Who would of put money on Dustin Johnson not winning his third WGC of 2017?  In a remarkable turnaround Justin Rose held his nerve to hold off Johnson, Henrik Stenson, and Brooks Koepka.  

Eight Fantasy League picks finished in the top ten; Kyle Stanley and Matthew Fitzpatrick were the only two not to make into a selection.  Four of I'm Never Wrong's picks were among those eight and that was enough to complete a Rose like charge to win.  EmmDee57 had three picks score including Rose who was also one of the two low round scorers.  Be_the_Ball, Davie, Eyetoldyouso, Kwinigolfer, McLaren, Raycastleunited, SirBenson, and Super_Realist all had two picks score.  Super's two included Rose while Eye, Kwini, Mac, Ray, and SirB had one of the three second place finishers.  Beninho, LadyPutt, Pedro, SetupDetermines, and TheCleaver all had one pick score, TC's was Johnson.

Phil Mickelson joined Rose in shooting 67.  EmmDee57 had both of them, Be_the_Ball and Pedro both had Mickelson, and Super was the only other Fantasy Leaguer to have Rose.

The final World Golf Championship event of 2017 sees a strong proportion of the best players in the world head to Shanghai for the HSBC Champions WGC.  Hideki Matsuyama is the defending champion and with Dustin Johnson shares the four WGC titles after he won in Akron.

Due to the limited field size the number of picks is scaled back to two from each category plus reserve.  This is also a no cut event so the usual cut bonuses are not in effect but additional points are available in round two.

RULES

Picking players: Unless stated, pick a total of 6 players as follows:

Pick 2 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 6 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.

Based on Sunday's game I'm not sure I'd risk the humiliation. Maybe Ben's trying to see if he can get some bonus points from me.

Brooks Koepka produced the round of the day with a 64.  He takes a one shot lead over the popular pick of Kiradech Aphibarnrat and the not so popular pick of Gavin Green.  Fellow pick Patrick Reed is a one shot further back alongside Haydn Porteous; the only player in the top five not to be picked.

Eyetoldyouso was one of two Fantasy Leaguers to to pick Koepka and he was the only one to have multiple picks in the points.  I'm Never Wrong also picked Koepka to occupy second place on the leaderboard.  Almost the entire Fantasy League are in joint third; Beninho, Davie, EmmDee57, Kwinigolfer, McLaren, Pedro, Raycastleunited, SetupDetermines, SirBenson, and TheCleaver, all have one scoring pick.  

Be_the_Ball, LadyPutt, and Super_Realist are still to get off the mark however they will get the chance in round two as there's no cut there are Top 5 Low Round points on offer in round two.

I thought Galvin Green was a name made up by the clothing company. Didn't realise he was a golfer.

He just took it one step further than when Nike bought Tiger.

LPRPitis strikes again! The swap wasn't the best idea either

Round two saw Dustin Johnson, new putter in hand, go low.  His round of 63 was enough to move him to the top of the leaderboard after Brooks Koepka could only manage a 68.  The 68 was enough to reach the Top 5 Low Round scores.  Three other picks managed to do that; Peter Uihlein, Justin Rose, and Scott Hend.

Four Fantasy Leaguers had two picks in the points, Kwinigolfer scored the most points as he had Johnson as one of his two.  Beninho, EmmDee57, and Super_Realist were the other Fantasy Leaguers to have two scoring picks.  Eyetoldyouo, I'm Never Wrong, McLaren, Raycastleunited, SirBenson, and TheCleaver all had one scoring pick but Mac, Ray, SirB, and TC's pick was Johnson.

Be_the_Ball and LadyPutt are still to get off the mark however they will get the chance in round three as the Top 10 Low Round scores will earn points.

With at least ten scores earning points in round three there were plenty of opportunities for Fantasy Leaguers to score points. Rounds of 68 and 69 earned points and multiple Fantasy Leaguers had more than one pick score points. LadyPutt and TheCleaver top scored with three picks that included one of the low round scorers. LadyPutt had Marc Leishman while TheCleaver had Dustin Johnson. Davie had three picks score points while Beninho, McLaren, SirBenson, and Super_Realist each had two picks score; Ben and Super had Leishman while Mac and SirB had Johnson. Be_the_Ball, EmmDee57, I'm Never Wrong, Kwinigolfer, Pedro, and Raycastleunited all had one scoring pick; Kwini and Ray had Johnson while Pedro had Leishman.

Poom Saksansin and Brandon Stone also shot 68 for the low round of the day.

Who would of put money on Dustin Johnson not winning his third WGC of 2017? In a remarkable turnaround Justin Rose held his nerve to hold off Johnson, Henrik Stenson, and Brooks Koepka.

Eight Fantasy League picks finished in the top ten; Kyle Stanley and Matthew Fitzpatrick were the only two not to make into a selection. Four of I'm Never Wrong's picks were among those eight and that was enough to complete a Rose like charge to win. EmmDee57 had three picks score including Rose who was also one of the two low round scorers. Be_the_Ball, Davie, Eyetoldyouso, Kwinigolfer, McLaren, Raycastleunited, SirBenson, and Super_Realist all had two picks score. Super's two included Rose while Eye, Kwini, Mac, Ray, and SirB had one of the three second place finishers. Beninho, LadyPutt, Pedro, SetupDetermines, and TheCleaver all had one pick score, TC's was Johnson.

Phil Mickelson joined Rose in shooting 67. EmmDee57 had both of them, Be_the_Ball and Pedro both had Mickelson, and Super was the only other Fantasy Leaguer to have Rose.
