Pigheadedness is exactly what risk/reward is checking for.

Weak enough field this week cos the WGC and the PGA are coming up. Finau still won’t win

I'd love to see Finau win, one of my favourite golfers.

I second this! Still relatively young at 30. I fancy him to win a few big ones. & maybe a Masters one day.
Actually i predict he wins a Masters before RMcI.:cool:

I've backed him in the last 4 majors. think he could potentially win a major before a normal tournament. Big Call I know.

If toni wins a major it'll be a back door one, like he really seems to let the pressure get to him then most when in winning positions.

It's a shame as I echo what's been said he seemsike a really good guy

Tis a big call....but entirely possible! He has a very decent record in the Majors.
My own take on him is he needs to finish out and win a big PGA event before he can win a Major.
Only been playing in the Majors since 2015. 15 Majors appearances and 8 top 20s and just 3 MC's.
Saw him at Portrush and he played some exceptional golf. Even on that Sunday.

3m open is a great chance for Finau to get a win. Putting isn't difficult which is a big advantage for him. Fairways are very wide too. Approach is key and he's good at that.

Deeper Blue

DJ +8 through 14 holes at the 3M Open, looking like he won't break 80 for the third round in a row. And he won on his last start before that! Crazy game

These things happen. Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if he turns the game around and goes and win either the WGC or the PGA in the next few weeks.

Yup I'd say he's taking it easy after the win, reckon he'll focus again and contend at the PGA.

I see Fleetwood finally made the trip over.

DJ withdrew. Wonder what’s going on with him.

If you have 4/6 MCs you're done regardless of where he finishes.

Unless ons it cash games lots of the high percentage players missed the cut.

Most big comps had 1-2 % 6/6

Although 4 seems impossible to come back from tbf

Deeper Blue

If Finau wants to be considered a top player he should be winning tournaments like this from the position he's in.

I hope he does it tonight but I wouldn't be massively confident.

Sorry for off topic posts here, but I've went from never hearing about draftkings to subscribing to fantasy national and entering 20-40 teams in comps the last 3 weeks, help!!! Oh and a 6/6 what's that? Rare as rocking horse droppings that!

Anyone see the drop Werenski took on 16?! Extremely dodgy to say the least.

He’s getting some negative publicity with his Blue Lives Matter wristband as well.

6/6 is when all of your selected players in DK make the cut.
I had 2/6! Finau and Thompson. I was in a league of 128,000 players and finished 63,000
I don’t think anybody who fin in the top 20 had either Thompson or Long. That has to be a first?

The drop was as much stupid as it was strange.
No advantage to him.

And I don’t even want to know what blue lives is about.
I’ll bet it’s also stupid and strange!

We should or can start a thread here on it or maybe in the fantasy forum if we want to discuss it, for now and future maybe just so we arent clogging up here.

Have to run it by the appropriate mods first though

He should have been penalised IMO. He was clearly trying to drop in such a way to get it to roll back into the hazard twice, so he could place it the third time, but in doing so he actually dropped it straight into the hazard.

Blue Lives Matter is a countermovement in the United States advocating that those who are prosecuted and convicted of killing law enforcement officers should be sentenced under hate crime statutes.

So instead of getting life or the death penalty, it'll be life or the death penalty AND it'll be because they hated cops

Bryson's carry on is bordering on cheating at this stage. Trying to get relief from an ant hole because his ball is behind a stick? C'mon, FFS.
