Quick! Turn the lights on, it's getting dark.  In the gloom of Kentucky Rory  McIlroy putted out in the dark and put the finishing touches on an amazing spell of golf that's seen him win 2 majors and a WGC in his last three events.
 
SetupDetermines had a Rory spell that saw him finish with 5 picks in the top 7 including the top 3.  He blitzed the overnight lead of RedRage who had two others in the top 3 but two other picks didn't really challenge the top 10.  BlueCoverman had five picks score points and that was enough to tie Davie for third place.  Mary_S and LadyPutt each had three picks score points but were never in position to challenge for a podium finish.  1GrumpyGolfer had just two picks score points.
 
Jimmy Walker and Ernie Else both shot 65 for the low round of the day and those bonus points emphasised Setup's domination.  Everyone bar RedRage, LadyPutt, and 1GrumpyGolfer earned points from Walker.  Rafa Cabrera Bello finished with an 80 and last place to boot; no one picked him so it didn't really matter.

Points galore in the third round of the USPGA.  Nine picks shot 67 or lower and plenty of points were handed out.  RedRage and 1GrumpyGolfer each had five picks earn points and that was enough to put RedRage into the joint lead.  BlueCoverman, Davie, Mary_S, and  SetupDetermines all had four picks score points and LadyPutt had to settle for just three picks scoring points.  
 
Hunter Mahan and Bernd Wiesberger shot 65 to tie for the low round of the day.  Brendon Todd finished the day with a 75 for the worst round.
 
As Rory McIlroy takes a one shot lead into the final round and attempts to win back to back majors will RedRage manage the same or can another player and Fantasy Leaguer change that?

Despite a weather interrupted second round everyone was able to complete their round and the cut line fell at +1.  Only five picks missed the cut and early leader RedRage lost ground.  RedRage, LadyPutt, and Mary_S all lost one pick and 1GrumpyGolfer lost two picks.  BlueCoverman, Davie, and SetupDetermines are left with the full set and all the bonuses that go with it.

Hands up!  Who thought RedRage's pick of Lee Westwood was optimistic?  Especially after he made double bogey on his 10th hole.  But, Westwood ultimately repaid RedRage's faith in him by setting an early pace at the USPGA.  Five closing birdies meant that Westwood ended with a 65 and an early share of the lead with Ryan Palmer and Kevin Chappell.  Five other players shot 66 to round out the Top 5 Low Round scores and four of them were picks and the fifth was a reserve.  Everyone is off the mark in round one thanks to Rory McIlroy but RedRage has the early lead as he had two other picks score points.  Mary_S is in close pursuit as she had three picks shoot 66.  1GrumpyGolfer and Davie both have two picks shoot 66.
 
Club pro Aaron Krueger was welcomed to the big leagues and he found it a harsh place.  His round of 84 was the worst of the day but at least he finished the round.  Jason Dufner withdrew midway and Ben Crane also withdrew.
 
The cut line is even par but with bad weather this could change and also mean that the second round is not completed on Friday.

The final major of the 2014 season sees us in prime horse country in America.  Valhalla Golf Club hosts the 96th edition of the USPGA Championship having previously seen the event take place there in 1996 and 2000.  Valhalla has also hosted the 2008 Ryder Cup and the Senior version of the USPGA in 2004 and most recently in 2011.  It won't be the same as when it was last seen on television as all of the greeens have been rebuilt and lots of the complexes have been changed.  The bunkering has also been tweaked on a few holes.
 
Mark Brooks won the USPGA back in 1996 and is one of the 15 former champions in the field.  Between them they have won this title 19 times with Vijay Singh and Tiger Woods being the only ones with multiple wins.  The second of Tiger's wins came at Valhalla after he defeated Bob May over a 3 hole playoff.  
 
109 of the top 110 players are scheduled to play.  Only Dustin Johnson, ranked 17 in the OWGR, is missing through a self imposed or an enforced exile depending on whose version of the truth you believe.  There are some injury doubts as to whether that high number of highly ranked players will hold; Tiger withdrew from the WGC - Bridgestone Invitational during the final round and defending USPGA champion Jason Dufner is also struggling.  There are some 20 Club Professionals included in the field having qualified through finishing in the top 20 of the PGA's Club Professional Championship.  Michael Block won that title at Dunes Golf and Beach Club in Myrtle Beach.
 
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.

Actually found CatB harder to narrow down! Some good picks in there

What no Geoff Ogilvy Grumps?  

I think David Toms has withdrawn - not that anyone's picked him! Replaced by Shawn Stefani?

So, like Rory, I'm going for three in a row! Has it been done before?

Cat B: Charl Schwartzel, Marc Leishman & Shane Lowry (res Angel Cabrera)

The field was listed, and is still listed, as 154 players: www.pga/pgachampionship/players/field

Pat Perez and Geoff Ogilvy are not listed on there but they have been added to the two tee times at the end of the morning and afternoon waves which turned them from two balls into three balls.

Both will appear in Cat C along with Shawn Stefani who replaced David Toms. Toms is still listed in the players list...

Cat A: McIlroy, Garcia, Rose. Reserve Furyk

Cat B: Fowler, Bradley, Moore. Reserve Reed

Cat C: Karlsson, Molinari, MacKenzie. Reserve Willett

Well we've all picked Rory. Bit different to the Open when only Setup did. Will it be a case of stable door and horses bolted for us fantasy league sheep?

Yes even I picked him - much against my better judgement

Very out of character that Davie, I even noticed a hint of praise from your goodself on the dark side yesterday for the previously much maligned Mr McIlroy. A bit akin to an Arsenal fan cheering a Spurs goal wouldn't you say?  

A hint of praise Blue? I must've been feeling ill

I guess that was the "odds" discussion (aka wind up McLaren) .. I think I only said Coco was playing quite well .. suppose that IS praise from me

Kuch withdraws at the 11th hour. Only Setup had him as reserve though so no damage done

Davie wrote:Kuch withdraws at the 11th hour. Only Setup had him as reserve though so no damage done

Another victim of Bad Back Syndrome. At least he had the decency to withdraw before starting so John Huh gets to play. Woods is +1 after 2 holes.

BlueCoverman wrote:If LP gets three in a row does she get to keep the trophy?  

Looking at the early leaderboard, I think that's doubtful!

Second round play suspended due to heavy rain    and threat of lightning - don't think anyone's even completed a hole! Why did they send them out if it was that bad?

Is there anyone else out there .........  

Just me LP...with a desk load of work (groan)
 
Haven't heard much from Grumps for the last couple of days...guess he's out on that golf course again  

I'm here - but not much happened at Valhalla so far...

Well I'm about to sneak off work for the weekend so I'm unlikely to be on here again until Monday. See you later  

Davie wrote:I'm here - but not much happened at Valhalla so far...

They're playing again - Shane Lowry +2 after 3  
And Ben Crane is the latest to join the ever-increasing number of those throwing a "sickie"

Hands up! Who thought RedRage's pick of Lee Westwood was optimistic? Especially after he made double bogey on his 10th hole. But, Westwood ultimately repaid RedRage's faith in him by setting an early pace at the USPGA. Five closing birdies meant that Westwood ended with a 65 and an early share of the lead with Ryan Palmer and Kevin Chappell. Five other players shot 66 to round out the Top 5 Low Round scores and four of them were picks and the fifth was a reserve. Everyone is off the mark in round one thanks to Rory McIlroy but RedRage has the early lead as he had two other picks score points. Mary_S is in close pursuit as she had three picks shoot 66. 1GrumpyGolfer and Davie both have two picks shoot 66.

Club pro Aaron Krueger was welcomed to the big leagues and he found it a harsh place. His round of 84 was the worst of the day but at least he finished the round. Jason Dufner withdrew midway and Ben Crane also withdrew.

The cut line is even par but with bad weather this could change and also mean that the second round is not completed on Friday.

Grumps has been in spreadsheet hell for a few days and will continue to be in spreadsheet hell for the foreseeable future. Oh Happy Days!!

Semi Final of the Club Championships tomorrow and I'm hoping my rubbish play is behind me. Luckily the guy I'm playing with can't putt so I'm not giving him anything

1GrumpyGolfer wrote:Luckily the guy I'm playing with can't putt so I'm not giving him anything

  

I feel a fantasy league penalty coming on....

The closer this guy gets the worse his putting gets. Anything inside 4-5 feet is an easy three putt.

Christ this game could take forever!... 

The soundtrack to the USPGA is brought to you by Queen. The theme song "Another one Bites the Dust". Alfie Barnrat becomes the third player to withdraw from this year's tournament.

Just found out that Chris Wood ripped a big hole in his strides very early on in the first round. No wonder we haven't heard from Mary today; she probably needed to lie down in a darkened room after all that excitement

Should have made sure his pants were a matching colour....

Could have been worse...he might have been rough riding!  

All the morning wave have finished and the afternoon wave is well underway. They may just about finish tonight but who knows. Cut line +1 at the moment.

And another one's gone, another one's gone, another one's just withdrawn

Two more in the WD pile: Boo Weekly and Angel Cabrera.

Points galore in the third round of the USPGA. Nine picks shot 67 or lower and plenty of points were handed out. RedRage and 1GrumpyGolfer each had five picks earn points and that was enough to put RedRage into the joint lead. BlueCoverman, Davie, Mary_S, and SetupDetermines all had four picks score points and LadyPutt had to settle for just three picks scoring points.

Hunter Mahan and Bernd Wiesberger shot 65 to tie for the low round of the day. Brendon Todd finished the day with a 75 for the worst round.

As Rory McIlroy takes a one shot lead into the final round and attempts to win back to back majors will RedRage manage the same or can another player and Fantasy Leaguer change that?

Watch out for a Lefty charge today.   

It's going to be a late night!   

Could all come down to Stenson vs Phil.....

This has been a real treat of a final round... The weather has blunted the course, but the players are really delivering under the pressure.

Touch and go as to whether they will get finished. McIlroy could be putting in the dark to try and win this thing on 18

I'd rather rely on Rory putting in the dark on the 18th, than you in the bright sunshine!  

Amazing scenes on the last hole as Rory and Bernd try to beat the darkness. Rickie and Phil were walking off the tee when Rory asked if he could tee off. Could almost finish as a 4 ball!

Took a real lash at it too and was a little lucky to stay dry. Ridiculous as it is so fricking dark and thunder can be heard. All he needs is a par so no need to do anything stupid.

You're gonna get your wish Blue. He did something stupid and now he has to two putt. Job done.

Well, that's not




























very nice

Think it's going to be close but Jimmy might just have swung it.

That was brilliant Rory, what a fantastic evenings viewing. Gonna be tired at work in the morning!

No you're right it wasn't. Especially as my ball was already in my pocket!  

No problems staying awake to watch the final hole - what a great evening's viewing. Wasn't sure who made the decision at the 18th tee, but it was probably the only way they were going to be able to finish.

Afraid I hit the "record" button and bailed out at about 11.30   but at least I can now watch it this evening without being too anxious about who wins  . LordPutt and I have had a really bad cough for about six weeks (I started with it and gave it to him ) and we're not getting much sleep so we get very tired by the end of the day

Quick! Turn the lights on, it's getting dark.  In the gloom of Kentucky Rory  McIlroy putted out in the dark and put the finishing touches on an amazing spell of golf that's seen him win 2 majors and a WGC in his last three events.
 
SetupDetermines had a Rory spell that saw him finish with 5 picks in the top 7 including the top 3.  He blitzed the overnight lead of RedRage who had two others in the top 3 but two other picks didn't really challenge the top 10.  BlueCoverman had five picks score points and that was enough to tie Davie for third place.  Mary_S and LadyPutt each had three picks score points but were never in position to challenge for a podium finish.  1GrumpyGolfer had just two picks score points.
 
Jimmy Walker and Ernie Else both shot 65 for the low round of the day and those bonus points emphasised Setup's domination.  Everyone bar RedRage, LadyPutt, and 1GrumpyGolfer earned points from Walker.  Rafa Cabrera Bello finished with an 80 and last place to boot; no one picked him so it didn't really matter.
