Im. He’s going to make 3-5 more starts than Day. I peg Im at 8-9 starts the rest of the way, Day is more like 5-6.

Memorial
3M
WGC FedEx
PGA Championship
Wyndham
Northern Trust
BMW
Tour Championship
US Open
Masters

Im is lock to qualify for the TC. If he takes a week off, it’ll probably be the 3M or Wyndham. Not sure if he’s chase the coin at the Wyndham but he is in position for a nice payday there. Day is 79 in the FedEx Cup so he needs to step on it to play the TC, and is dicey to make the BMW. I could be wrong on this, but I believe he also is not qualified for WGC since he is outside the top 50 in the OWGR. He’s 58, so would need a really good week this week to get back inside. He played the 3M last year but I doubt he plays it this year as it’d be 3 in a row.

I think the 3 or so extra starts sways the needle to Im. And 2 of those no cut free money starts.
That's a great analysis. Thanks for the help.

That was quite the impressive meltdown yesterday from Danny WIllett to cost me the win yesterday. He managed to go double, par, double, birdie, double. Most impressive was 18, where he needed a bogey for me to win. He hits his second shot to the rough 31 feet from the hole, and managed to make a double.

quite the race for second......if Todd didnt stink on Sunday's (two +5 rounds in final group) i could have a stranglehold on that with a strong demise at the WGC and Travelers

Need Todd to close one of these tournaments....he's been too close too many times to keep disappointing me

All this Georgia Bulldog talk this week......I guess I was ahead of the game with that drafting strategy a couple of years ago

The REAL interesting race to watch here is the one between @Deathofthebambino and I for last place.
It;'s not even that interesting. No chance I catch you. Over the weekend, I literally couldn't remember who my first round pick was (Gary Woodland apparently) and was way too lazy to look on here to remember.

I think my 2nd round pick, Stenson, quit golf, and my third round pick, Bubba, should probably quit golf. The rest of my team not named Oppenheim is about as useful as a pocket full of chocolate bars after the pants goes through the clothes dryer.

You have twice as many points as my team since the restart. My team is really, really bad.

The top of the draft will be interesting next year with DeChambeau, Im, Morikawa all in the mix with the traditional top picks Rory, Koepka, Thomas, Rahm, DJ, etc. What's the latest pick you would be disappointed with getting? 9, 10?
I think you could go as late as 14 or 15 next year before getting mad at a pick

7 of my guys made it, but I’m likely to lose three or four after the first tourney.

Been a weird (and weirdly frustrating) year ...
good point, first tourney no big deal, but it's who can get most guys to final 2 tourneys.....i have 5 guys under 40 right now and my 6th is at 73 so just need a average week to get him to BMW

306, row 14
6 in. 3 inside the top 19 (Im, Champ, Hatton). Im's a lock for TC, Champ and Hatton are 14 and 19 so in good shape to make it and probably just need to not suck the next 2 weeks to stay in. 2 unlikely to make it past this week (McDowell, Hoffman). Fleetwood is in the 85 range so it's doable for him to make it to the BMW if he has a good week down in Norton, but he hasn't really played well since coming back. He shot a 74 yesterday at an easy course and easy conditions.

So this weeks tournament is the last in the standings aside from the two majors that happen in the fall. The BMW next week will just pay out to the tournament (and fedex cup) winner but will not be included in the standings.

quite a battle for first.

This week is the BMW just to avoid confusion......so whoever wins the Tour Championship next week and the fedex cup that person gets the bonus

PS - Harris English has to be the steal of the draft

By the numbers (Draft Position vs. Rank), yes he is. (+133) Other notables, Brendan Steele (+114) and Patrick Rodgers (+105).
