Charl Schwartzel shot a final round, low round of 67 to post 277 for the clubhouse lead and then waited for the final groups to finish.  Ultimately it was enough to tie for the lead with Bill Haas and a playoff was needed.  Failure from a greenside bunker ultimately cost Haas and Schawrtzel made par to win.

In the Fantasy League it wasn't even anywhere close to what happened in Florida.  GolferMartin flattened and almost lapped most of the competition; handicapping may have to come into play.  He was one of three to pick Schwartzel and he was one of three to pick third placed finisher Ryan Moore.  He added three other scoring picks for good measure.  I'm Never Wrong had five picks score but the best was a seventh placed finish.  SirBenson was one of four Fantasy Leaguers to have four picks score but his best finisher was Moore.  1GrumpyGolfer, BlueCoverman, and Sand were the other three but they didn't have enough quality to threaten GolferMartin.  Hibbz was the second best placed finisher from those that selected Schwartzel and he had two other picks score points.  AlciG, BobtheJob, Davie, EmmDee57, Eyetoldyouso, LadyPutt, Pedro, and Raycastleunited were the other Fantasy Leaguers to have three scoring picks.  Super_Realist may have only had two scoring picks but when one of them is Schwartzel that will help considerably.  His finish points haul was enough to leap from bottom place to a top six finish.  Beninho, Kwinigolfer, McLaren, MustPuttBetter, Owen10ozzy, SetupDetermines, and TheCleaver also had two scoring picks.

The Valspar Championship is the third leg of the Florida swing and means a fair few of the players will still get to sleep in their own beds and commute a short distance to work for a change.  PGA National may have it's Bear Trap but Innisbrook's Copperhead course has it's Snake Pit in the closing holes.  It's also the last opportunity for some to make the WGC Matchplay by getting into the top 64-66 places in the OWGR.

Jordan Spieth headlines the field as not just the number one ranked player in the world but as the defending champion too. He won in a playoff last year which started a remarkable year for him.  Nearly all of the previous winners will be playing; Jim Furyk, Mark Calcavecchia, and John Huston are missing.  John Senden, Kevin Streelman, Luke Donald, Gary Woodland, Retief Goosen, Sean O'Hair, K.J. Choi, Carl Pettersson, and Vijay Singh are all playing; Choi and Goosen have won the event twice.

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.

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.

I think O'Hair is listed Cat B (no 124). Unless there is another one I haven't spotted.

Grumpy you might want to have a look.

Ray, all yours are good. You posted G-Mac at his starting time so that's okay and Reed in for Willett is fine with me.

Goosen will step up for Sand unless he makes another pick and I'll have List step up for me.

All you Speith belieber's 4 over after 8. oh dear Justin what can the matter be.

So much for the big 3, one season does not make a great champion.

McIlroy, Speith & Day, are all playing rubbish.....

Second album syndrome?

Justin?

McIlroy was T3 and only 2 off the winner last week, earning $483k - your definition of rubbish and mine differs.

Justin -> Jordan Same difference.

As for Rory, the only one of the 3 that has done over many seasons.

Day & Jordan..one season wonders ??

I'll save you some work, Grumps, a big fat ZERO for moi . . . . . . . . Bl00dy Spieth . . . . etc, etc.

Subject to verification this is an unofficial update. If your name isn't mentioned, I think, at this time you didn't score any points.

Charley Hoffman, Charles Howell III, and Chesson Hadley scored the points. Howell III shares the lead and Owen10ozzy was the only one to pick him. Hoffman was picked by the other six and Hadley was also picked by Owen, Eyetoldyouso, and I'm Never Wrong.

In tough scoring conditions only 24 players managed to beat par and seven of those beat 70 to make the Top Five Low Round scores. Keegan Bradley and Ken Duke were joined by Owen10ozzy's Charles Howell III in shooting 67 which were the low rounds of the day. Chesson Hadley and Charley Hoffman shot 68 and 69 respectively to earn points for I'm Never Wrong and Eyetoldyouso who both had Hadley and Hoffman. BobtheJob, Davie, GolferMartin, and Pedro all picked Hoffman to get off of the mark. Owen also picked Hadley to take the lead after the first round.

Oops, that will teach me not to do my picks in a rush. Spotted you having O'Hair in your picks and thought he was a good shout for Cat C, he is surely too good for that. Clearly too good to be true haha. Happy with Goosen as a replacement obviously.

You certainly did better than me Sand, my replacement was +5! But I do have Goosen in my lineup anyway.

Thanks to Jordan Spieth's recovery every Fantasy Leaguer earned a cut bonus from Category A. Nine other Fantasy Leaguers added bonuses from Categories B and C and in the case of GolferMartin it was from both of those. Six other Fantasy Leaguers came close to matching GolferMartin but fell one pick and in some cases one shot short of the cut line. Graeme McDowell dashed the hopes of BlueCoverman, BobtheJob, and Sand. The other pick for Beninho, EmmDee57, and SirBenson missed by a bigger margin.

1GrumpyGolfer, AlciG, Eyetoldyouso, LadyPutt, McLaren, Pedro, and SetupDetermines all have seven picks left. LadyPutt and Pedro were the only other Fantasy Leaguers to double up on a cut bonus. Davie, I'm Never Wrong, MustPuttBetter, and Owen10ozzy are all left with six picks. Hibbz, Kwinigolfer, Raycastleunited, and TheCleaver all have five left while Super_Realist has just four.

Three players shot 66 to tie for the low round of the day. Graham DeLaet and George McNeill both moved up the leaderboard with their rounds while Steve Stricker moved into a tie for the lead from his. Stricker's round earned points for AlciG, BlueCoverman, and Sand.

Thirteen players shot 69 or lower in round three to make the Top 10 Low Round scores and eight of them were picks. Five Fantasy Leaguers had three of the eight; GolferMartin, BobtheJob, Pedro, and SirBenson are all in the top four positions on the leaderboard. Davie was the other one and he's well inside the top ten. 1GrumpyGolfer, Beninho, BlueCoverman, Eyetoldyouso, Hibbz, LadyPutt, Raycastleunited, and TheCleaver all had two picks score. EmmDee57, I'm Never Wrong, Kwinigolfer, McLaren, MustPuttBetter, Sand, and Super_Realist all had one pick score points. Owen10ozzy was one of the few Fantasy Leaguers not to have any of their picks score points and he's fallen down the leaderboard.

Charl Schwartzel shot a final round, low round of 67 to post 277 for the clubhouse lead and then waited for the final groups to finish. Ultimately it was enough to tie for the lead with Bill Haas and a playoff was needed. Failure from a greenside bunker ultimately cost Haas and Schawrtzel made par to win.

In the Fantasy League it wasn't even anywhere close to what happened in Florida. GolferMartin flattened and almost lapped most of the competition; handicapping may have to come into play. He was one of three to pick Schwartzel and he was one of three to pick third placed finisher Ryan Moore. He added three other scoring picks for good measure. I'm Never Wrong had five picks score but the best was a seventh placed finish. SirBenson was one of four Fantasy Leaguers to have four picks score but his best finisher was Moore. 1GrumpyGolfer, BlueCoverman, and Sand were the other three but they didn't have enough quality to threaten GolferMartin. Hibbz was the second best placed finisher from those that selected Schwartzel and he had two other picks score points. AlciG, BobtheJob, Davie, EmmDee57, Eyetoldyouso, LadyPutt, Pedro, and Raycastleunited were the other Fantasy Leaguers to have three scoring picks. Super_Realist may have only had two scoring picks but when one of them is Schwartzel that will help considerably. His finish points haul was enough to leap from bottom place to a top six finish. Beninho, Kwinigolfer, McLaren, MustPuttBetter, Owen10ozzy, SetupDetermines, and TheCleaver also had two scoring picks.

Thanks Grumps. Getting better.

As Fantasy League "virgin", my luck must run out eventually. Thanks again for your efforts in running things Grumps.

I'm doing about as well as McIlroy and Spieth at the moment - do I stick with them or go out on a limb and pick randomly? Must to something to stop the slide!!!!
