Welcome aboard!
If you’re new or curious or both, my entire archive is on the website. Go back and figure out what you want or need or ignore it completely.
Each week I’ll post the folks I believe will make some noise in different categories.
Remember, if you don’t like it, you get DOUBLE YOUR MONEY BACK!
Last Week – ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP @ SHERWOOD
THE CHOICE: Tyrrell Hatton
I started with Russell Henley and ended up with Tyrrell Hatton. Hatton was 17-under in the other three rounds that were not 76 on Saturday. I have no idea why I continue to slog through this format as I’m shite at picking winners. As you can see above, five of my seven choices are between T21 and T29.
Please kill me.
Safety Dance:
Players in here will appear obvious until I explain why they might not be. Remember “one” means ONCE, not again down the road.
Xander Schauffele – T17. Another top 25 as he played the weekend 12-under. Glad I didn’t panic.
Webb Simpson – T17. Didn’t fire on Sunday. He doesn’t have a daughter named ZOZO.
Patrick Reed – T14. TWO rounds in the 70s. 63 on Friday helped.
Matthew Wolff: So much for growing up around here and playing the course over 1,000 times. T50. There are no guarantees in fantasy golf.
Spicy:
Russell Henley – T4. Back-to-back top five finishes for the first time in his career. Chastened.
Matthew Fitzpatrick – T26. I’m about Fitzpatrick-ed out. I can’t catch him this season.
Hideki Matsuyama – T28. Announcer Voice: It was a shoot-out. He did not make enough putts.
Viktor Hovland – T47. Hit T9 GIR and broke 70 once. Lololololo.
3 AM at the Blackjack Table:
Thanks for reading this far. Winner Jason Kokrak came out of this category last week!
Joaquin Niemann – T17. Yep, that’s all 15-under gotcha this week.
Cameron Smith – T4. Nice cash on multiple fronts this week as he’s trending ferociously.
Sebastian Munoz – T14. Sat three back heading into Sunday but 72 stalled him out. He defends in two weeks in Houston but NOT AT THE SAME COURSE.
Kevin Kisner – T14. Loved him this week. Opened with 66 and closed with 66 but 73 on Saturday killed his chances for big cabbage.
This Week – Bermuda Championship
Get Horsed for Coursed HERE.
THE CHOICE: Will Zalatoris
No time like the present and I hope the time off helped him refocus on not only getting his card (easy) but knocking out the field for the 2 year (and the rest of this one) exemption.
Safety Dance:
Players in here will appear obvious until I explain why they might not be. Remember “one” means ONCE, not again down the road.
Brendon Todd: Should at least make you a cut haha.
Charley Hoffman: Irrationally high on him this week. Experience isn’t a bad thing in the breeze.
Emiliano Grillo: At least he’s won on TOUR.
Spicy:
Harold Varner, III: Not exactly cranking out top 10s but it seems like he’s gaining on it.
Kristoffer Ventura: Young enough not to care.
Doc Redman: Hits it too well for the wind to bother it.
3 AM at the Blackjack Table:
Adam Schenk, Padraig Harrington, Pat Perez, Matt Jones
Good Luck!

2018-19
My contributions for the major championships and PLAYERS selection were worse than bad so to still break the $10 million mark with those awful results was encouraging.
Another valuable lesson learned is that the Playoffs are for the big boys. Now, WHICH big boys make this more and more difficult and that’s why it’s enjoyable and maddening all at the same time. Only McIlroy and Woods have won the FedExCup twice so start there.
