Brian Haman surprised me. He played well early and then played so well with the lead. Much like Cam Smith last year and Morikawa before that, great putting was the key and Hartman was solid, even though he does swing backwards. Kevin’s boy came through! But Kevin, how do you sleep at night? You “won” and yet…. Damn! Harman brought you 20 points but your other 4 guys chose to miss the cut. Net of 12 points for the tournament.

Your Commissioner had a good tournament with Tommy Kim’s 2nd place finish. My other guys couldn’t crack the top 20 but they made the cut. 20 points. But that wasn’t the best.

Big J maintained his lead as both he and Team Jaustin scored 22 points. Very impressive. Justin Thomas missed the cut for J and has only scored 7 points all season for his $5.28 salary. And while i wish to mock, the leaderboard keeps me humble. Team Jaustin also did well with top 10 finishes from both Rory and Cam Young. And yet - even 22 points wasn’t the winner.

NO - I did not see this coming. I ran the numbers several times, pulled out my slide rule, made sure to carry the one and still came up with a shocking result. Your British Open team sidebet winner is the infamous Bastard Team O’Brien. Yeah - I know. It doesn’t make sense. But 24 points to B.T.O. With Rahm’s 2nd place finish as well as a top 10 and a top 20 finish, that was largely enough to push him to the win. And that comment last week about him being in a 6th place tie with Jim, that’s long gone. Jim - you’re the only manager that went backwards!

Okay - pack your bags. We’re going to Minnesota with only two weekends left before the FGL shuts down for the season.
