Time flies when you come in 2nd - like I did in the PGA Championship... dang. It's been way too long since I sent anything - so let's give teams their due.

The site reflects all money won thus far correctly, but let's cover our 1st-half winners first. Here's how the top 5 stacked up:
First-half 1st: $225 - True Links | JP
First-half 2nd: $175 - Mediocre Men of the PGA | Michael Galvin
First-half 3rd: $125 - Rub of the Green | JP
First-half 4th: $75 - Dew Sweepers | Tony Rooney
First-half 5th: $50 - Bada Bing Bada Boom | Mark Parmenter

First off, let's talk about JP. What a lucky turd! He snagged 2 or the top 3 places in the 1st half of our season. Give us a break! With Si Woo, Coody and Matty Fitz on both teams, Morikawa has been the anchor on one team and Jacobsen the other. Let's see if he can ride high all the way through to the end.
Mediocre Men has been anything but! Currently in first place, Cam Young, Matty Fitz, Xander and rookie Reitan has helped him get there.
Dew Sweepers has a team with the usual suspects - where he scored is choosing Cam Young. Finally, Bada Bing Bada Boom took 5th with Cam Young as well, but he also owns Gotterup and Nic Hojgaard - both having their best seasons on tour.
Congrats guys.

Now let's walk it all the way back to the Players Championship in Week 9. You may recall that I was setting up this "5th Major" asking is someone ready to become truly elite. Well, the answer was YES! Cam Young, showing all of the talent since being a rookie on Tour, stepped up to the formidable 18th tee and held nothing back - ripping a drive that hadn't seen that distance in over a decade! I was a bit disappointed in Fitz. He was ripping drives all week and he played 18 too safe after Young's shot imho. Michael Galvin's Mediocre Men won the first big tourney of the year flaunting with the TOP 4 finishers (Young, Fitz, Xander, MacIntyre), banking almost 11M in one week - a record by far. WOW!

Week 10 - Fitz is a Boss. Well, Matty may have been a little too safe at the Players - Fitzpatrick was locked in a duel with David Lipsky in the final hour at the Valspar Championship and this time delivered the goods, a birdie putt from just inside 15 feet on the final hole for a 3-under 68 and a one-shot victory.
Many of us own Fitz, but Bash Boss owned 3 players that tied for 4th place (including Im) and won the week. Well done.

Week 11 - Oh Nicky you're so fine!
A couple years ago, brother Rasmus was getting all the talk after his great play before coming to the PGA. Now, Nicolai has been the one to show the best here in the USA. Gary Woodland actually won the tournament, and 4 teams owned him, but Dude? Where's my Major? Had the 2nd (Nic Hojgaard) and two 3rd place finishers (Lee and Keefer) to steal the week! Sneaky.

Week 12 - JJ Spurned
JJ Spaun won the Valero, but nobody owned him. This let JP win his first of 2 in a 3 weeks. It was Michael Kim that did the heavy lifting with a 2nd place finish.

Week 13 - The Masters
Turns out you don't need to be a Master prognosticator to win $400. JJ had Rory and a group of players owned by a bunch of us to snag the big money. Turns out Hao-Tong Li was the differnece maker. Some guys have all the luck!

Week 14 - Fitz Magic
Matt Fitzpatrick evidently wasn't done after one victory on tour. He looked shaky for a bit, but outlasted the world number one Scottie Scheffler in a playoff to win the 2026 RBC Heritage. This is the second time Fitzpatrick has won the plaid jacket after taking down Harbour Town back in 2023. This time Si Woo and Morikawa helped JP win the money.

Week 15 - It takes 2 to make a thing go right
Matt Fitzpatrick continued his awesome year by helping his bro get in on the PGA Tour action. Matty was good - but Alex was making shots of his own too. It really was impressive to watch. Again, many owners had Fitz. Not as many had rookie phenom Kris Reitan who finished 3rd. Boom Boom 420 had he and Horschel to earn the weekly win.

Week 16 - Young Gun
Cameron Young proved to be in a class on his own, racing out to a five shot lead by the 36-hole mark on the strength of an opening round 64. Scheffler, Si Woo, and Reitan, all sat 6 strokes behind on Sunday - It was extra impressive given the margin. Another in a class of his own is Andrew Krupke, with his 2nd weekly win of the year and many more in years past.
Si Woo, Noren and Potgieter helped separate him from the pack.

Week 17 - It's all in the numbers
Tyson's Numbermunchers2 team hasn't had the best luck this year. Fleetwood, Hall, Burns and Zalatoris have been disappointing at best. But, it doesn't matter when the stars align and now he has a weekly win under his belt. Kris Reitan won the tourney and the others mentioned (except Zalatoris) did well enough to get a payday. Congrats!

Ok - still a couple weeks behind, but we''llgetcaught up in the next couple weeks. FORE!
