well just about the time you figure Phil Mickelson is gonna SUCK the guy comes up with a tourney. tied 1st with Ryan Moore (another loser lately) @ [-10] after 2nd round. 5 more close @ [-9] including still on the course Wyndham winner Brandt Snedeker and the Austrian rookie "first timer" Sepp Straka who I have followed some in Euro Tour events

looks like the CUT will be @ [-3]

 

[B.A.R.]

FIG had his worst warm-up of the year before yesterday and look now.

 

[LeRinkRat]

well Brandt Snedeker in his Wyndham Championship form with a 2nd round [-7] for tourney [-13] and a three shot lead over Phil Mickelson [-3], Ryan Moore [-5] and OWGR #302 player Michael Thompson [-7] for [-10]. Korean rookie Sungjae Im [-3], Austrian Euro Tour player Sepp Straka [even] and PGA Journeyman Kevin Tway [-5] all @ [-9]. round of the day for the PGA "fringe" player Rickie Barnes with a [-11] "bomber" 61 for tourney [-8] along with five others

CUT came @ [-3]

looks like it is gonna be "splitski" on my two tourney match plays:
Brandt Snedeker +165 [-7] for [-13] over Patrick Cantlay [-4] for [-7]
Joaquin Niemann -110 [+1] for [-3] over Phil Mickelson [-3] for [-10]

 

[LeRinkRat]

AND Brandt Snedeker 3rd round [-3] for tourney [-16] retains a three shot lead over Kevin Tway [-4] for [-13]. the Korean rookie Sungjae Im solo 3rd with [-3] for [-12] then Bill Haas finally having a decent tourney solo 4th [-5] for [-11]. four more tied 5th @ [-10]. looks like Snedeker's to WIN

and speaking of THAT my tourney match plays about the same as after Friday

Brandt Snedeker +165 [-3] for [-16] over Patrick Cantlay [+1] for [-6] 10 up
Joaquin Niemann -110 [+3] for [even] over Phil Mickelson [+2] for [-8] 8 down

HOW the HELL Joaquin Niemann was a 25-1 third fav this week is beyond me

 

[LeRinkRat]

well I'll be swizzled. three way TIE Sunday with Brandt Snedeker [+2], Kevin Tway [-1] and Ryan Moore [-5] for tourney [-14] end of regulation. Snedeker eliminated the 1st round of the playoff and Moore the 2nd to give Kevin Tway the WIN!!! BIG for Tway who now qualifies for the Masters and picks up a two year exemption from qualifying. I did NOT expect Snedeker to BLOW a three shot lead

five more players finish one shot back @ [-13] including my "to win" players Troy Merritt and Sam Ryder. BIG tourney for the Korean rookie Sung-jae Im who picks up just over $240K in the tied 4th [-13] group

as expected a "splitski" in my two tourney match plays
Brandt Snedeker +165 [+2] for [-14] over Patrick Cantlay [-2] for [-8] WIN 6 up
Joaquin Niemann -110 3rd round MDF over [even] for [-8] (55 /105) lose MDF

the tour goes to asia for the next three with CIMB Classic @ Kuala Lumpur next week followed by the CJ Cup @ Nine Bridges on Jeju Island, South Korea and WGC-HSBC Champions @ Shanghai, China which is a Euro Tour co-sponsor event :shake:

i know i'm late chiming in. it still hurts. I had a to win for Snedeker and to win for Ryan Moore. Even when Snedeker choked and it went to playoff, i told myself it will be okay. Nope. Underdog tway comes through bailing himself on wayward teeshots. I'm still crying inside over it. I had $50 to win $1200 for Moore and $50 to win $1100 for Snedeker. Love that you do these. Will be looking at Valderama with you.
