Thru games of April 8th:
Bronze: 3-2-2-3 --- 51/650
Silver: 10-6 --- 18/90
Reporting from Garden City Beach this morning. It's spring break for the grandkids and this is the first time in the last five years that we have been able to get away for more than a couple of days, so we rented a big house on the beach for the upcoming week for the six of us. Think my daughter-in-law's parents who live in Oak Ridge my come down for a few days as well. The place sleeps 12, so there is plenty of room.
Kind of held my own yesterday for the first time in the last few days, but it's not ideal when you have Kershaw & Bumgarner going against Colorado & Arizona and neither of them gets a win. Need good games from Syndegaard & McCullers today. They are both huge favorites (-185 & -210), so anything less than 2 wins and at least 15 strikeouts would be disappointing.
My CDM golf team has worked its way up to 5th place in the league with 4 tournaments left after the Masters, so I will be closely following today's finish in Augusta. The best finish for me would be Justin Rose winning the tournament (assuming that Lee Westwood & Thomas Pieters are too far behind to win...but they could help me by moving higher in the top 10 with good rounds today) and Sergio Garcia & Charley Hoffman falling back. Hate to pull against Sergio because I actually like him....but the fantasy team comes first! LOL. It would help me a little if Spieth or Fowler won because there are a couple of guys in the top six who don't have one or the other of them.....but not nearly as much as if Justin Rose won. And the further that Garcia & Hoffman fall back, the better it is for my team. Westwood had a very nice 68 yesterday to get back into the top 10, but Pieters offset that with a 75 to fall from a tie for the lead down to 9th. The CDM contest is based on money won, though, and the Masters has the largest payout of the 16 tournaments in the contest, so every position in the top 10 is important. It doesn't matter what Adam Scott, Ryan Moore or Charl Schwartzel do because nobody in the top 10 in the league has either one of them.
