Key double-weighted week for both the OFL Overall and Fall Finish comps.

Watch out for the deadline - 1am Thursday morning.

No Sergio after all, that's a shame.

Would have felt honour-bound to pick him, but did think he'd struggle after two highly stressed weeks.

His drop out does make a difference, for example the overall leader now only has 5 teeing up at the HSBC.

He needs to decide whether to use one of his two remaining transfers :?

A good start for my 'best' OFL team, but Bradley cost me 20 BR points! :(

Decided to put Aitken on the bench and bring in McIlroy. :)

FS Record: Fantasy league golf -Open winner 07. Husband of Callaway wedge winner Todays golfer 08. T-shirt winner Pro Golf 08. WOW!
Only have Bradley in one team................Mannassero in the same team :roll:

Having watched the rounds - Cant see Mcilroy having a round worse than today and it looks like it willbe a brilliant 4 days.

Bradley really is performing as a top 5 player at the moment - I like that he really sets high stds for himself - pushed an 8 iron about 5 yards left (Still on the green) and was really disgusted. Hits a long ball, good around the greens - really showing it was no fluke. The funniest stat flashed up was career winnings
They were a bit like this

2009 - $8900
2010 - $286000
2011 - £3850000

Not bad progression - but like my golf but sadly mine is my handicap

Keegan has a point to prove to Fred Couples

Betting going into final round:
Code:
to R3               Odds
-16 F Jacobson   Swe   2
-14 L Oosthuizen SA    4
-13 A Scott      Aus   4
-12 R McIlroy    NI    6
-12 L Westwood   Eng   8
-11 M Kaymer     Ger  20
-11 G McDowell   NI   33
-10 P Casey      Eng  50
-10 B v Pelt     US   80
-10 XJ Zhang     Chn 200
-9  K Bradley    US  100
-9  H Mahan      US  100
-9  I Poulter    Eng 120
-9  J Vegas      Ven 175

Good prediction, padmole, that Rory McIlroy would progress after day one: 70-69-65. No one else around the top of the leaderboard has shown daily improvement bar Lee Westwood, 69-68-67.

So, on above odds, previous course form and stats showing he needs match practice to reach his best, Westwood seems the man to follow.

The Ice-Man Kaymer strikes again, what a round!

Shame I took him out my Fall Finish team for Westwood :|

Still, this has a rather nice look to it:


World rankings

    1. Luke Donald
    2. Rory McIlroy
    3. Lee Westwood
    4. Martin Kaymer


And a mention for Graeme McDowell - two 67s this weekend, a tad better than the 81 and 82 last weekend :shock:

Impressive turnaround 'for sure' 8-)
