Cruzer 1,992 Posted June 15, 2017 Billy HORSCHITT opens with a quad bogey 9 on the par five first hole. Somewhere cruzer has his pants around his ankles watching that. Thankful he didn't pick him again. Sorry, I'm obligated to say: Fock you Billy HORSCHIIT! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,172 Posted June 15, 2017 I hate to even say this, but, like every other tournament in the glorious history of the SpedEx cup, I think this is CBFs tournament to lose. WW and Dain in the second tier. He's already down 1 golfer. Needs 3 of 5 to make the cut at a US Open. Nothing a demi god like CB can't handle but that's not an easy task. Edit : guess he gets a replacement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cbfalcon 824 Posted June 15, 2017 I did say anyone, but it was early enough that it didn't change anything. Henley is on CBFs team I appreciate the decision amigo. I'll let everyone in on some deep behind the scenes truth here.....When I brought Phil up, I wasn't actually intending to choose him. Just wanted to stir things up in the 5th round. When Cruzer said "Are you going to commentate or pick?", I started to type in my intended choice.....but at the last second I started imagining a worked up and heartbroken WhiteWonder, and instinctive reflexes forced me to choose comedy over strategy. I stand by those instinctive reflexes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,172 Posted June 16, 2017 that moment where you realize you were deciding between Spieth and Fowler in round 1 and even though youre a big fowler fan, you took Speef. also that moment where you forgot about Marc Leishman in the 4th and took Webb focking Simpson. otherwise a solid day 1 for my squad.

DankNuggs 305 Posted June 16, 2017 Why did they cut the fescue on those 4 holes? They spent years getting this course ready, kept it closed until the tournament and second guessed themselves at the last minute when some players started whining.

cbfalcon 824 Posted June 16, 2017 The whole Phil distraction really got into our heads today. Imagine the 1927 Yankees not knowing until just before first pitch of Bob Meusel was going to show up because of some brat kid's teenage speech. This is the exact same thing. But we've had a team meeting and everyone seems ready to execute as planned going forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,172 Posted June 16, 2017 Standings after Round One: 1. Dain (-15) (E, +5, +6) 2. White Wonder (-12) (+1, +2, +4) 3. Nuggs (-9) (E, E, +2) 4. KSB (-7) (+2, +3, +4) 5. Pat (-4) (+1, +3, +7) 6. Ed (-3) (E, +1, +4) 7. CBF (-2) (+2, +4, +6) 8. Cruzer (E) (+2, +4, +7) 9. Fumble (+1) (+2, +4, +4) the only discrepancy I found was that I believe CBF was awarded Russell Henley in place of Mickelson which puts his team at -2 (Henley -1, An -1, Grace E) the score fumble had seemed to be using the Mickelson WD which would have put CBF at +1 I have also added the bottom 3 scores from each team just for the hell of it to show where everyones full team stands.

Fumbleweed 426 Posted June 16, 2017 Correct. Did he get credit for Henley then? I was under the impression that the withdrawal didn't come in time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,172 Posted June 16, 2017 from what im reading on page 7, Phil officially withdrew 20 minutes or so after the round started but Ed is giving Henley to CBF for Ed-ish reasons. So I think Henley's score counts and CBF is -2....... right where he wants to be Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And he didn't want to see a good man punished for doing what was right. I am confident Phil himself would feel the same way about me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,172 Posted June 17, 2017 Round 2 Scores 1. Dain: -16 with 4 making the cut (Bello +1) tie breaker high golfer -7 2. Nuggs: -16 with 5 making the cut (Reed -1, Woodland +1) 3. Wonder: -14 with 4 making the cut (Simpson +1) 4. Edjr: -10 only 3 made the cut 5. KSB: -5 with 4 making the cut (Zach Johnson +1) tie breaker high golfer -4 6. Pat: -5 with 4 making the cut (Stricker +1) 7. CBF: -2 only 3 made the cut 8. Cruz: +2 only 3 made the cut 9. Fumble: MC only 2 made the cut - Nuggs was propelled by Hideki's 7 under second round and is also the only guy with more than 4 making the cut - Ed is in a nice spot despite his first 3 picks missing the cut. - If CBF had to keep Phil, he would not have qualified for the weekend and Henley happens to be the guy keeping him afloat.

KSB2424 3,083 Posted June 17, 2017 My first two picks didn't make the cut. Nice job Dustin, you're no Tiger. Neither is Rory, Day, Rose.... any of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cbfalcon 824 Posted June 17, 2017 - If CBF had to keep Phil, he would not have qualified for the weekend and Henley happens to be the guy keeping him afloat.Butterfly effect amigo. Things that occur if I know I have to keep Phil:- Phil doesn't want to leave his greatest fan hanging, so pushes harder to get the graduation ceremony moved. - Hun An becomes a bigger key to my strategy. So I obviously take Yusaku Miyazato instead of Fat Pat Perez, because I know I need another chinese guy to make An more comfortable. Yokozuna made the cut as is, and it's a safe bet that Hun An plays much better. - With Rory being just ahead of Phil as the highest paid golfer in the world, Rory steps on the gas, as he knows a Phil win changes those rankings come 2018. And just like that all my guys are inside of the cut line and I'm in complete control. So the Henley allowance was quite a favor to the rest of you. But I'm good with it, as it wouldn't be fair if things didn't break my opponents way on occasion. Such are the moments that keep me driven. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
