Had David Duval (ranked 882) won the US Open where would it of ranked alongside in the world’s greatest comebacks? Ali v Forman, Liverpool v AC Milan, Man Utd v Munich?
For someone who had completely lost his game it would have been an extraordinary story and when he rolled in that birdie on 16 it was on – amazing stuff.
Of course Duval came up just short as Lucas Glover manfully held it together over the closing holes for an unlikely win.
The Spring Leagues have now concluded and we enter a two week layoff.
Your scores are available to view online until 1st July when they will be reset to zero.
Your existing team will be re-entered into the summer/autumn leagues but you now have unlimited player transfers. A handful of on-form golf professionals not currently in Fantasy Golf will be available to select from Friday.
The summer/autumn leagues begin on 2 July at the French Open and AT&T National. You can make unlimited players transfers until 5pm on 1 July. Alternatively you can hit the “Reset your Team” button on your team page to start from scratch – this will allow you to select a captain other than Tiger (a dubious strategy as once again Tiger is the top scoring professional).
In the end, The Scotsman Fantasy Golf Spring Leagues were pretty tight but Ross Burnside of Pumpherston clung onto claim overall 1st position. Ross can therefore begin planning his trip for four to the delightful Algarve resort of Sheraton Pine Cliffs.
Stuart Sharp of Portpatrick Golf Club claims overall 2nd position and a weekend for four at Gleneagles.
This week’s top scorer is Alec McSorley of Fort William Golf Club. He can also collect a superb prize. He will be showing his skills with stick and ball to a top European Tour professional when he tees up in Highland Spring’s pro-am team at The Johnnie Walker Championship.
The shortened June monthly league prize of at FT9 Callaway driver goes to Vinnie Wyllie to Gleneagles.
The Club League prize of an outing for twelve members to Gleneagles goes to Lothian’s outfit Lochend. They snuck home ahead of Bridge of Allan and MCBA.
Well done to all winners and or course a big thanks to our sponsors who spoil you with such superb prizes.
Thanks for playing and please round up a few more pals and join the fun when the game resumes in July.
