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, based on the point scale below:

Winner = 10 points

2nd Place = 5 points

3rd Place = 3 points

Top 10 = 1 point

2010 Fantasy Golf Picks Total:  52 Points

2010 Fantasy Golf Picks Weekly Average:  1.73 Points

Think you can pick better?  Leave a comment with your 3 picks for the 2010 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.  If you Beat The Expert in any week you will win a FREE 2010 Rotoff Golf Draft Kit (a $9.99 value) with one possible Grand Prize winner at the end of the FedEx Cup season.  See here for official BTE rules.

Before I get to last week’s winner I want to send a very special THANK YOU to Eric McClung who came to the rescue of Shlink Lincoln Sports on very short notice, and who produced some awesome expert results.  I know it won’t be the last time we see Mr. McClung contributing on this site and our new (not quite ready) site at Rotoff.com.  Thanks again E.

Last Week:

Not a bad way to return from blogcation.  The weekly win goes to yours truly with 6 points (Jeff Overton 5 points, Jim Furyk 1 point).  It’s nice to be back somewhat near the top of the BTE LB, though this year has been a dissappointing one for me with only one winner picked.  With only seven weeks left in the competition it’s time for me to prove my “expert” self.   

This week:

Don’t start thinking about College Football just yet.  We still have seven awesome weeks of golf ahead, including the final major of the year next week at Whistling Straits.  But lets not forget Firestone.  Another star studded yet small field takes the course on Thursday including our first Anthony Kim sighting in months.  The FedEx cup title has never been more wide open and the winner this week will get a good chunk of FedEx cup points. 

1.  Tiger Woods

Does anyone else notice the great big elephant in the room?  HGH or no HGH, it’s hard to argue with Tiger Woods record at this event.  With seven wins in ten career starts and finishing no worse then T4, this is a great time for Tiger to get “healthy.”  When the season began what do you think the Vegas odds were that Tiger would go winless in 2010?  Well don’t look now but there’s only seven more chances for El Tigre.  Not that I think it will happen.  If Tiger is going to win at all this year it will be this weekend. 

2.  Paul Casey

Following Paul Casey’s minor collapse at THE Open Championship was a missed cut (only his 3rd of the year) at the Canadion Open.  But don’t let that fool you, Casey is a monster in WGC events.  He has six Top 10s in his last nine WGC starts.  Currently ranked #9 in the world, watch out for Sir Paul come playoff time.  It will be tough for him to win in such a deep field but a Top 10 should be a cinch.

3.  Sergio Garcia

I don’t know what I’m doing with this pick.  Everytime I pick Sergio Garcia to win he misses the cut and heckles fans.  Well at least he heckles me.  Lingering just inside the World Top 50 (ranked behind Adam Scott I might add) there is really no rhyme or reason for this insanity, other then he is on my Rotoff Golf team and he needs to pull his head out of the ass if I’m going to grab the #2 seed and a first round SLS Cup bye.  You want stats?  How about only four of his last twelve rounds have been in the 60s.  WTF am I thinking?
