Fantasy Golf Picks
I’m giving myself points for picking winners. Hopefully my picks can help you win your fantasy golf league this season. My goal is to get to 111 points for the season, or the equivlant of picking a Top 3 finisher or better each week.
Winner = 10 points
2nd Place = 5 points
3rd Place = 3 points
Top 10 = 1 point
2009 Fantasy Golf Picks Total: 81 Points
2009 Fantasy Golf Picks Weekly Average: 2.70 Points
Last week:
Was there ever any doubt? Ok so the 71 on Thursday was suspect but 63 on Friday was just insane. Not that he ever really went away………..but Tiger is back. I’ll take the 10 points for the win ad just like that my goal of 111 for the season is very much in reach. Not sure what happened to Verplank who looked so good the week before but missed just his fourth cut on the season. Furyk was a let down on a course that he usually goes real low, finishing T25.
This week:
Two words. Tiger Woods. Three more words. Phil Mickelon returns. Four more little words. Must see golf T.V.
Keep in mind there is no cut this week which bodes well for points in both Yahoo! and Rotoff leagues.
1. Tiger Woods
It almost feels like cheating in picking Tiger, but much last last week Tiger is playing a couse that he has absolutely dominated, try six wins in nine starts. The three years he didn’t win he finished T2, T4 and 4th. Add in that he is coming off a win and the PGA Championship is next week and I find it hard to see a scenario in which Tiger doesn’t wi again this weekend.
2. Lee Westwood
Westwood finished T2 here last year and the last time we saw him finished T3 at the Open Championship. It should be noted that in nine starts at Firestone Country Club Westwood has just two top 10s, however Westwood is playing arguably the best golf of his career and anything less then a Top 10 this week will be a dissapointment.
3. Retief Goosen
The Goose has had a resurection of late. With only two Top 10s in 2008, Retief has already doubled that total in 2009 including his first win since 2005. This week he comes in with two straight Top 10 finishes and an almost win at the RBC Canadian Open. Goosen finished 4th here last year and has two Top 10s in eight starts.
