What a finish to the Honda Classic!  Player after player seemed to get themselves in a position to win the tournament and then contrived to throw it away.  A four way playoff ensued and after the first hole on one remained.  While those with a chance of victory were toiling others who were out of the spotlight decided to take advantage, six players shot 67 to tie for low round of the day.  Four of them were GolfChatUK Fantasy League picks too; LadyPutt, Mary_S, and RedRage had multiple picks in that small group too.  1GrumpyGolfer and SetupDetermines also had one pick in the low round scores.  The worse rounds of the day were 78 and Brendan de Jonge ended his weekend with a double of worst rounds.  Ben Crane joined him with a 78 and that was enough to give him last place too.
 
Now onto the finish placings, at the start of the day three picks were in the points: McIlroy, Mackenzie, and Woods.  At the end of the day six other picks moved into the placings but one of the original three fell out.  Tigers Woods withdrew due to back spasms which had been affecting his play all day.  The picks either finished 2nd, 6th, 8th, or 12th and a few of those that finished 12th shot 67 to get there.  Everyone had at least one pick score finish points and if Davie had upgraded Paul Casey instead of selecting Peter Uihlein he would have had two picks; oh well.  1GrumpyGolfer and SetupDetermines each had the same two picks score points so they stayed close by each other in the same places.  Mary_S also had two picks score points and that along with both of them making low round of the day she overtook Davie.  LadyPutt had a triple double in points finishers and low round bonus points.  BlueCoverman had three points scorers with 2nd, 6th, and 12th placed finishes.  RedRage went one better with all four positions among his picks, his two low round scorers drew him level with BlueCoverman and Garcia's 8th place sent him to the top of the leaderboard.
 
A thrilling end to the Honda Classic and kudos to SetupDetermines for calling it mid afternoon despite the spluttering protestations of BlueCoverman.

Round 3 had 79 players so there was an MDF to bring the field down to the top 70 and ties.  Tiger Woods needed to get a move on and he did just that.  He was one of five players to shoot 65 which was the low round of the day.  That earned points for RedRage and Davie; no one else earned points in round 3.  The other players to shoot 65 were: Stuart Appleby, Luke Guthrie, Matt Every, and Brian Stuard.  Brendan de Jonge suffered in the final group spotlight and he had the worse round of the day with a 76.  SetupDetermines lost one of his picks in Y.E. Yang to the Saturday cut.

I think we need the handicap secretary to weigh in here :whistle:BlueCoverman becomes the first GolfChatUK Fantasy Leaguer to get all picks through the new system.  He earns beaucoup de bonuses and surges ahead in the leaderboard race.  His next closest challengers are RedRage and SetupDetermines who each had seven picks but only one bonus.  LadyPutt also had seven picks and a cut bonus while 1GrumpyGolfer had six with a cut bonus.  Davie and Mary_S each had four picks through and they didn't earn a cut bonus.
 
The low score was 63 and two players shot that number; Russell Knox and John Senden.  Alan Morin had the worst round with an 81.  No one picked any of these so no further bonuses were awarded.
 
With 79 players making the cut there will be a further cut, to top 70 and ties, after round 3.

Belated update for Round 1.  Rory McIlroy shoots 63 to take the first round lead and make four GolfChatUK Fantasy Leaguers very happy indeed.  Fear not, unhappy Fantasy Leaguers you're still in the top 5...  Rounds of 65 or lower made the Top 5 Low Round scores but no one had a pick other than McIlroy manage this.  Briny Baird slumped to an 79 for the worse round but no one picked him either.  
 
Somewhere between round 1 and 2 and for some reason Hideki Matsuyama withdrew and this will hamper LadyPutt's chances.  The cut line is around even par right now and good rounds are needed for some picks to make the cut; unfortunately some of them didn't get this memo in time.

Monday qualifying didn't quite finish off on Monday so the final four spots have not been allocated as yet and that means the field is yet to be finalised.  However the start of the Florida swing sees a strong field gathering for the Honda Classic with eight seven of the top nine players in the OWGR gracing the event with their presence.  
 
We are back to our regular three Categories but you still need to pick three, plus reserve, from each one.  The additional cut bonus points are still on offer this time around.  If you get all of your picks through in any category you get a small bonus.  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, so 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 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, 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.

Now hearing King Louis is out .. am I too late to put Peter Uihlein in there for him as a substitute and leave Casey on the bench?

If rules don't allow for that then Casey gets promoted from the bench but Peter Uihlein goes in as last minute reserve?

Ideally I've like my B cat lineup to be

CATEGORY B: Peter Uihlein, Rickie Fowler, Thorbjorn Olesen (res: Paul Casey)

Watch LP-itis kick in on that!

Please confirm a new Cat B reserve or new Cat B pick.

Thanks, Grumps

Davie, there's nothing to stop you from doing this. Uihlein is in.

Thanks Grumps...Brian Harman steps up for a first team debut, Billy Horschel comes in to sit on the bench please  

Cat A: Charl Schwartzel, Rory McIlroy, Sergio Garcia. Reserve Graeme McDowell.

Cat B: Rickie Fowler, Patrick Reed, Brian Harman. Reserve Charles Howell-III

Cat C: Jason Allred, James Hahn, Camilo Villegas. Reserve Davis Love-III

With the reserve picks often performing well, it will be interesting to see if the changes enforced by Charl's withdrawal will bring in points for those who had picked him.

I'm expecting great things from Paul Casey, as Davie didn't have enough faith to promote him from the subs bench!   

Obviously nobody noticed my note in my selections regarding Louie ??

Subliminal messages not working, then.   

Casey won't mind being left on the subs bench, will give him more time for some extra skiing!

No I didn't notice Setup, so many withdrawals this week...have they all got toothache?

Has Charl Schwartzel pulled out too? Or did you mean Louie Oo?

Louie's back is knackered. & he insists there is nothing wrong...

Now you know what the Doctor told you about drinking before breakfast Mary  

I knew his back was playing up and that's partly the reason he couldn't compete with Day in the match play.

What would it be like if he had to carry his own bag?!  

I share the same chiropractor as Louie. His back has been playing up for several months, not just at present. When he played in the MidEast Swing; where he managed finished in the top 5 in one event, this was only achievable after my guy had worked his miracle hands on him.

Do you pay the same sort of consultancy fees Setup?  

The Tour pays his travel/accommodation & wages etc, the players don't pay a thing.

Louie did not even want to get manipulated by the Chiropractor. And was amazed how well he felt after it.

I see you've got Brian Harman in for a first team debut as well then Grumps...what's the thinking or are you just copying me again?  

I thought Brian Harman and Jason Allred and Charl Schwartzel for that matter played very well at Riviera so thought they should be rewarded with a place in my picks. Whether they think that's a great reward will remain to be seen.

BlueCoverman wrote:Now you know what has the Doctor told you about drinking before breakfast Mary  

Sssh - that's supposed to be a secret!   

I don't know why I typed Charl - I think I've been spending too long watching the leaderboards from SA, and my brain is totally scrambled. Although, I'm usually looking at the bottom of the board, and Charl and Louie don't seem to inhabit that area!   

I think my laptop may be playing up so IT might have to have a look at it. If that's the case first round leaderboard updates might not be completed until about this time tomorrow.

I'll try for some unofficial updates later this evening if IT keep hold of my laptop.

Remain to be seen it will Grumps...no doubt we will end up with egg on our faces!  

I'm thinking one of them has wasted this golden opportunity already...

Yes a bad start for Charl...but at least Harman is 7 shots better!  

My laptop is poorly so it will be an unofficial update tonight and hopefully full updates tomorrow

No worries Grumps I'll do it:-

Anyone who picked Rory has got 20 points 


Hope that helps  

Damn good of you Blue. Despite what the others say you've been really helpful.

I take it you might have picked Rory then?

Only too pleased to be of assistance Grumps   

How did you guess?  

I've got a bad case of reverse LP-itis, my three reserves are currently 8 over!

Belated update for Round 1. Rory McIlroy shoots 63 to take the first round lead and make four GolfChatUK Fantasy Leaguers very happy indeed. Fear not, unhappy Fantasy Leaguers you're still in the top 5... Rounds of 65 or lower made the Top 5 Low Round scores but no one had a pick other than McIlroy manage this. Briny Baird slumped to an 79 for the worse round but no one picked him either.

Somewhere between round 1 and 2 and for some reason Hideki Matsuyama withdrew and this will hamper LadyPutt's chances. The cut line is around even par right now and good rounds are needed for some picks to make the cut; unfortunately some of them didn't get this memo in time.

Round 3 had 79 players so there was an MDF to bring the field down to the top 70 and ties. Tiger Woods needed to get a move on and he did just that. He was one of five players to shoot 65 which was the low round of the day. That earned points for RedRage and Davie; no one else earned points in round 3. The other players to shoot 65 were: Stuart Appleby, Luke Guthrie, Matt Every, and Brian Stuard. Brendan de Jonge suffered in the final group spotlight and he had the worse round of the day with a 76. SetupDetermines lost one of his picks in Y.E. Yang to the Saturday cut.

I'm still recovering from the nosebleed I got last week!   

I knew my picks were doomed as soon as Davie selected Peter Uihlein as his replacement player.   

After some of Mary's recent comments I'm very pleased to have pulled ahead of the last place (but only by a small margin)

Not feeling confident of staying off the basement position though! Mary could still have the last laugh!

Woods currently doing his best for worse round of the day!
