Fantasy US Open Recap

Woof.

That's about all I can say about the US Open in terms of my fantasy team. And everyone's fantasy team. I guess Team Toph gets a pass, but when 5 out of the 6 teams combined to have 15 players +9 or worse... Not good.

Because so many players that got drafted missed the cut, we had to create four tiers of scoring. Let's start from the bottom:

The Bottom Tier - All Players Missed Cut
Just kidding. That'd be impossibly bad.

The Fourth Tier - 3 Players Missed Cut
6. Team Jay (+39)

  • Luke Donald (+11)(MC)
  • Hunter Mahan (+10)
  • Louis Oosthuizen (+9)(MC)
  • Martin Laird (+9)(MC)
The Third Tier - 2 Players Missed Cut
5. Team Alex (+42)
  • Lee Westwood (+5)
  • Bubba Watson (+9)(MC)
  • Jason Day (+15)
  • Peter Hanson (+13)(MC)
The Second Tier - 1 Player Missed Cut
4. Team Trevor (+42)
  • Rory McIlroy (+10)(MC)
  • Rickie Fowler (+11)
  • Charl Schwartzel (+10)
  • Ian Poulter (+11)
3. Team Trova (+29)
  • Tiger Woods (+7)
  • Padraig Harrington (+3)
  • Francesco Molinari (+9)
  • Geoff Ogilvy (+10)(MC)
The Top Tier - All Players Made Cut
2. Team Dave (+38)
  • Phil Mickelson (+16)
  • KJ Choi (+6)
  • Adam Scott (+6)
  • Sergio Garcia (+10)
1. Team Toph
  • Justin Rose (+7)
  • Martin Kaymer (+6)
  • Graeme McDowell (+2)
  • Matt Kuchar (+8)
And now for some fun bullets of fact:
  • Nobody in the whole tournament finished below par overall. 
  • The lowest round (of drafted players) was Lee Westwood's Saturday 67. 
  • The highest round (odp) was Luke Donald's Thursday 79. 
  • The lowest team score for a single day was Chris' Saturday 279 (-1). 
  • The highest? Jay's opening day 305 (+25).
  • US Open champion Webb Simpson was not drafted. But he will be next time.

  1. Technically, I beat Dave. Just saying.

  2. Yeah but because Olympic was such a tough course, Ogilvy missing the cut actually helped you. It was Chris' rule. I would have scored it Chris-Mark-Dave-Jason-Alex-Trevor
