Last week’s Czech Masters was pretty disappointing, since I had a huge share of Pieters who lost on the final hole. Overall it was a winning week, and we are always happy to see an American win overseas. Additionally, we had a backdoor top-25 by Chase Koepka, which was cool to see. This week, we […]
I was skeptical about the Olympic golf event, but Stenson, Rose, and Kuchar made it a memorable week. I picked Rose to win, so that was a nice win for me. Ultimately, I think golf received a lot of positive attention, as some of the game’s elites contended and Gil Hanse’s course was phenomenal. It […]
Although there’s been a ton of debate about whether or not golf should be an Olympic sport, I think it’s awesome that we get to write about it, watch history, and be involved in a small way. I grew up a huge sports fan, and loved watching the Olympic Games, so to see some guys […]
The final major of the 2016 PGA Tour Season (“Glory’s Last Shot”) is upon us this week, which means we get to burn another pile of money in the Millionaire Maker GPP on DraftKings. I’m still surprised that they’ve kept the entry fee and payout structure where they are considering the backlash and lack of […]
Not only was the Scottish Open an absolutely awesome event to watch on TV, but we absolutely nailed the picks! Of the fifteen players written up in this column, thirteen made the cut, including Noren (1st), Hatton (2nd), Colsaerts (3rd), Sullivan (6th), Stenson (13th), Kaymer (13th), and Wattel (21st). Our deepest punt, Chris Hanson ($5,200), […]
This week, we are off to the Scottish Open, the annual Open Championship tune-up event. Many of the top Europeans play here, as do many Americans. This year, the field headliners include Henrik Stenson, Branden Grace, Martin Kaymer, Phil Mickelson, Shane Lowry, and Patrick Reed. The Scottish Open has changed courses over the years, […]
Last week was a bit of a challenge (for everyone) with a lot of the chalk missing the cut on Friday. Casualties included Danny Willett, Rikard Karlberg, and Tyrrell Hatton. Ultimately, Henrik Stenson got a much-needed win, much to the dismay of those of us who rostered him at the U.S. Open. This week, […]
*pictured: Brandon Stone What an awesome U.S. Open we had last weekend, with Dustin Johnson finally getting his 1st major (and well-deserved). Oakmont held up fantastically, and we had a ton of drama all week long. From our European Tour preview, we had some great performances out of Gregory Bourdy, Branden Grace, and Matthew Fitzpatrick. […]
It was a pretty terrible week at the Lyoness Open, mostly thanks to late Friday collapses by Callum Shinkwin and David Lipsky. Also, I swapped Ashun Wu out of two lineups last minute and added English young gun Matt Wallace (who MC). Tough one. But moving on this week… we have the second major […]
It was a pretty successful week at the Nordea Masters (which could have been extremely successful if not for the Thomas Pieters WD on Thursday). Matthew Fitzpatrick notched his second career win and showed some of the promise that he has. We’ve seen him a few times over in the U.S. this year – most […]
Welcome to the first edition of my new European Tour DFS preview article! I’m still looking for a good name for the column, so make your submissions to me on Twitter (@RBaroff427). I’ll still be making some picks and lineups for PGA DFS, but ultimately my focus will be on digging through European Tour data […]
Sergioooooooo! As good as it was to see him finally get the monkey off his back, I’m one of the many players who had a rather large piece of Brooks Koepka. We don’t like to use the “c” word, but Johnny Miller would have been proud of that choke job. Overall it wasn’t a […]
