I've literally got home from work, jumped in the bath, and gone from Dave's last post saying it's Murphy's pick. Then come back on here and see you've chosen the 2 alphabetically.

What are our other options if you rule Moore out?? Is Sabbatini yet to tee off?? Who else is yet to tee off from pool C??

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Swap seems the sensible option. No harm no foul.

 

[Spirederman]

Happy to replace Moore if anyone else has a problem, but thanks for the sportsmanship Dave.

I literally have no idea who hasn't started yet from pool C though, and atm haven't time to look myself.

Gah, I'm unhappy with our draft as it is. (Zach Johnson and Patrick Reed apart)

 

[Spirederman]

Can we swap Finau out for Chappell?

I have no issue with this, despite not knowing how either are getting on, or if they've teed-off yet.

 

[Spirederman]

I'm only happy with Z. Johnson as I had him first pick

I salute whoever picked Reed though, decent shout.

 

[Magic]

Alright well I believe you didn't know the scores so I'll allow you to have Moore and Sabbatini. We need to be more organised in future though.

Kournikova: Day, Stenson, Rose, Mahan, Reed, Snedeker
Gretzky: B.Watson, Fowler, Casey, Kuchar, English, Finau
Kahn: Z.Johnson, Furyk, Garcia, Reed, Moore, Sabbatini
Owens: Spieth, D.Johnson, Simpson, Matsuyama, Piercy, Watney
Tyson: McIlroy, Oosthuizen, Mickleson, Horchel, Poulter, Harman

As far as I can see, Kahn haven't offered anything after Reed. I have therefore chosen the first alphabetically in Pool C and Pool D to complete their list. If I've missed something then let me know.

Considering we did the worst in the challenge, I'm quite happy with our picks. McIlroy, Poults, Phil and Oosthuizen are always up there in the bigger comps and Horschel won this last year. No idea about Harman.

 

[TomPNE94]

Jason Day is -8 thru 12 :O 4 shots clear

 

[Leewilson]

Jim Furyk has dropped out already!

 

[hodge]

Magic I think a team picked Reed before us, unless there's two Reed's

Mcilroy, Poulter and Mickelson are -2, Horschel is +2, Oosthuizen and Harman +1

This should be right:

Kournikova: Day, Stenson, Rose, Mahan, Streb, Snedeker
Gretzky: B.Watson, Fowler, Casey, Kuchar, English, Finau
Kahn: Z.Johnson, Furyk, Garcia, Reed, Moore, Sabbatini
Owens: Spieth, D.Johnson, Simpson, Matsuyama, Piercy, Watney
Tyson: McIlroy, Oosthuizen, Mickleson, Horchel, Poulter, Harman

Early update:

Kournikova: Day (-8), Stenson, Rose (-3), Mahan (-3), Streb (+1), Snedeker (-2) = -16
Gretzky: B.Watson (-1), Fowler (-1), Casey (-2), Kuchar (-3), English (-2), Finau (+1) = -8
Kahn: Z.Johnson (-4), Furyk (WD), Garcia (-2), Reed (-1), Moore (-1), Sabbatini (+2) = -6
Owens: Spieth (-4), D.Johnson (+1), Simpson (+4), Matsuyama (+2), Piercy (-4), Watney (-2) = -3
Tyson: McIlroy (-3), Oosthuizen, Mickleson (-2), Horchel (+2), Poulter (-2), Harman (+1) = -4

It's never smooth is it?! Furyk withdraws with injury after 6 holes. Not really sure what to do about that. Won't be picking up a penalty for not making the cut so don't worry about that but whether a replacement can be made I don't know...

 

[Spirederman]

Jim Furyk has dropped out already!

He was the one I was most disappointed that my teammates picked while I was at work. He's past it....

Along with Garcia who is nothing but a brilliant Ryder Cup golfer and will never win a big 'un.

 

[Magic]

I don't think there is a cut in this tournament?

Shows what I know about golf

Well that's fine then. I guess Furyk will just score a neutral 0.

 

[Magic]

The late change from alphabetical picks may have backfired. Pool D's Berger slots into 2nd after a 6 under par opening round! Day currently 10 under.

 

[Spirederman]

Obviously if there is a cut and Furyk is gone, then as Moore replaced the pool C player, the natural thing to do would be to give us Berger back.

You know I'm right.

 

[JJH]

We've got Zach Johnson 7 shots off the lead, and Garcia 9. Day's set the early pace very highly although.

 

[Magic]

Day -12 followed by Berger(!) -10 with Na, Watson and Todd all 9 under.

Berger's our trade for Furyk right Magic?

Right?????

Magic??????????????

 

[Veggie Legs]

Berger now has a share of the lead

Snedeker is letting our team down, he's had a mare today.

Can't believe Berger, I was far too hasty swapping him out, but I'd wanted Moore out of Pool C from the start.

More than happy to take full responsibility for this even though I doubt anyone else on my team would have picked Berger.

 

[Veggie Legs]

I think we're on -38 after round 2. Anyone else worked out their score? I can't be bothered to do all of them.

 

[Veggie Legs]

Very tight then, the bonus points for winning could be crucial. Why have Owens got -6? No one has the players currently in second or third.

 

[Magic]

That first pick looking crucial!

 

[Spirederman]

Plenty of time for that scoreboard to flip on its head.

Not overly worried yet.

 

[Magic]

Day is on fire!

 

[Murphy]

Considering I have no bloody clue about golf I think we're doing pretty well! Piercy's up there.

 

[Magic]

Can Owens force a dramatic win despite only finishing 4th in Only Connect?
