OT: US Open Golf Contest - Contest & Tourney discussion

[mostonmike]

Just maoling to go, then I can get my squad together. And don’t forget this 6th player allocation which is still to come….

All remaining undrafted players in the pool will be shuffled (* into ranking order) and a 6th player will be allocated to each participant in reverse order of the initial draft (meaning I will get the first player from the remaining pool).

[mostonmike]

By the way, not heard if anyone wants to join in and follow me in the draft.

Anyone who still wants to join, you have until maoling and myself have picked to register your interest. Otherwise I will just do the 6th player allocation after I am done.

Ok, here is the state of play. England play their opening game in the World Cup at 9pm BST / 1pm PDT so chances are I will not be in a decent shape to sort out the final admin tonight.....

So, if maoling doesn't get in touch his allocated players are

Tommy Fleetwood
Sam Burns
Bob McIntyre
Ryan Gerard
Nick Taylor

I will then select

Matt Fitzpatrick
Jordan Speith
Sepp Straka
Jason Day
Tony Finau

And the allocated 6th players will be

Ludvig Aberg - mostonmike
Aaron Rai - maoling
Tyrell Hatton - Sibelius Hindemith
Justin Rose - Bil522
Hideki Matsuyami - TLO Idaho
Chris Gotterup - rockycola
Patrick Cantlay - D-Train
Joaquin Niemann - baller
Kristoffer Reitan - XpertDBA.

And if maoling does select a squad, I'll delete this post and sort out the stuff tomorrow morning (i.e. after midnight your time)

[AT Fresno]

I have picked Ludwig Aberg, Jordan Spieth, Nicholai Hojgaard, Jason Day, Dustin Johnson .......these for Terry Read. (AT Fresno)

Hi Terry, can't let them through as I'd selected Aberg, Speith and Day - this one is a contest where everyone has unique players.

Sorry man - only option open to you at this late stage is to pick a really scratch outfit from the players remaining from our pool

Nicolai Hojgaard *** available ***
Maverick McNealy
Gary Woodland
Alex Noren
Adam Scott
J.T Poston
Dustin Johnson *** available ***
Jacob Bridgeman
Thomas Detry
Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen
Max Homa
Taylor Pendrith
Davis Thompson
Matt McCarty
& rest of the field not already selected

Happy if you want to pick 4 others from this pile to get you to 6 players......

[mostonmike]

I will then select

Matt Fitzpatrick
Jordan Speith
Sepp Straka
Jason Day
Tony Finau

FInau looks like the only scratch from our selections, so I will take Harry Hall instead. He is in the same group.

Mike, don't you just hate it when people are on time

Great start for Bil, pleased for you - especially as you pointed out that you were well ahead of time with your picks. Well played so far.

Play suspended a couple of times on day 1 and they abandoned at 8:25pm EDT / 5:25pm PDT / 1:25am BST

1st Round now set to resume at 6:35am EDT / 3:35am PDT / 11:35am BST.

The scoreboard will go all messy when the second round starts as ESPN decide to add that +/- column which fks up my spreadsheet. As soon as I catch it I will fix it.

Golf seems a bit silly if play is starting at 3:35am on the West Coast in the country in which its being played if you ask me.
