Holmes has infuriated me for 3 days playing out of his ass. I’m very much enjoying his train wreck of a round today.

I don’t have any this week but have played him enough of him over the years (including his last two wins) to know he is very capable of these random blow up rounds of 80

Kuch just absolutely killing me today

Justin Harding made 18 birdies and Eagle on the tourney but still finished +2 overall – he crushed fantasy-wise and was only $6400

The guy winning the Milly has him and 5 guys in top 11

Did Putnam make a birdie or a bogey on 16…they had a 2…now it says 4. On the open site.

Went pretty heavy this week and I’m getting destroyed. Gonna be something like $1400 in and $150 out lol. Bye bye to all of last week’s profits. Oh well.

Stenson shank and breaks his club over his knee

Bobby MacIntyre gonna back-door his way into a Top 5 for me with all the carnage going on

These are the conditions I had in mind before the event started. Weather was heavily skewed for the PM/AM guys before the cut. This is the first time the leaders have experienced poor weather this week.

yep. four days of this would have been brutal for fantasy purposes though.

Fowler birdie

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

So last night i get ready to throw a $5 entry in the Day 4 Showdown….. .now i hate the Day 4 showdown because of the stupid rules but im like well thsi one is kinda obvious who to play…. long story short i wuss out and throw it in the $1 single entry instead since i never do that well in showdown….

yep you guessed it… Im sitting at 250.05 with 10 PHR and would be in 3rd place for $10,000

Worst decision ever… im literally DESTROYING the $1 single entry instead for $12 im beating everyone by 30 freaking points… i never freaking do this i always play the main just in case… why god

Koepka is going to backdoor a 2nd.

Is noone going to discuss Justin Rose disappearing act once again?

Second consecutive major he had a chance to win and was like the worst player on Sunday

This part of my prediction has held up extremely well

of coruse this crap happens in a tournament when practically every lineup of mine was 5/6 and i had a nice 6/6 in the mayo….

still gonna win money this week but this shoulda gone much, much better….

Cant have a worse Sunday lineup than

rose +8
kuchar +8
stenson +5
oosty -2
simpson +3
reed Even

what a joke… .lineup went from just outside the top 100 to outside the top 300…. in a tournament with like 3% 6/6’s and a bunch of randos on the leaderboard….. that one had potential to score in a more normal week

Unreal how bad he has been today. Single handedly ruined a 6/6 for me. can’t complain because I made a little bit of $$$$$$.

Rose, Kooch, Xander, Stenson, Spieth, Rahm, DJ and McDowell

All somewhat chalky guys who shot at least 4-over today to tank everyone

Real opportunity missed in the showdown today. I went all early tee times but just didn’t find the right combination. The public was more conventional…low ownership to Barnrat, Luiten and company.

Wish I would have just threw the first 20 guys into an optimizer and churned out 150 LUs but sadly I cannot do that volume at the moment.

showdown was super obvious this week…i just use Bif Strategy and played Lowry and Fleetwood then ignored the rest of the leaderboard…

Then i went with JT, Moli, Bjerregard, Kokrak for the early tee times, ability to go low, and eagle potential…

looks like my lineup woulda prob finished 5th of 47,562 for $2,000…. whew… i can handle losing $2k…. $10k i woulda lost my mind

Will JB break 90?

Par needed on 18 for a smooth 85

If Lowry birdies 18 i will have cost myself $20,000. Needless to say i do not want a birdie here…. please dude… do NOT birdie this hole if you care about me

So hard to watch for any professional, really.

Pretty remarkable the Milly maker winner didn’t have Fleetwood

Finau
Harding (who scored as well as some on -3)
Koepka
Lowry
Thomas
Westwood
