I had Bubba at Hero event, and the first time he won the Masters I won some nice money on him...I think it's helps that some people don't want to pick him; for a short field, he was incredibly low % owned on DK for Hero tourney; I just read that he doesn't like the course at TPC Scottsdale, which seems like a strange thing to say right before a tournament

[highdraw69]

ended up using Bubba, Streelman, Laird and Piercy for most of my DK lineups...would've considered straight up wins bets on the latter 3 except I don't have an account for that!

[CommerceTiger]

I went

 

Bubba

Thomas

Laird

Finau

Malnati

Summerhayes

[1puttTUT]

Koepka

Woodland

Lee

Laird

Kauffman

Knost

 

 

Rickie

Kirk

Thomas

Piercy

Berger

Swafford

[bmitchem33]

I have 5 lineups and not looking like a single one will have all golfers making the cut........fail.

[Gamble Gamble]

I got crushed this week too... Cooling off until the Masters

[bmitchem33]

Somehow ended up pulling off a couple of small wins this past week so I didn't lose all my money on DK. Picked Hideki as the winner in my $50 league also so off to a pretty good start to my season in that league ($50 buy in with 50 players)

[highdraw69]

well done bmitchem...not sure how, but I cashed in a 50/50 with this lineup...also, cashed on the final DK nfl pools, and I will sorely miss nfl, golf seems much more difficult; cut is interesting this week at Pebble, with 3 rounds for all, then only 60 for Sunday (at least I think that is how it works)

 

Kaufman MC

Streelman MC

Kizzire T60

Laird T41

Piercy T45

Bubba T14

[1puttTUT]

I was able to cash last week and now I'll probably get addicted...

[knock it close]

Might actually get back into the golf game this week, looking at:

Matsu 22

JT 33

Laird 50

Finau 80

Smylie 100

Levin 250

Hate myself for not playing this, lost a bunch on CBB tuesday, wednesday and needed to save my account for superbowl. Whatever...

[Gamble Gamble]

[bmitchem33]

Spieth worth the $ this week on DK or do you go with Sneds with the hot hand and save a few bucks?

[highdraw69]

I used spieth in only one lineup, that price basically makes you use the bottom price to fill out a lineup; oddly enough, I didn't use sneds on any of my lineups, so he's probably a guaranteed winner; part of me wonders if spieth needs more than a week off after admittedly being tired galavanting around the globe the previous few weeks...I keep coming up with JB and Jimmy W and even DJ with most of my lineups

 

I think most players are going to go with a "stars and scrubs" approach this week, especially with this event's history of multiple repeat winners and in form top players, so it makes sense to go S&S for cash games if you feel you can't fade the big dawgs, and then maybe go more mid-level balanced for tourneys in case the stars don't perform; I also think the extended cut line this week favors the S&S approach, as you get everybody for at least 3 rounds, but then it's a little tougher to get everybody for the final round; with the free round available the scrub portion should either be guys you feel will make the cut, or guys who sling birdies and eagles and rack up points even if they miss the cut; these courses are really short and the weather is going to be nice, so it should be a birdie fest

[highdraw69]

sooooo ... anyone have any interesting bets going on? I actually have Bronson burgoon on a DK lineup for the brief joy that will bring me...I also have Koepka (who is low-owned) and who looks great...my top pick was JB and he is looking good so far...the bad news? I have Wilcox on several lineups and he started birdie-birdie then forgot how to play golf...

[knock it close]

I had small plays on Na and Duf to be first round leaders.

[1puttTUT]

I used a lot of Jimmy Walker with some Phil and Na mixed in. So far my scrubs aren't faring so well.

[Gamble Gamble]

My girlfriend made 2 teams and I made 2. Both of hers are decimating mine...

[Matt J]

My fantasy picks have been pathetic after some beginner's luck has worn off.

 

Currently, have Davis Love and Charlie Beljan at T126 and T140 respectively, at a cumulative +6. Can anyone say missed cut?

 

Hopefully FIGJAM will pull his weight and not blow up between now and Sunday. Sned's could still make a run from Even.

[bmitchem33]

Summerhays is killing my teams. McGirt too.

[highdraw69]

i'm surprised DK doesn't do some daily games for PGA Tour, especially on these west coast tourneys where they are playing different courses, would make for some interesting strategy each day

[1puttTUT]

Summerhays is killing my teams. McGirt too.

 

I also had McGirt in a line-up. It would have been hard to pick someone who did worse in the first round if we tried!

[bmitchem33]

Well I also accomplished that as in one of my lineups I had Trahan lol

[CommerceTiger]

Summerhayes...

[bmitchem33]

Bowditch pisses me off too, I usually pick him due to low cost and the one time I don't he figures it out.....

[highdraw69]

bowditch is crazy difficult to predict form; I find aussies in general (outside of Day) very difficult to handicap for some reason; it stands to make sense they would play well on the west coast swing since many of them played over the winter in Australia and won't be rusty, but I often struggle to know when they will fire

[bmitchem33]

Henley is another guy I pick with high hopes then ends up blowing up.....

He is a head case, like actually battles with depression, but he seems like a good guy. I like rooting for him when he has a shot.

[bmitchem33]

Pretty solid field this week. DJ has a pretty good track record and if you don't want to spend the big $ on Spieth or Rory I think he's a good bet. Any other hunches?

[Gamble Gamble]

went longballers this week...
