Fantasy Four Recap :: FedEx Cup Deutsche Bank

What a points explosion… I’m sure the 4 people who picked Louis Oosthuizen were hoping he could pull out the win. However, Rory McIlroy played steady and went low all week. He’s #1 in the world and it’s not showing off, if you back it up.

  • Entries :: 48
  • Tournament Winner :: Rory McIlory (18 selections)
  • Unique Golfers ::  26
  • Most Popular Nike Pick :: Tiger (41 selections)
  • Highest Nike Finish :: Tiger
  • Most Popular Non-Nike Pick :: Luke Donald (21 selections, 26th)
  • Average Points ::  38.54 (10.20 last week)

Two way tie with a huge total. It’s only fitting that David Mullen shares the dinner, since it was a home-cooked meal for him.

Weekly Winners (66 points)
David Mullen :: Rory McIlroy (1), Brandt Snedeker (6) , Nick Watney (20) and Tiger Woods (3)
Seth M :: Rory McIlroy  (1), Brandt Snedeker (6), Jason Dufner (18) and Tiger Woods (3)

Seth made a pretty big move in S2, moving up 10 spots to 6th.

Overall Outlook
Chris Wang still holds the lead, but by only 3 points, as Alan and Ned Brown make big moves.

2nd Half Outlook
Last week, Alan was in 2nd place.. now he has a 31 point lead. However, the prize battle is between Paul Manbeck and Anthony M.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: JULY FANTASY FOUR RESULTS

Hey There Fantasy Four Players!

Bob here with an important announcement regarding the July Fantasy Four — Damian is on vacation and unavailable for the next three weeks, so here’s what we’ll be doing this month for the picks and results posts:

I will be doing the announcement posts for the next three (3) weeks, they will be the limited posts I usually do in Damian’s absence, those will be posted each week on Monday or early Tuesday per usual.

The results posts will be held until the end of the month — Damian will do all four results posts when he returns, and the weekly results for all four weeks, as well as the monthly winner for July, will be posted on Monday July 30th or Tuesday July 31st.

Thanks in advance for your understanding here, as I want to have Damian tally the results in his usual expert fashion. Alan and I will be focusing on keeping the site content going for the next three weeks including the upcoming Open Championship. Any questions or concerns can be directed to me at bob at ngnation.com.

Thanks again for reading NG Nation and playing our Fantasy Four contest!

Bob
