Valspar Championship - 2021

Can Paul Casey win this event B2B2B? It's happened more times than I ever thought The rarity of three-peat winners at one event on the PGA TOUR.  Paul needs to schedule a quick stop to visit Tiger, get the recipe, and get some positive vibes going.  Currently 18 of the top 50 in the field and approximately 25% fan capacity.  I'm picking Reed.  He has good history there, is due, and most importantly, my FTx top player this week 🙂.  Who ya got?

Looking at the field, I think it comes down to Rose or Reed. Rose is trending up he just needs to finish. Since you are already are picking Reed I'll take Rose. But I do agree with your analysis on Reed and a quick look at his season stats seems to back you up.

I think the safe pick is JT, but would love to see Hovland get it done. Is this the week Scheffler finally gets the first tour win? Does Corey Conners break through? Should be a fun week!

I think DJ gets right this week and takes the trophy. My Fantasy team says DJ, Reed, JT, or Scheffler would work. Hopefully another week off will help Rory find something to finish out the year.

Well, you definitely have been working on it... that's quite a cast you have.  Good news for me is that you're not among my H2H play this week.

Yeah I was able to make a couple deals that netted me DJ and Reed for basically Xander and Wolff with some others mixed in I got off waivers.

Rory and Wolfe need to go play some practice rounds together.  The laws of nature suggest that much stink cannot occupy the same space for long and one of them will most assuredly emerge from the dark place.

So that’s the remedy!  I’ll have to try that next time I’m in a funk.

Conners has been really playing well and it would be nice to see that pay off and get the victory so sure why not lets pick him.

There's a huge difference between our courses at the end of April as opposed to March - this is a transitional time for us - rough is switching from overseeded rye to bermuda, much more daylight, hotter, less windy, firmer conditions possible because of very little rain for an additional month - of course Innisbrooke is able to mitigate some of that but still - I'm anxious to see how the course plays - you could get those greens super fast and firm if you wanted but the rough around them won't be anywhere near as thick.

my big risk for the week - Peter Uhlein. Pick him of Charl from my D group. We’ll see if that was the right call.

Let me tell you its hot and dry here with almost no chance of rain and very little wind.  That course is normally quite tough - often times the winner is in single digits.  With these conditions at this time of year I wouldn't be surprised to see them threaten 20 under.  It's amazing the difference that a month can make to course conditions.

Just now catching a little live coverage.  Not looking like Visacki will make the cut, but getting all kinds of love from the fans.  My FTx crew is making a splash 🙃.

He is now what Sergio used to be with is 51 waggles

When my wife asked if I wanted to leave Maine and move to where she grew up, I couldn't say no to Pinehurst, NC. I honestly don't spend much money on golf equipment, but I'm constantly reading reviews in case I ever get ready to buy

I swing left handed and have been the State of Maine Left Hander's champion since 1997, the last year they held the tournament. I'm currently a 7.1 handicap. Trying to get lower, but my gut gets in the way.
