I'm leaving Saturday morning for 10 days in Iceland. I will TRY to get a team posted, but with travel, fun and a poker meetup, no promises.

Y'all keep posting to this thread as the deadline approaches, and I will do my best.

Here's the reasoning behind the selection of those four golfers for your Open Championship best-ball team:

The goal was to build a strong team under a $33,000 salary cap, focusing on players who perform well in a best-ball format (consistent play, ability to make birdies, and avoid high scores).

1. Scottie Scheffler ($9,700):
   
   • Reasoning: As the highest-ranked player and arguably the most consistent golfer in the world, Scheffler provides an incredibly high floor. In a best-ball format, he's your anchor, virtually guaranteeing a low score on most holes. He's a consistent birdie-maker and rarely has major blow-up holes, which is crucial for this format. His price reflects his elite status, and securing him as the top player was a priority.
2. Xander Schauffele ($9,400):
   
   • Reasoning: Schauffele is a remarkably consistent performer, especially in major championships. He has a very complete game, excelling in all facets. He's known for his steady play and ability to grind out pars and birdies, making him a reliable choice for best-ball. He brings a strong combination of ball-striking and short game, which are vital for links golf.
3. Rickie Fowler ($7,000):
   
   • Reasoning: Fowler offers excellent value at his price point. He's a fan favorite with a strong history of performing well in major championships and has shown good form recently. He's a good all-around player with the ability to get hot with his putter, which can lead to crucial birdies in a best-ball scenario. He provides solid depth and upside for his salary.
4. Lucas Glover ($6,700):
   
   • Reasoning: Glover is a very consistent ball-striker, especially with his irons, and can often be a good value play. While not always in the headlines, he has a major championship win to his name (U.S. Open) and has shown he can contend when his game is on. At $6,700, he provides a reliable option to fill out the roster, contributing solid scores without breaking the bank, allowing for the inclusion of the higher-priced stars.

This team balances the undisputed top player with strong, consistent major contenders and two value picks who can contribute important scores, all while staying precisely within your $33,000 salary cap.

My boy Bryan Newman knows that the goal is to get into the hole in the 'least' amount of stokes, right?

There’s supposed to be logic applied? I’ve been doing this wrong!

It's not working out too well yet but it's still early.

That Glover pick could be the pick of the year.....NICE

 

[dpeks13]

Solid day 1 showing for PCF

 

[Jonesey07]

Gotta love having all four guys bogey the same hole.

 

[tooth_doc]

Gotta love having all four guys bogey the same hole.

 

[dpeks13]

not updating again, but decent start for me -5 through the front 9 for 2 of my guys that have teed off already

 

[JDPoker]

My guys put up a great score today, but with only two making the cut it does not look good.

 

[tooth_doc]

I found out after they teed off Thur that Ryggs Johnston is a Montana kid...... I would have taken him as my 4th guy... He's playing pretty good. Especially considering golf season in MT is 6 weeks long.
