For the fourth week in a row it’s Bentgrass on Tour.

For the third week in a row it’s par 70.

For the second week in a row it’s a “new” venue.

Happy Birthday America!

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.

 

Last Week — QLN

Woof.

Dropped almost 50 spots as holding Fowler back was the first mistake I made. The second was having three of my six MC (Steele, Thomas and Chappell) and being one light on the weekend.

I’ll hope to recoup the Fowler points down the road when everyone else has burned him. The plan right now for him is Royal Birkdale, Quail Hollow and TPC Boston so we’ll see how this works out.

It also didn’t help that Patrick Reed finished T-17 on the leaderboard and finish 53rd in scoring in this format.

I’ve taken a punch or two before and I’ve gotten off the canvass.

Let’s have it!

 

This Week

Fireworks.

Easy course that has been redone on the greens and bunkers should open the field up to just about everyone.

I’m going to try and jump back into the top 100 with a few big boys and maybe a long shot or two.

I’ll repeat this: If you’re saving starts, make sure you are in a position that saving starts MEANS SOMETHING late in the Playoffs. If you’re not in that position, you’ll have to activate your plans earlier to catch up.

 

Alternate Alternatives

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