Very entertaining day of golf. 8 out of 16 "pods" required extra holes to decide who advanced. Sergio scratched and clawed all day against Westwood, needing (and making) several mid-range putts just to stay alive, then drains an ace on the fourth overtime hole to advance. MacIntyre hits his drive to 4 feet for eagle on 18 to win his group. Pretty good stuff.
The Na versus DJ thing was weird, but then I remind myself that not only is Na probably one of the only guys that is going to say something like that, but likewise DJ is one of the only guys who is a bit "sloppy" when it comes to making sure a putt is conceded before picking it up. So, I think it was just a combination of extreme circumstances, and players of opposite extremes. Na is super intense, DJ is the exact opposite. But, I do think it bothered DJ a little bit. He went in the water on the very next hole, and refused to speak to the media afterwards. Not to mention, the post-match handshake was about as brief as they get. Whether you like the move by Na to say something or not, props to him for sticking in there in a match that meant basically nothing to him.
I need to remember next year to forget about picking any of the big guns in my local fantasy league. Just stick with the guys who typically get it done in this format, regardless of their "form" coming in.... Poulter, Kuchar, Bubba, Kisner, Sergio, Casey, etc. Yeah, a couple of those didn't advance, but if I had taken those six, I'd be a lot better off than with the group I took. I had Rahm and Horschel advance, but wasted picks on JT, DJ, and Bryson in the meantime. This tourney is a crapshoot, and certainly one where "horses for courses" (or maybe formats) applies.
