"Failure is Not a Destination"
Coach K on the Dan Patrick Show, December 22, 2016
This has been a heartbreaking process for Team CDu. A lot of regulars (Morikawa, Thomas, Woods (obviously), Koepka, Wolff) didn't make the squad this year. Thomas was especially hard not to pick. Actually, after much hemming and hawing, I'm going to drop another semi-regular (Cantlay) bring JT back to the squad. I just couldn't leave him out.
Team CDu, v2.0:
D. Johnson (11)
J. Thomas (9)
McIlroy (5)
C. Smith (3)
Spieth (2)
Same winning score of -14.
My entry..
Dustin Johnson (11)
Tony Finau (5)
Patrick Cantlay (5)
Rory McIlroy (5)
Jordon Speith (2)
Sergio Garcia (2)

Team rsv, departing from my usual stellar choices...
Rahm (8)
Schaufele (6)
Cantlay (5)
Fitzpatrick (4)
Wolff (3)
Garcia (2)
Harman (2)
Going for a team with a greeter number of players, players that are good values, and maybe haven't been picked for everybody else's team rather than going with my gut and instincts.
Time will tell whether this strategy was smarter or stupider than my usual method.
Tie breaker... 14 under

Team Catonious Rex:

JT: 9
Koepka: 5
Rory: 5
I’ve watched very little golf since this pandemic hit, so don’t know how everyone is playing right now. So I picked two guys I root for (JT and Rory) and two guys I like to see go head to head (DJ and Koepka). Also going all in on a top heavy draft.
Also, also I’m still vibing off DJs march across Augusta last fall.
