William McGirt made it three first-time winners in a row and four out of the last seven since Justin Rose in 2010.

PGA Tour Fantasy Golf Game

Each week, I’ll trot out guys who I believe who fit the course, the game and the road map, plus add some substitutes. Four starters are supported by two bench players each week. Remember, once a player tees off in your lineup he burns a start, so make sure you need to sub out instead of want to sub out.

You’ll learn a few things about me each week in this column.

Games, like this one, that involve daily substitution options, I am terrible at playing.

I’ll give you my best four starters and two bench options but it’s up to you to outguess me on which rounds they should sit or play.

Another week that saw me drop a few more spots!

Member Ryan Palmer forgot how to play his home track on the weekend and luckily I had his 18 points in the lineup on Saturday.

I guess I should have rolled with Steve Stricker instead.

Fantasy golf, eh?

 

This Week

I’m looking for a bit of balance this week but the default is leaning on power players who take advantage of the par fives.

With three, first-time winners in the last three years and four in the last seven, don’t be surprised if you’re scratching your head on Sunday evening.

There is this week and two more left in the segment so FIRE, FIRE FIRE!

But.

Make sure you’re armed for Erin Hills, site of the 2017 U.S. Open.

  

Lineup is subject to change if waves/weather are determined to be a problem.

 

Alternate Alternatives

Hell, I’d have no problem with these six guys either!
