Hogie's third round springboard propelled him to victory in the BMW PGA Championship. The popular picks of Luke Donald and Paul Lawrie finished first and second earning huge amounts of finish points but hogie wasn't content there; he also had Ernie Els who finished seventh. 10 GCUK Fantasy Leaguers picked the winner, 5 also picked the runners up of Justin Rose and Paul Lawrie.

Paul Lawrie also scored round four bonus points for low round of the day with a -6, 66. He was matched by George Coetzee, but no one picked him so we don't care. Colin Montgomerie had the worse round of the day with a +9, 81. That was also enough to send him to last place on the leaderboard but, all those points also went begging as GCUK'ers had the sense not to pick him.

________________________________________________________________________


Oldparwin maintains his lead at the BMW PGA Championship but the gap has been reduced to 20 points. Mary_S has moved into a share of second place with venice1 as she encouraged 5 picks through to the third round. Venice1 wasn't as successful in getting picks through but James Morrison took his team talk to heart and blitzed the field with an -8, 64 earning bonus points for low round score. BlueCoverman has slipped to a share for fourth as 4 picks made it through for him. He shares that spit with Doc who also got 4 picks through but one of those that bowed out for Doc did so in style. Rhys Davies accumulated 82 and a share of worst round of the day.

Four Fantasy Leaguers came within one pick of achieving perfection and bonus points. There'll be tears before bedtime and much anguish for Mary_S as her David, David Howell let her down. Faldono1fan also picked a local lad for him and was let down to by Howell. Raycastleunited missed out with Alejandro Canizares and in a shock event Rory McIlroy ballsed up hogie's chances.

There were four other pros tied with Rhys Davies for worst round but no one chose Keith Horne, George Murray, David Horsey or Markus Brier.

Oldparwin has stormed into the lead at the BMW PGA Championship opening up a 40 point lead over the chasing group of 3 players. His picks of Peter Lawrie, tie for first round lead, and Justin Rose, top 5 score were inspired. The chasing group of Mary_S, venice1 and BlueCoverman took the conventional way by one of the pro's who made the Round 1 Top 5 category. Mary_S also chose Justin Rose and venice1 and BlueCoverman both chose Alvaro Quiros.

Ten GCUK Fantasy Leaguers are tied for 5th place but don't have any points.

Nobody chose David Drysdale who tied for low round of the day and nobody chose Christian Cevaer or Benjamin Herbert who both tied for the highest round of the day at +11.

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.

Order of Merit: The person with the most total points at the completion of the season will be declared the GolfChatUK 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 treated as nil scoring. 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 2 players and 1 reserve from each category and the relative event number or name: Players 4 and 8, reserve 9 from Category A, players 1 and 7, reserve 3 from Category B, players 1 and 2, 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), 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.

You know what, I did my Sybase matchplay picks based on which players had the prettiest sounding names! Don't know how I won that?

The Spanish Open and Volvo matchplay picks were mainly gut feel based on having played both courses and thinking who was suited to the courses.... and I won those events!

Sometimes its science, sometimes its playing the percentages, most of the time its luck!

Can't believe the number of times I've chosen Nic Fasth as a Cat C player and he's let me down. The one week I leave him out he's -5

How soon before Venice posts the points for my picks today

Soon got fed up with picking by numbers then Grumps?

BlueCoverman wrote:Soon got fed up with picking by numbers then Grumps?

I think it was more a case of if you can't beat them, then copy them Blue

I'm not sure you will get a favourable ruling from the Lady Judge on that one Grumps!

Davie wrote:Can't believe the number of times I've chosen Nic Fasth as a Cat C player and he's let me down. The one week I leave him out he's -5

Really good to see him up there on the leaderboard. I met him last year and he was such a down to earth and friendly guy.

BlueCoverman wrote:I'm not sure you will get a favourable ruling from the Lady Judge on that one Grumps!

I know Blue, worth a try. I realised I hadn't picked when I was heading to bed on Wednesday night but I didn't want to delay going to bed. By the time I got up it was well underway and I couldn't be arsed to try and flick between screens and websites on my iPhone to work out who I could still pick.

Yes Grumps I guess "I will be with you in a moment darling, I have just got to do my Fantasy League picks" wouldn't have gone down too well!

Yeah Blue, I already get enough grief about "golf blogging" as it is

Hope everything is OK with Venice - or is he on his hols at the moment?

Mary - I think Venice just has "different" (and difficult) work schedules. I'm sure he'll be along bold as brass in the next day or so

Thanks Davie.

Davie wrote:Mary - I think Venice just has "different" (and difficult) work schedules. I'm sure he'll be along bold as brass in the next day or so

You've got it correct Davie. The work schedule has been reinvented several times over the past 3 months. Everyone please excuse the inconsistent tallies and finished tourney reports lately. Hopefully all will return to decent hours by the end of next week. Thanks for the patience.

No need to apologise Venice - we are all more than grateful for all the work you put into running the Fantasy League for our enjoyment (and humiliation!)

Hope the work schedule eases up for you soon.

Now own up Venice...we all know that your absence has been spent thinking up even more devious ways in which to dock Grumpy points!

Are we going to get the results from this one, Venice? Not that I think my result was all the stupendous!

LadyPutt wrote:Are we going to get the results from this one, Venice? Not that I think my result was all the stupendous!

There is this one and also the Ladies Match Play that need to be completed. Think of it as the GCUK Fantasy League's version of "Back To The Future". We can blame the delay of the results on the fickle actions of the "flux capacitor" which seems confused by the illogical rules of golf as it relates to the validity of belly putters on the professional tours. Does anyone have a spare DeLorean DMC-12 originally manufactured in Dunmurry gathering dust in their garage?

I am sure that Doc will have one Venice!

Oldparwin has stormed into the lead at the BMW PGA Championship opening up a 40 point lead over the chasing group of 3 players. His picks of Peter Lawrie, tie for first round lead, and Justin Rose, top 5 score were inspired. The chasing group of Mary_S, venice1 and BlueCoverman took the conventional way by one of the pro's who made the Round 1 Top 5 category. Mary_S also chose Justin Rose and venice1 and BlueCoverman both chose Alvaro Quiros.

Ten GCUK Fantasy Leaguers are tied for 5th place but don't have any points.

Nobody chose David Drysdale who tied for low round of the day and nobody chose Christian Cevaer or Benjamin Herbert who both tied for the highest round of the day at +11.

I was on holiday for this one and I'm sure I posted to Venice asking him to "pick nos X and Y from each group" for me but I can't find it. But from what I remember, the X and Y didn't do very well so I probably haven't missed too much.

Thanks for these updates Gumps.

I found it LP. You picked 3 and 7 from each category. I'll update and post your picks and scores with round 2 later today.

Thanks Grumps.

I've noticed that there is a lot of love going on between you and the good lady judge lately Grumps. Take my advice my friend, too much fraternisation with those involved in the legal system will only lead to trouble in the long run...

Ooh - I'm at the right end of the table for a change! Loving your work Grumps!

I'm beginning to understand why you took on this role Grumps!

Oldparwin maintains his lead at the BMW PGA Championship but the gap has been reduced to 20 points. Mary_S has moved into a share of second place with venice1 as she encouraged 5 picks through to the third round. Venice1 wasn't as successful in getting picks through but James Morrison took his team talk to heart and blitzed the field with an -8, 64 earning bonus points for low round score. BlueCoverman has slipped to a share for fourth as 4 picks made it through for him. He shares that spit with Doc who also got 4 picks through but one of those that bowed out for Doc did so in style. Rhys Davies accumulated 82 and a share of worst round of the day.

Four Fantasy Leaguers came within one pick of achieving perfection and bonus points. There'll be tears before bedtime and much anguish for Mary_S as her David, David Howell let her down. Faldono1fan also picked a local lad for him and was let down to by Howell. Raycastleunited missed out with Alejandro Canizares and in a shock event Rory McIlroy ballsed up hogie's chances.

There were four other pros tied with Rhys Davies for worst round but no one chose Keith Horne, George Murray, David Horsey or Markus Brier.

Oldparwin has stormed into the lead at the BMW PGA Championship opening up a 40 point lead over the chasing group of 3 players. His picks of Peter Lawrie, tie for first round lead, and Justin Rose, top 5 score were inspired. The chasing group of Mary_S, venice1 and BlueCoverman took the conventional way by one of the pro's who made the Round 1 Top 5 category. Mary_S also chose Justin Rose and venice1 and BlueCoverman both chose Alvaro Quiros.

Ten GCUK Fantasy Leaguers are tied for 5th place but don't have any points.

Nobody chose David Drysdale who tied for low round of the day and nobody chose Christian Cevaer or Benjamin Herbert who both tied for the highest round of the day at +11.

In an unprecedented day of high scoring a new GCUK Fantasy League record has been set; 13 out of 14 Fantasy Leaguers picked one of the three pros who shot low round of the day. One would have to think that if LadyPutt would have been able to pick properly we would have been at 14 of 14.

Oldparwin still stands at the top of the leaderboard at the BMW PGA Championship but he has been joined by hogie. Hogie scored a massive 100 points by having another two players in the Top 10 low scores and also had James Kingston who had the worse round of the day. Doc, Davie, faldono1fan and raycastleunited all managed to get three players into the Top 10 low scores to walk away with 80 points.

Hogie's third round springboard propelled him to victory in the BMW PGA Championship. The popular picks of Luke Donald and Paul Lawrie finished first and second earning huge amounts of finish points but hogie wasn't content there; he also had Ernie Els who finished seventh. 10 GCUK Fantasy Leaguers picked the winner, 5 also picked the runners up of Justin Rose and Paul Lawrie.

Paul Lawrie also scored round four bonus points for low round of the day with a -6, 66. He was matched by George Coetzee, but no one picked him so we don't care. Colin Montgomerie had the worse round of the day with a +9, 81. That was also enough to send him to last place on the leaderboard but, all those points also went begging as GCUK'ers had the sense not to pick him.
