Fantasy Four Recap :: BMW Championship

September 17, 2013 by Damian Daniels Leave a Comment

The tournament dragged on a bit into a Monday finish, but we got our winner in Zach Johnson. Poor, old, sad Jim Furyk.

Only one person picked Zach Johnson this week (Josh C) while Heather had a strong showing with 42 points to keep her monthly lead.

Josh moves into 11th in the FedEx Monthly Standings, 23rd in the 2nd Half Standings and 17th in the Overall Standings

The Top 10 stays the Top 10 overall with some shuffling, while the 2nd half standings are very close.

Fantasy Four Recap :: Deutsche Bank Championship

September 2, 2013 by Damian Daniels Leave a Comment

I hope everyone had a good long weekend! Hopefully everyone had some time to watch some golf, as it was a heck of a tournament. We all had to know Sergio couldn’t hold a 54-hole lead, right? Good win for Stenson, as he’s been on an absolute tear recently.

Only one person picked Stenson this week (Heather P) and she received 66 points, more than double 2nd place.

This moves Heather into a tie for 1st place for the month, 14th for the 2nd Half and 32nd Overall.

Top 3 didn’t change for the 2nd Half points and Top 3 didn’t change for Overall standings.
