Fantasy Golf: Memorial Tournament Preview

It's 11:00 on a Tuesday night. My family is not here. I am alone in my kitchen. Struggling to find an opening topic. I got it! Here's a funny story from last night involving one of my kids (hold on . . . I'm being told that I can't tell that story).

Well that was really all I had going so let's just scrap the damn opening and move on. Oh wait, first I feel compelled to mention that Sirius recently decided to change the name of The Spectrum channel to Coldplay Radio which would be like McDonald's changing the name of the Quarter Pounder to Dogshit on a Bun. In case you were wondering where I stand on Coldplay. 

And now, this . . . 

TWEET OF THE WEEK

We fucking need the kid on the right to take over 2020 and fix everything. 
GOLF ANALYSIS

Last week I gave you Collin Morikawa, Patrick Cantlay and Kevin Streelman. On the other hand, I also gave you Justin Rose, Joel Dahmen and J.B. Holmes. We should be able to build on that. Operative word being "should."

I'm sticking with a few of last week's picks in Cantlay, Streelman and Hideki Matsuyama while abandoning Justin Rose who is now dead to me (which means he's going to win). It's starting to feel like you should wager on the all sophomore team of Morikawa, Viktor Hovland and Matthew Wolff every week because at least one of them is always there. Hovland is currently the most due and he crushed it at Muirfield last week. 

Brendon Todd is a sleep strong sleeper when you look at how he played here back when he was good like he is again now. Also, don't dare me to take Patrick Rodgers two weeks in a row on the same course because I will fucking do it. I really will. Sorry for the abbreviated preview. My excuse is below. 
I don't think a picture has ever more
accurately captured my mood.
