I thought this week would shake up the standings. As usual, I was totally wrong. Nothing changed. The team of Paul & Monica won the Memorial tournament with 24 points. But team Jaustin stayed right behind with 22 points. Kevin picked up 18 points as those three franchises are clearly far ahead of the rest of the FGL.
B.T.O. - zero points at a Major. Crazy strategy you have!
Interesting that the points for the week closely mirror everyone’s place on the FGL leaderboard.
US Open coming up next. At Pinehurst where 25 years ago Payne Stewart won. Easy to forget about Payne; the original Fancy Pants. Dave had him that year.
Also 25 years ago this month, Big J and won the coveted Brewseum Cup over that pestering relentless team of Doug and Al.
Coverage for the US Open will mostly be on NBC with USA doing some early coverage. And just to add a twist, Peacock does a little Thursday and Friday coverage.
