Kwinigolfer may have been looking over his shoulder to keep tabs on Hibbz but he should have looked the other way as Sand came racing up the outside and blew the field away.  Sand had five of his picks score including eventual winner Rickie Fowler.  Kwinigolfer had four picks score as he settled for joint second with Owen10ozzy and SetupDetermines who both had four picks score.  LadyPutt was the other Fantasy Leaguer to have four picks score.  Out of the four score group it was just SetupDetermines who had the winner.  BlueCoverman, EmmDee57, I'm Never Wrong, Pedro, and SirBenson each had three picks score althoug Pedro was the only one not to have the winner from that group.  Beninho, Davie, Hibbz, Kouchi, Raycastleunited, and RedRage all had two picks score and Hibbz and Davie had the better quality picks in that group.  1GrumpyGolfer, AlciG, Eyetoldyouso, McLaren, and Super_Realist all had one pick score and there was great variation in the quality.

Fantasy League pick Marc Warren was one of two players to shoot 64 for the low round of the day.  That earned points for Kwinigolfer, LadyPutt, Owen10ozzy, and Sand.  Rikard Karlberg was the other player to shoot 64.  At the other end of the leaderboard popular pick Michael Hoey joined the not so popular pick of Lucas Bjerregaard in shooting 77 to tie for the worst round of the day.  1GrumpyGolfer, Beninho, I'm Never Wrong, Kouchi, Kwinigolfer, Raycastleunited, and Sand picked up points here.  Kwinigolfer had both of them!  Jordi Garcia Pinto finished in last place on +5.

With news of Rory McIlroy's self inflicted injury dominating headlines, just who is going to headline the Scottish Open?  Step forward Justin Rose, the top ranked player in the field who just so happens to be the defending champion to boot.  Rose will be attempting to defend his title won at Royal Aberdeen over a composite course at Gullane; 16 holes from number 1 and 2 from number 2 make up the course.

Big name Americans are getting their last minute preparations in for the Open Championship next week; Rickie Fowler, Jimmy Walker, Matt Kuchar, and former Scottish Open winner Phil Mickelson are all here.  Other former winners in the field include Jeev Milkha Singh, Luke Donald, Edoardo Molinari, Graeme McDowell, Gregory Havret, Johan Edfors, Thomas Levet, Colin Montgomerie, and Thomas Bjorn.  Although players in that list from Molinari to Bjorn won at Loch Lomond before it was switched to a links venue.

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 eligible 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 or PM them to me.  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.

Wow another win for me. I am either winning or mediocre, nothing in between at this game.

Sorry Kwini..

Well done Sand.
Wasn't looking over my shoulder so much as expecting to be overwhelmed by the field - too many middle-of-the-roaders on the weekend.

Cheers Grumps, now back to Blizzard Beach . . . . . .

Congrats Sand! Nice victory, I think you owe Fowler one after that victory! Needless to say I won't be picking him for the Open....always seems to finish in mid obscurity following a win leading into a major (we'll probably not but that's the feeling I get with him)

I'm extremely chuffed with my position...a joint 2nd and 3rd in my first 3 events shows I must have been picking up some knowledge over these past couple of years!

Best of luck to everyone for THE Open

Others here can probably provide the exact numbers but I think you'll find Rickie has been one of the top performing players in all Majors for the last couple of years. Never quite making the final push but been there or thereabouts in most of them

That's what I mean davie; mid obscurity was a bit of an ott comment but he can never seemingly on in there. He is always in the discussions leading into a major. as has been said plenty of times 'it's only a matter of time before he wins one'....however how long have we been saying that now? He may indeed pick up one or two but equally I can imagine 5 years from now people are saying the same thing!
