The playoffs are underway!
It was a shock to the system as the FedExCup bonus points got allotted with quadruple the points going for each position. The league saw some big moves - both up and down - which means the same thing is possible in the opposite direction. One (wo)man's fortune this week could be given away next.
617 to 616 maintained his position atop the leaderboard after the first playoff event and increased his lead by a handful of points over the field. The rookie out of Michigan has proven that his fantasy game is up to the challenge by being a second half player. He's proven his mettle in the first event of the playoffs- now will he close it out over the final two events?
Vegas Vito answered the only question still posed to the 7th year veteran by the fantasy media: 'Do you have anything left in tank?' His response: a solid Top 10 finish exactly when he needed it most. He passed two solid contenders last week and has a shot to once again hoist the Cup he last held in 2014 - the league's inaugural season.
Smooth Greens all of a sudden finds himself right in the thick of it. Seemingly out of nowhere the 2nd year veteran has put on a charge for the ages, defying all projections and now with a view of the Jackson Cup. With just a 163-point margin we know that could vanish in an instant if he fielded 3 Top 5 finishers. But can he maintain focus as the field of available players dwindles to 75 and then 3o?
Reed's Rule Book fell from fantasy grace on Sunday after a solid 6 week stretch of play put him in striking distance of the lead. But thankfully fantasy grace is unlimited and his stint in purgatory isn't expected to last long. At 213 points back he knows his route back up the board will be difficult but what fantasy golf champion ever had it easy?
Welcome back to the Top 5 ByeBye Birdie. The Birdie had been toying with the idea of making a move for higher ground over the prior 5 weeks but only got as high as 6th. The only position she's held higher than 5th was 2nd for a 5 week stretch starting May 27. Could it be that ByeBye has figured something out and is ready for the final showdown?
There's plenty of cash still up for grabs. So, as two of the greatest philosophers of our time - The Chemical Brothers - said in their song Galvanize, "Don't Hold Back."
