer and Tiger Woods.  McIlroy and Singh are the only former winners playing to have won more than one PGA Championship.

There are 20 Club Professionals in the field, identified by (CP) after their name, so we will have a separate pick for Low Club Professional. The Low Club Professional 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 Club Professional after four rounds; if no Club Professional make the cut then no points will be awarded.

There are three Categories where you will need pick three players, plus reserve, from each one.  There are bonus points available if you get all of your picks through in any category.  Get all 9 picks 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 10 players as follows:

Pick 3 players from each category, plus a reserve per category.
Pick 1 Club Professional identified by (CP) 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 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.

AlciG, unless the good Lady Judge objects, Matsuyama is probably okay as he would've been on his first hole when selected

Sorry... I had forgotten all about this. Didn't even know it had started when I posted my picks

The first players started about 20 minutes before you posted so it was close

My goodness, Quail Hollow looks a rubbish course.

Quail Hollow showed itself as a very different proposition to what the players are used to as the 99th PGA Championship looked and played like another US Open.  Scoring was tough; just twenty four players managed to beat par and the leading rounds were 67s.  Davie's Kevin Kisner matched Thorbjorn Olesen as both finished with a rare birdie on the 18th hole.

Five players, three picks, shot 68 to round out the Top 5 Low Round scores.  Three Fantasy Leaguers, LadyPutt, Owen10ozzy, and Super_Realist, picked Brooks Koepka while SetupDetermines had the two other picks, Chris Stroud and D.A. Points, that scored points.  

Club Professional, Omar Uresti, looks be in with a shout of making the cut after a round of 74 while some of the others will be telling their grandchildren that they were ahead of 2016 Champion, Jimmy Walker, after round one however, the only way they'll play the weekend is if round two gets suspended.

Surprised no one picked Thunderbear. He used to have his loyal followers and posted a top 10 at last weeks WGC.

I have him in my European tour fantasy team & bunkered one.

Forgot to put him in here...doh !

With the delayed finish to the second round the next update won't be made until the third round is well underway.

A rain delay caused some problems for the players meaning some got their skates on as they tried to beat fading light and avoid coming back early to finish on Saturday morning. The rain did mean that conditions became a little easier but play still needed to be good to take advantage.

The cut line ultimately fell at 147 and for some that was too few while others were comfortably below that mark. Eyetoldyouso had all of his picks below 147 and earned beaucoup de cut points. Two other Fantasy Leaguers earned two cut bonuses, both from Categories A and C; GPB lost one pick and Kwinigolfer lost two picks. AlciG, I'm Never Wrong, Raycastleunited, and SirBenson also had seven picks through to the weekend but just the one cut bonus from Category A. Owen10ozzy, Pedro, SetupDetermines, Super_Realist, TheCleaver, and WireTapper all have six picks left; all bar Setup earned a cut bonus from Category A. Be_the_Ball, Davie, and Sand all have five picks left, BtB and Sand earned the final cut bonuses from Cateogry A. LadyPutt has just three picks left.

Two players shot 64 to tie for the low round of the day. Francesco Molinari matched Hideki Matsuyama but no picked Molinari. Eight Fantasy Leaguers picked Matsuyama; AlciG, Davie, GPB, I'm Never Wrong, Owen10ozzy, Pedro, Raycastleunited, and Sand all earned points from Matusyama.

The race for Low Club Professional is done. Omar Uresti shot 70 in the second round to become the first Club Pro to make the cut since 2015. Pedro and Sand earn 30 bonus points from Uresti's achievement.

The Jason Day horror show came to a fairway near Charlotte as he took a promising position near the top of the leaderboard and whacked and hacked his way to big number. While the leaders struggled to break par it wasn't so much of a problem for Fantasy League picks J.B. Holmes and Satoshi Kodaira who both shot 67 to tie for the low round of the day. Scores of 69 or lower were needed to make the Top 10 Low Round scores. Three other picks managed that and Super_Realist had two of the three in Graham DeLaet and Patrick Reed. I'm Never Wrong also picked DeLaet while AlicG joined Super in having Reed in his selections. Sand picked Kevin Chappell who was the final pick to score. SetupDetermines picked Holmes and TheCleaver picked Kodaira.

Well, someone has to prop up the leaderboard!

So I'm thinking LadyPutt said no to my Hideki pick and I got my reserve?

Oh! Did she? I'll have to redo the entire scores. How about we just leave it

I don't want to cause you more work, so lets

Hideki was looking pretty good for you until he started the back nine. Thomas trying to make it interesting as he tries to get into the clubhouse.

Looks like I will miss out on both this and sportforms events

AlciG missed out on Justin Thomas but that didn't matter too much as he three scoring picks inside the top five places and another scoring pick within the top fifteen.  Add two low round scorers into the mix and you get a pretty barnstorming finish.  His nearest challenger turned out to be Super_Realist who had three scoring picks and a low round scorer.  Davie, GPB, Kwinigolfer, Owen10ozzy, Raycastleunited, SetupDetermines, SirBenson, and TheCleaver also had three scoring picks.  Eyetoldyouso slipped back as he had just two scoring picks , I'm Never Wrong, LadyPutt, and Pedro also had two scoring picks.  Both Sand and WireTapper had just the one scoring pick.

There were five players tied for low round of the day with rounds of 67.  Four of those were picks and by far the most popular was Rickie Fowler as he appeared in seven selections.  Dustin Johnson appeared in three, Patrick Reed in two, and Marc Leishman was selected once.  Franceso Molinari was the only one not to be a pick.   Kwinigolfer and SirBenson doubled up two of the low round scorers.

Omar Uresti was confirmed as the Low Club Professional; Pedro and Sand picked up the points for correctly guessing Uresti.
