In Round 3, three players shared the low round mark of 68.  In Round 4, four five players shared that score meaning that 26! low round bonuses were awarded.  Barragan, Beninho, Boyhyde, Incontinentia, Raycastleunited, and The Cleaver had two of the five.  Kwinigolfer had three of the five; see, I told you yesterday he was killing it.  The low scorers in order of popularity were Dustin Johnson again, Ryan Palmer, John Peterson, Chad Campbell, and Kyle Reifers.

Kwini had half of the Top 10 in his picks and another one on the threshold. He and Jimmy Walker managed to convert the 54 hole lead into a W pipping the charging Raycastleunited who also had six picks score points.  1GrumpyGolfer had five picks score points but they were of varying quality and didn't include Walker.  This saw him slide down the leaderboard as Davie, Beninho, and Incontinentia moved ahead with three, four, and four picks scoring points respectively; both Davie and Beninho had the 1-2 combo in Walker and Jordan Spieth.  BlueCoverman had that same combination in his four scoring picks and he finished level with 1GrumpyGolfer.  Hibbz and RedRage also picked the winner and had three and two picks score points.  Super_Realist had four of his picks score points in an unusually good performance for Super; expect a visit from the pee in a cup brigade soon...  CJB, EmmDee57, and LadyPutt all had four picks score but not enough high place finishes to earn lots of points.  Pedro also had four picks score but not all were for the right reasons.  Barragan, Boyhyde, SetupDetermines, and TheCleaver each had three picks score points.  I'm Never Wrong, McLaren, and SirBenson each had two picks score points.  Sand's lucky numbers weren't that lucky but he did have one pick score points.

Pedro's Michael Putnam had a bad day; his 83 was the worst of the day and to add insult to injury he finished last too.

TPC San Antonio hosts events on the PGA Tour and the Champions Tour.  For the PGA they play on the flatter but more difficult Oaks course.  You know, the one where Kevin Na took a 16 on a par 4 when he got stuck in the rocks and undergrowth.  It's one of the toughest events in relation to par.  Last year's winner, Steven Bowditch, won the war of attrition on the last day.  His 76 was the second highest final round winning score in a non major event.  Out of the last nine champions only Adam Scott is missing and Zach Johnson and Justin Leonard have multiple wins here.  Johnson went back to back in 2008/9 and Leonard has three Texas Open titles including back to back from 2000/1; his latest win was in 2007.

A trio of Top 10 OWGR Americans headline the field in Jordan Spieth, Jim Furyk, and Dustin Johnson.  18 of the Top 50 are here and for those Bubble Boys just outside this is your final opportunity to make it to the Masters via the Top 50.  If you don't you'll have one last chance to go big or stay home by winning Houston next week.  Brendon Todd, Marc Warren, and Harris English are 51-53 respectively.

There are three Categories where you will need pick three players, plus reserve, from each one.  There are bonus points available if you get all of your picks through in any category.  Get all 9 picks through and you get an even bigger bonus.  It's all way down at the bottom in the scoring section if you are interested.

This is a full field with cut event, cut points will be available; see above.

RULES

Picking players: Unless stated, pick a total of 9 players as follows:

Pick 3 players from each category, plus a reserve per category.

Event winner: The person with the most total points at the completion of each event will be declared the winner. In case of a tie, those involved will match-off each picks' final position score in descending order. i.e. Player A's best finish vs. Player B's best finish, Player A's 2nd best finish vs. Player B's 2nd best finish, etc... until one's pick finishes better than the other(s).

If there is a tie after all 9 picks have been matched against each other, those involved will be declared co-winners.

Order of Merit: The person with the most total points at the completion of the season will be declared the Fantasy League Champion. If there is a tie for total points at the completion of the season, those involved will be declared Co-Champions.

Player Withdrawals: If you pick a player who withdraws during a tournament, that player will be eligble for points for all completed rounds and making the cut if they withdraw after the cut. It must be apparent that the player completed their round for them to be eligible for either the low round, worse round, top 5, or top 10 low round scores.  If a player withdraws before starting the tournament then your reserve will be put in that player's place.

It is up to you to check that your players are in the starting field.

Holidays / Absences: If you will be absent for an upcoming event (e.g holidays) you may post the numbers on the most recent fantasy league event and the respective tournament(s) that apply.  Example: Pick 3 players and 1 reserve from each category and the relative event number or name: Players 4, 5, and 8, reserve 9 from Category A, players 1, 3, and 7, reserve 5 from Category B, players 1, 2 and 17, reserve 12 from Category C, Event #12.

Failure to submit picks: If you do not submit picks you will be awarded zero points.

Deadlines: Picks must ideally be submitted before the first drive is struck on the first day of the tournament. However, late picks submitted after the tournament has begun must be for players who have yet to start (or are not showing a score on europeantour.com, PGATour.com, etc.), and these will not be valid unless they are seconded by any other league member.

All fantasy league disputes and discrepancies will be considered by the League Judge: LadyPutt. All decisions made by the League Judge are final.

Despite the high scoring nearly everyone earned a cut bonus.  Seven Fantasy Leaguers earned more than one and, one managed the Holy Grail in earning all of the cut bonuses; take a bow Kwinigolfer.  Four others (CJB, McLaren, Raycastleunited, and Super_Realist) came close, losing just one pick, and McLaren missed it by just one shot.  1GrumpyGolfer and Incontinentia were the other two to earn two bonuses.  Ten Fantasy Leaguers earned one cut bonus.  Five or six picks through was the most common, two Fantasy Leaguers have four picks left, one of which was the hampered SetupDetermines who only had seven left after round one anyway.

Jimmy Walker and Carlos Ortiz shared the low round of the day with 67s.  Eight Fantasy Leaguers including Kwini picked Walker.  Kwini unsurprisingly is at the top of the leaderboard having snuck ahead of Super_Realist.  SirBenson, another to be hit by a WD, and Barragan are propping up the leaderboard.  Derek Ernst had the worst round of the day with an 84.

Round 3 saw three picks shoot 68 to tie for the Low Round Score.  Fourteen Fantasy Leaguers had one of these three players and four of them doubled up with another Low Round Scorer.  Dustin Johnson was the most popular pick, Matt Jones the next, and then Gary Woodland.  Two other players in Jimmy Walker and Luke Guthrie had a score that earned points.  Walker was picked by eight Fantasy Leaguers, Guthrie just one.  

Almost all Fantasy Leaguers scored points and Davie had the most with three picks scoring.  Seven Fantasy Leaguers had two picks score points; 1GrumpyGolfer, Barragan, and McLaren had two Low Round Scorers while BlueCoverman, Hibbz, Raycastleunited, and RedRage had a Low Round Scorer and Jimmy Walker.  Six other Fantasy Leaguers had a Low Round scorer, three had Walker, and one other had Guthrie.

Robert Garrigus shot 81 for the worst round but no one picked him.

Has anyone ever placed bets on the basis of their fantasy picks?

I usually have a small bet on the PGA events (or bigger Euro events) and of course go with the same ones I pick here

Not been great in recent weeks but this week I have both Walker and Spieth each way (only a couple of quid on each so not life changing). Barring disasters it should top up my account enough to keep my awful football bets going for a few more weeks

Does having 4 guys in the top 10 usually get it done/won?

Think Kwini has killed this one; 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and that's as far as I got. Mac's top spot may be in doubt this week.

In Round 3, three players shared the low round mark of 68. In Round 4, four five players shared that score meaning that 26! low round bonuses were awarded. Barragan, Beninho, Boyhyde, Incontinentia, Raycastleunited, and The Cleaver had two of the five. Kwinigolfer had three of the five; see, I told you yesterday he was killing it. The low scorers in order of popularity were Dustin Johnson again, Ryan Palmer, John Peterson, Chad Campbell, and Kyle Reifers.

Kwini had half of the Top 10 in his picks and another one on the threshold. He and Jimmy Walker managed to convert the 54 hole lead into a W pipping the charging Raycastleunited who also had six picks score points. 1GrumpyGolfer had five picks score points but they were of varying quality and didn't include Walker. This saw him slide down the leaderboard as Davie, Beninho, and Incontinentia moved ahead with three, four, and four picks scoring points respectively; both Davie and Beninho had the 1-2 combo in Walker and Jordan Spieth. BlueCoverman had that same combination in his four scoring picks and he finished level with 1GrumpyGolfer. Hibbz and RedRage also picked the winner and had three and two picks score points. Super_Realist had four of his picks score points in an unusually good performance for Super; expect a visit from the pee in a cup brigade soon... CJB, EmmDee57, and LadyPutt all had four picks score but not enough high place finishes to earn lots of points. Pedro also had four picks score but not all were for the right reasons. Barragan, Boyhyde, SetupDetermines, and TheCleaver each had three picks score points. I'm Never Wrong, McLaren, and SirBenson each had two picks score points. Sand's lucky numbers weren't that lucky but he did have one pick score points.

Pedro's Michael Putnam had a bad day; his 83 was the worst of the day and to add insult to injury he finished last too.

Sorry Inco, I missed this. I don't know, I suppose at the time of writing you were looking good but six people ultimately picked the first and second place finishers. 11 of the top 14 players were picked and obviously the more you have the more points you'll score. Just look at Kwini; his first five picks finished inside the top 10.

No worries Grump, thanks for your efforts!

7 of my 9 players played on the bad side of the draw, will need to keep a look at weather forecasts then lol!

Thanks Grumps! And congrats Kwini!
