Last week:

There was no mystery in my final selection as Justin Thomas was penciled in for a while. I hope you read The Confidence Factor if you had other questions.

This Year:

• Two late victories pushed me into the top 10 of Spotter’s game and I picked three winners on the season.
• All four majors selections hit the top 10.
• All four WGC events stunk minus Reed at Match Play.
• Seven MC were dire but the most punishing one was Francesco Molinari at THE PLAYERS. We know what happened after that but you CANNOT MISS with that prize pool! Just cannot.
• I selected Cameron Smith for the BMW Championship not aware that I already selected him for the RBC Heritage. My default pick that week was Gary Woodland. Lucky ducky me! Make sure your game uses a back-up selection!
