Has the Excel worksheet been updated? All I'm getting is the first couple of picks.

Not complaining at all. Just thought I might be doing something wrong.

Perhaps this was discussed before I joined but... If you have some source that ranks players, why is your team the second to worst in the list?   

Also I did like @KSB2424's team; I wanted to take Fleetwood, and struggled between Cantlay and Fowler.  I even like Kirk in the sixth.  This all concerns me because KSB clearly sucks at this golf fantasy stuff, so I'm afraid my team will underperform.    Or maybe I lucked out and he sucked up the bad mojo!

On paper, Roger Horseman has the best team. Not just saying that to put the whammy on the first place team.

 

My goal/hope was DJ in round 2 and Louis in round 5. Wasn't intentionally an all LIV thing. Just missed out on those 2.

my guess is he was at or near the best but his final pick was ranked in the 100's.  Even though some publication I saw were pretty high on Hiller.

I use a resource that has the players ranked 1- 155. I add up everyone's ranking. What killed my team was my flyer pick on Hiller in the 6th. He is ranked 111. Had I gone all chalk, my team would be much higher.

Interesting, thanks.  It might be interesting to see rankings for, say, only the first 4 rounds.  By the fifth and sixth it's a bit of a crapshoot.  Not to make extra work for you of course.

Thanks @bostonlager!  As expected, my flyer on Ferguson in the 6th had a similar effect.  Your ratings sure liked my first 5 (two top 10s, worst was 37).  Hope they are right!

Last year I set my alarm for 2:00 am eastern time so I could watch all the action. I kept up hitting snooze until about 4:00 and ended up feeling like sh1t all day. I don't know if I have it in me this year.

Try being on Pacific time.  It's absolutely fantastic being on the left coast for most things sports, particularly in the US, but Euro stuff can suck.

True dat.  All sports really -- local weekday games start around 7PM, east coast ones are a few hours earlier instead of later so while you may miss the beginning, you can always catch the end.  Football Sunday starts at 10 or 11am depending on DST (AZ doesn't do it, so we move to 11 half way through the season.

My wife is a rabid sports fan as well, as much as I am, and she is NOT a late person.  We would probably never move to the east coast solely on this topic alone.
