always been a Schmidt fan--back before the Monty controversies...he's not due back until the 2nd week of Sept but I suspect he'll be back before that---he is certainly in my 4 along with Cole, Gil, Rodon----Stroman and Nasty are w-a-y on the outside looking in---Stroman finally looked decent yesterday as maybe we found something to his 2nd half swoons--he needs 8 days rest
6 weeks to see how it shakes out.....

2. Teams must be submitted prior to any of your picks teeing off on Thursday August 15th.
3. The winner will be the team with the highest total $$ at the end of the Tour Championship--ties will be broken by the most picks in the top 30 and then the cumulative total of your 10 players final FEDEX standings if needed .
***money total will include winnings from each of the first two events of the the Cup in addition to the FEDEX Cup bonus pool payout ($25M to the winner this year)***
NOTE: The Tour Championship has no purse as the dough is baked into the Fedex Bonus...
4. No gimmees or mulligans allowed.
5. Void where prohibited.
Hey----Rodon has turned back into a beast his last 4 starts----he sweats, snarls, gesticulates, stomps around, barks at umpires, throws too many pitches...
he's starting to look like a pitcher instead of a thrower----compared to the last several years, his FB usage is down while his changeup, curveball are up----slider about the same and he has added a cutter---and been effective doing it the last month
Field: AUG 15 - 18 FedEx St. Jude Championship TPC Southwind Memphis, TN • USA Purse $20,000,000 FEDEXCUP 2,000 pts

Rai and the Snowman......Red makes history with a 3-legged win at the Wyndham---nice pick
Mick holds the Seg 3 lead while Eli maintains the season overall with the 3 biggies to go
Congrats--1st time anybody has won a week with less than a full roster---you must have been good in the 3-legged races as a kid
NASCAR might have something to say on Tuesday about this finish---especially the Dillon team radio communications

Respect---for the sport---for yourself---for your competitor...there's a line between getting somebody loose and even helping a bit----but to flat out drive thru somebody is being an asshole---Dillon crossed that line
believe it or not, some people don't like getting turned into a wall or barrel rolled at 130-200 MPH
The Fedex Playoffs Pool is ALMOST open for business---I will put up the tiers and details on Monday when Kuchar decides to finish his last hole and thus the Wyndham and the PGA regular season---his finish could affect the seedings so we wait
https://thegolfnewsnet.com/ryan_ballengee/2024/08/11/matt-kuchars-refusal-to-finish-the-final-round-holds-up-the-official-wyndham-championship-finish-133022/
Revenge is a dish best served cold
WOW---Dillon runs thru the 22 and then turns the 11 to win it----gonna be a couple pissed off drivers
Poor Dillon---had the race and the playoffs locked up----caution
his season is over--he missed the fedex--play the damn hole--his playing partners did including the guy a shot back
Interesting how he got there---Greyserman had a 4 shot lead about a minute ago...
Never seen this---Kuchar chooses not to finish while everybody else does---I realize it's his prerogative but pretty selfish to the tournament and all the things that have to stay on hold until he plays 1 hole in the morning----I hope it snows
big move by Rai---inside the top 30
I see ya....
the last 3 from 3 feet
same password Hubnutz
make sure the H is a capital H
Crazy 4 holes for Greyserman...
oops...Greyserman with the snowman on 14 to drop back into a tie---yikes
pos_stock_hoarder is in both contests as Posh's Pics...
2 on a 4...sweet..that's 2 eagles today...
Cam Young looks like he hasn't played 36 since he was 14---boy needs a nap
Unfortunately for him, he's one of 3 with less than 5 years service that have options: Gil, Cousins, and him and he has been the odd man out...there are a couple guys on the horizon that fit that scenario: Trivino, Hamilton, Brubaker, Burdi, Effross, Gomez, Poteet, Warren----gettin' a bit late to see if any of those are a factor
the good news for Ron is he doesn't have to spend 15 days down like normal because he came up as the extra player on DH day so no restriction on staying in the minors
Finished 2nd last time out at the 3M---guy is on fire--watch out Scottie
He's moved from 64th to 31st----big money move if he keeps it
Ryo Hisatsune trying to force his way in
Grayghost joined both pools--welcome
Who would you have sent down---I tried to show it's not as easy a decision as saying "Blake sucks" every other post
