Fantasy Game for 2012 Majors, The Players, and US-based WGC's: The Cadillac Championship

First topic message reminder :

NOTE: BY POPULAR DEMAND I'M ADDING THE PLAYERS TO FILL THE GAP BETWEEN AUGUSTA AND THE US OPEN.

Rules:
There are four Major, The Players, and three US-based World Golf Championships.

For each event choose one golfer. You will not be able to choose that golfer again.
The prize-money your chosen golfer earns in the selected event accrues, notionally of course, in your account, but for that specific event only.
So, by the time of completion of the PGA Championship in August, you will have selected eight players and, with good judgement or good fortune or both, have accrued eight pay cheques. The fantasy contestant with the highest accrued earnings is the winner.

For each event's new thread the contestants will be shown in alphabetical order with their earnings to date and golfers no longer available. I will edit each thread at least daily to show selections made.

The remaining events are:
The Masters in April, The Players in May, US Open in June, The Open Championship in July, WGC Bridgestone in August, PGA Championship in August.




The prize money will be the same as for the Match Play, so this breakdown will offer some idea what to expect! No cut!! But no notional earnings for anyone withdrawing during the event. Official Money only!!

2011 prizemoney, expected to be similar this year:
Winner: $1,400,000
2nd: $850K
3rd: $600K
4th: $490K
5th: $270K
9th: $140K
17th: $95K



You are advised to nominate a substitute in case there is a last minute withdrawal. If the sub plays you may not be use him again, but the original selection who withdrew can be used again.

These are your selections and money earned to date. Remember, you can't make the same pick again this year. (Please check that your name is on the list; all are welcome so hope any who haven't done so will be in touch . . . . . ) If you didn't make a selection for the MatchPlay or Cadillac, you are still welcome to participate; with five notable exceptions, you won't be far behind!

Hi kwini,

Skanks 2-0 in the Grapefruit action. Time to leave the ice and get back to the dirt and grass.

Hey Kwini, I think I'll got for Dustin Johnson for the Cadillac Championship, Charl Schwartzel in reserve please.

Cheers Kwinski,

That's a rubbish pick.

Is he trying to clean up?

Can I have Westwood as my pick with Watney as back up.

Thanks

Donald/Garcia please.

Can I also bet on Vasiley Zaitsev to snipe Woods from the trees. Cheers.

Westwood then Tiger please.

Hi Kwini
Having spent an age agonising over my choice I finally made up my mind and then find I could have simply copied s-r, though more inclined to go with Woods hitting someone in the trees than vice versa if we're doing sub plots.
Anyway - Donald (sub Garcia) please

Hi Kwini

Can I have Schwartzel with Westwood as the reserve, thanks

G'day Kwini,

Woods, sub - Day.

Hi Kwini, not much shouting....out in round 1.......as the teacher says..you must try harder next time...anyway will go for

Feeling Bubba Watson for this one. Webb Simpson as reserve sil vous plait.

shudofhita4iron: You chose Webb Simpson for the MatchPlay - you can't beat a dead horse twice! If I don't hear from you I'll substitute Keegs.

Sporty: Do you want to niminate a sub?i

Hi Kwini
