The Big 4's big showdown for BIG money at the Tour Championship

I thought taking Jim Furyk was a pretty safe bet last week at the BMW Championship. He had previously shot 59 at Conway Farms, and well, he's Jim Furyk. He might be the safest bet on the PGA Tour. Then the 45-year-old withdrew with a wrist injury after six holes, his first WD in TWO DECADES. Does my jinxing know no bounds?! Anyway, I'm back and hoping to make up for that at the season finale, where we've got the Big 4 playing for BIG money and potentially helping you settle your slightly-less-big fantasy league. How do I see things shaking out at the Tour Championship in Atlanta? Here's my weekly PGA Tour Fantasy Golf lineup:

Jason Day: We're not going to waste your time explaining why.

Jordan Spieth: After two missed cuts, Spieth looked a lot better in Chicago, making a hole-in-one and sending beer and Giordano's deep-dish pizza to the press and volunteers. Perhaps, he should be buttering up his colleagues instead, though, before they vote on the PGA Tour Player of the Year Award. Of course, that won't be necessary if Spieth, who finished T-2 in his first trip to East Lake in 2013, finishes off the season with a fifth victory and a FedEx Cup title.

Dustin Johnson: DJ finished solo fifth in his last trip to East Lake in 2013, and he looks close to breaking through for another win after that Friday 62 at Conway Farms. Imagine if he does? How high of a number can we put after "The Big"?

The Grind: "Gimmegate," golf cakes, and Jason Day's dominance

Bill Haas: With the pressure of making the Presidents Cup and into the Tour Championship behind him (nice 66 on Sunday at Conway Farms), Haas can let loose a little at East Lake. And yes, it's a place where he has pretty good memories. . .

Bench: Rickie Fowler and Rory McIlroy. Not a bad bench. . .

And for those of you playing other fantasy golf formats:

Yahoo! lineup: Bill Haas, Jason Day, Jordan Spieth, and Patrick Reed.

Bench/backups: Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson, Rickie Fowler, and Robert Streb.

Knockout/One-and-done pick: Jordan Spieth. Not sure how we haven't taken him yet this year (whoops!), but maybe that, um, strategy will pay off in the end.

Previously used: Keegan Bradley (Bay Hill), Paul Casey (Honda), Jason Day (Farmers -- WINNER!), Luke Donald (Valspar), Jamie Donaldson (Doral), Jim Furyk (Valero), Sergio Garcia (Players), Bill Haas (Riviera), Billy Horschel (Memphis), Charles Howell III (Sony), Dustin Johnson (Pebble), Zach Johnson (Colonial), Brooks Koepka (Barclays); Matt Kuchar (Heritage), Marc Leishman (Nelson), Hunter Mahan (Canadian), Rory McIlroy (Deutsche Bank), Phil Mickelson (U.S. Open), Geoff Ogilvy (Hyundai), Louis Oosthuizen (Houston), Ryan Palmer (Humana), Justin Rose (PGA), Webb Simpson (Greenbrier), Brandt Snedeker (Travelers), Brendan Steele (Phoenix), Henrik Stenson (British Open); Steve Stricker (John Deere), Justin Thomas (Wyndham), Jimmy Walker (Masters), Bubba Watson (BMW).

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking t...

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin M...
