Yahoo fantasy golf 2016

[Homebrewer]

Man...with Yahoo's current troubles it's getting harder and harder just to get into the fantasy board now. Is it just me or does it seem really slow at yahoo these days. It's like they are cramming so many ads on each page that it's interfering with loading anything on their site.

Congressional looks to be playing tough for these guys this week..

[Tank]

i agree with the load time. it's been especially difficult on my tablet. glad to know it's not just me.

Withdrawn...that's all I can find this morn. Probably illness, but don't really know.

I had him too..

[Tank]

i think most of us had adam scott, too.

i got a whopping 10 points yesterday. lol.

[Homebrewer]

They haven't even totaled up or posted yesterdays scores for me.

Lets just hope Yahoo doesn't shut this thing down mid-season. I won't be joining any fantasy games on Yahoo in the future, that's fer shere.

yep. think i'll work on my bunker play, just in case they have an opening for an alternate.

[Homebrewer]

I'm going to work on bangers and stout.

[Homebrewer]

Just a reminder to set your rosters today for The Open.

[Tank]

Lol...me too.

Gotta think Rory is going to make an appearance sometime this season, although his recent form says otherwise.

Could Lefty put 4 rounds together in one week?

What will the weather be like? (rain and wind forecast at least 2 days fri and sun)

Could Sergio actually win a major? He's playing as well as anyone.

Is Adam Scott going to be a one and done type in Majors?

What's up with Jordon Speith's game?

[Homebrewer]

I'm actually leaning a little bit towards Lefty. His creativity around greens and in hazards/traps and his experience might be the difference during a tough week. Rory should have an edge with experience of the conditions also.

That said I might not play either of them. There's only 4 or 5 hours left to decide. 

[Tank]

my biggest issue is which euros to choose. not always aware of which ones are playing well on their tour, so that makes it tougher to narrow down. stenson is such a good golfer, but he really doesn't do much until the end of the season. do i go with him? what about the germans? or any of the british golfers?

agree about spieth - he's looked shaky so many times this year, but how do you ignore all that talent?

[Homebrewer]

Well, coverage begins on the golf channel tonight at 10:30 our time! How many stouts can we drink before falling asleep?

They literally tee off for 9 or 10 hours. All players start from the first tee. Long days in Scotland this time of year, it's like Alaska.

-4 through the first eight holes. One stroke behind the leader Patrick Reed, who already finished.

-8 through 17 (Of course he's on my bench for round 1 with Rory starting) I've now corrected that mistake.

Edit: Ties course record 63

[Homebrewer]

How did this not go in!!

Would have set a new record (62) unbefuckingbelievable

[Tank]

what a great putt! bummer that the cup said no. all in all, a truly remarkable round by lefty. good for him.

[Homebrewer]

Boy the weather looks more like Scotland today. Gusty as hell with cold sprinkly spray.

More like it.

[fan_since79]

Jhonattan Vegas had an excellent chance at 59 at the Barbasol today. He was -8 through eight holes on a par-71 course.

He's cooled off a bit but still has a chance, but needs three birdies in his final four holes to do it.

[fan_since79]

He settled for a 60.

A lot of people thought his career was finished, but he's enjoying a 6-shot lead now.

 

[Tank]

i ended up picking stenson. pretty glad i did.

i have westwood and garcia on my team. neither one of them is a good finisher in the majors. going with sergio sunday because, well, just because.

[Lou]

2 shot swing on the 1st. Lefty takes the early lead. 

[Tank]

Lefty - 65

Stenson - 63

not likely to see a final round duo battle it out like that again.

in the meantime, big fantasy points for the ol tankmeister today.
