You might have to make a call of your own bat rather than rely on the masses and experts? LOL just kidding mate
You're doing better than me although we both got raked over the coals in the last round.
I like picking guys on instinct and form, don't even look at ownership percentages, more fun that way for me, doesn't make me feel like an A.I Bot.

Bit of both. If I am in a hurry, I quickly look for the popular picks (I do try to avoid some highly owned choices still), otherwise I just skim names and usually get to 6 I want well before the end of the list - ownership doesn't come into it really. I more look at average points / cuts made / top 10s rather than ownership to make the final call, but often pick 1 to 2 roughie picks as well for a bit of fun. I do often flick through the names in the power rankings first before picking to get an idea of the list quality, but never copy their selections.

No idea how I have done so well to date, I haven't watched any golf in years (no Kayo / Foxtel etc), just been lucky I guess. That was always going to run out.

Okay explain this Rd3 swap thing.

ATM all my players are locked.

Even which I click on Rd3 they're all locked

Are you on a computer or phone? Not sure about phone cause I only use laptop for that stuff.
It's just a matter of clicking on the round 3 circle and then dragging and dropping the player where you want them.

Sorry bud I missed this

Biggest issue is delayed rd2 results.

Is there a way of presetting "swaps" during rd2

Not being awake to swap has cost me hundreds of points so far

You can just do rd3 even while Rd2 is still going. Click on the rd3 circle, and you're not locked out

Even when I do that all players are still "locked"

Oh well

Rd 3 is just about complete, it may have started when you tried. You should be able to change Rd 4 now, even though a few golfers haven't finished Rd 3.

Weird. I'd try reinstalling the app possibly?

Reckon I'll be lucky to have 4 make the cut this week with this rabble, shouldn't have bothered with Spieth, he's too up and down these days.

Don't suppose anyone watched the final round of the Valero Texas Open did you?
Pretty amazing back 9.
Bhatia was 6 shots in front going into the back 9 with Denny McCarthy the nearest chaser.
Denny has an unbelievable back 9 scoring 8 birdies in the last 9 holes to force a playoff!
Tragedy strikes one of the punters at the final hurdle in the most heart-breaking way, and it's something every one of us has done at the worst possible time. Youtube it for yourself.
There was no shortage of drama, that's for sure, one of the more memorable back 9's in PGA Tour history in the last years I can remember.

Crazy finish... Both 9 strokes ahead of 3rd... Feel for Denny;

And now it's The Masters!

 

[frosty1]

I assume either Sheffler putts terribly, or he wins?

I think it's his iron play that makes him such a force, he just flushes it closer to the hole than most in general.
Plenty of in form players in it with a real shot this year, should be fun to watch.
Can't wait for the Masters! Love Masters week

He seems to have fixed the putter, I hope he can win. Even a break-even putter should be enough you'd think.

I feel like I'm trying to pick the Melbourne Cup winner in fantasy this week. How to balance the form of those who ran the Caulfield Cup and other traditional lead up raced versus those who last races in May over 4800 at The Curragh.

You have to include the LIV Golf guys too if they qualify, Kopeka, obviously Rahm, etc...and it could easily just be a relative nobody who wins it lol

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. One lot who I have no idea how their form in small field, not relevant distance events will hold up, including a bunch of the favourites.

Rahm, Koepka, Smith, Niemann, Reed, even Mickelson have to be considered, but I have no idea what to make of them.

I'm going with a couple from each Tour, and a couple of wildcards just to spice things up a bit.
