0-2 rd.3 -11u, +1u for the tourney. Gonna take my 1u winnings to the course tomorrow and see if I can double it from my foursome.
Lucky to have open parlays with the following guys to win, 1u each, just counting the last leg towards record.
Morikawa +105
Henley +270
Connors +650
Day +1000
Rooting for Day, obviously but I’ll take any of em for the dub. Gonna be a tough going tomorrow, GL on your plays

Sergio Garcia going nuts in the final round of LIV....
That sucks.
Why?
I have Philly 200-1 to win this thing.
3 holes left for most golfers...
Standings
Phil started today 3 shots back, is -5 and has lost ground. That's golf!
BUT...
I also took Phil 20-1 for a top 10.
Please don't do anything stupid these last 3 holes!! He's played so good this week.
I actually have some more Phil thoughts when we get a Masters thread started sooner rather than later ...

Have you been watching the golf or just following the results? Interested in DJ fades for Augusta. Is he playing as bad as his scores suggest? Recently dropped from TM. He looks to be in a bad place. Curious on your thoughts on him.
I haven't watched a lot of LIV -- biggest reason is the times it's on --
I think DJ got his money and is checked out ? Who knows.

Bump. Set. Shuma!
Curious when you guys cap, I'm not good at the WC swing or Florida at all. I think they are so completely different that guys are either good or bad at them because the greens are so different. I ask because while I don't care much about Sawgrass, I wonder how all of it translates to Augusta.

Did pretty well, even being disappointed with Lowry's weekend. Onto Sawgrass. I'm currently out of town for CE/kids spring break, so may not be able to post too much.
My OAD requires that we pick 2 golfers for the Players and the majors. I've never done this before, curious if anyone has any strategy here? Go for 2 big guns? One top guy and one flyer? Not sure how I want to attack it yet

I have to do it every Nov/Dec and it sucks. At least the company pays for it.

A few years ago I started only taking classes on stuff I really want to learn about. It's expensive, but I enjoy it far more and it usually translates to me being better at my job. We're staying at the Fairmont Princess in Scottsdale right now (I can see #5 tee box on TPC Scottsdale when I walk out the door) and my kids are blown away. Headed up to Sedona tomorrow night for a few nights. Unfortunately the weather won't be great, but I'm sure we'll manage

I remember that from last year.
This is nice.
Straka is a pick many in my group like.
The Ghim reaper is one we chatted about tonight as well!.
GL bud.
Mike Kim has been awesome this year -- right on the doorstep.
I'm curious if/when the fatigue shows up. He's been playing every single week.
He did get tired a few weeks back (his words) on the weekend but then immediately had great finishes these last two weeks.

Guys I've come across during DFS prep (trying to be like BAR):
Brian Harman
Christiaan Bezuidenhout
Corey Conners
Aaron Rai
Sepp Straka (though a little tarnished since he's #1 in pgatour.com's power rankings)
I like Shane Lowry again. I'm not ready to back him to win (yet), but I think I'll have some Xander positions among my bets. Might have some Wyndham Clark too
Max Homa on auto fade. Will likely fade Spieth too.

The Players full tourney match ups:
Fowler -105 vs Fitzpatrick
Spaun -115 vs A Scott
I think these guys are trending the right way. These aren’t fades on the opponents, but I do have doubts with them. Basically just want some action to follow. Round by round plays may present themselves as the week progresses. I like the theegala fade but not laying -155 on Bhatia to wager on it. Eyeing Homa and cam young fades in single round opportunities. Best of luck with your plays this week.

The definition of a psycho score card.
His spot on my 'perma-yips' list is now being occupied by Hovland.

Head of Alabama Department of Decision-Making
Yeah Hovland is in a bad place. He is entering Homa auto-fade territory. But today looked like vintage Spieth and he is now firmly on my radar for the Masters
Yeah Max and Vik fades are auto basically.
Man, Vik had it all going and then decided to "switch things up".
Ugh.
I read a great article on Jordan late last night. I almost placed him in a lineup.
Nope.
A Masters win by Spieth would be a HUGE moment for the tour during these weird times.
He just has the 'it' factor that the fans like a lot.
Crazy that we're a decade past his true breakout.
