2005 ESPN Fantasy Golf League

[Mr High Anxiety]

Tiger is on the prowl today.

[Rafcin]

Oh man, if this league was based on 1st round only I'd definitelly kick some serious A.. -13 - I belive the best ? Too bad they'll go down (up?) from there

[Ben]

Yeah, -13 is looking pretty damn hot!

As for myself, I've had a bunch of weeks in a row with some crappy picks.

[Mr High Anxiety]

Looks like the course is playing pretty tough today. I guess the rain is having a major factor. So far I'm -1 with Weir and Jesper done.

[iacas]

Indeed. It's 8pm ET and I'm at -4, but CHIII and TW didn't even play at all yet! Will the Nissan become a three-round event?

[Mr_Slice]

I saw an interview on TGC's post-game show with the Tournament Director. He said (and I paraphrase), "We've signed on to play four rounds of golf and we intend to play four rounds of golf. We're all aware that match play starts next Wednesday. Our job is to get in four rounds of golf."

Soooo... hopefully they finish up. Although this weather is pretty nasty.

[Mr_Slice]

I actually sat down to watch the Nissan Open today. Too bad no golf was played.

So, next week should be a REAL challenge. Match play and fantasy? WOW!

[iacas]

They're finally playing again! Too bad Tiger keeps making pars. If I shoot only -5 today that's going to be really bad.

[Ben]

Please oh please let this only be a two round event. My team is sucking major butt! Eagle from CHIII on 17 today though!

[Mr_Slice]

WTF!?

I already has serious complaints about ESPN's pathetic updating skills, but they have called the Nissan Open after two rounds and finalized scores. While I understand that this is a unique and odd situation, it simply is not fair to call the tourney after only two rounds IF the golfers are out there playing a third round today.

What infuriates me even more is that my Round 2 score never changed after Friday. As of Friday afternoon I was +2, then Sunday evening I was -8. ESPN shows my Round 2 score as 2.

[Mr_Slice]

I did some searching on the message boards and found this statement, supposedly from ESPN:

"The points for the Nissan tournament will be updated at the conclusion of the tournament.

You may now select golfers for the next tournament and it won't change your Nissan roster.

The match play scoring will be posted soon."

That makes me feel a tad bit better.

[iacas]

Me too. My score didn't change after Friday, either. I know CHIII had an eagle on 17, so I'll take those points, please.

[iacas]

It's gonna be either Adam Scott or Chad Campbell, and Tiger Woods will not be the new #1.

Tournament shortened due to inclement weather. Two-man playoff will determine the winner. Playoff set for Monday, February 21st, at 9:30 AM PST.

[Ben]

Ah man, I went from 85th spot last week to 153rd this week. With a total of -18 I didn't think I'd loose that much ground. Oh well, on to the WGC.

[iacas]

On to the WGC. It's getting tougher to choose people - the stars are no longer in the 13 range but creeping towards 20. You really have to spread your picks now...

[iacas]

Note on ESPN today:

Match Play Note: Entry scores will be determined by golfer earnings.

That helps clear some confusion up.

[Mr High Anxiety]

Finally we get some golf. Hopefully the rain stays away.

[Ben]

Note on ESPN today:

I'm confused?!

Is it still a best ball format this week? In anycase, 1 down 3 to go. Westwood come through for me. My only real threat is Lonard's tough match against Couples. 8 seed vs 9 seed.
