Fantasy Golf: The ZOZO Championship Preview

The boys in red, white and blue weren't the only ones who took a shellacking at the Ryder Cup as the FGR produced some of the wrongest predictions this side of Wrongtown. We coped by taking a few weeks off from prognosticating and going on a three day bender in Hilton Head, S.C. which included a front nine at Harbortown that was an homage to the Scottie Scheffler/Brooks Koepka alternate shot fiasco. Now we're back and ready to reestablish our winning ways. Or something.   

TWEET OF THE WEEK

I was riding high with Joel on this one . . . until Max went full Loudon Swain on him. 

GOLF ANALYSIS

I'm a sucker for a guy with a chip on his shoulder and Keegan Bradley should be carrying one as big as a toaster after being snubbed from the Ryder Cup team and then watching the listless Americans get obliterated. He's also the defending champ here so there's that.

Not a lot of science behind the other picks from whom I'm actually getting good vibes. Something about having five guys with repeating letters in their names feels a bit magical. Yes, this is what passes for "analysis" in October. 

One and Done Pick: Keegan Bradley

I mean it's not quite waving your
hat at the crowd like a bitch but
we probably could've used at
least some of this passion.

Other Guy I'd Pick: Sahith Theegala

Sleeper Pick: Hayden Buckley

We've got a limited chart this week due to a limited field, a limited history and a limited writer. Fitting that it honors a man of few words who spoke them so eloquently.

You may notice that there are three American Ryder Cup team members in the field and I picked none of them. There are no coincidences .
