The Weekend Warrior Team of the Week: Under Taker 6.

The Under Takers were led by the Mexican Championship winner Dustin Johnson with a 375 point week. Bradley also chipped in 180 points in the effort to win the steel caged death match. Skirt Steaker 1 had 590 points led by second place finisher Irishman McIIroy with 265 points and his real life bud, Tiger Woods and his 165 points. Third place belonged to Na-na-Noonan's with 465 points. Thomas had 195 points and Scott posted a 185.
The Tiger Woods squad had a good week of play as Cameron Smith carded a 180 and Matsuyama 95. Consistent play expected from this squad going forward for the rest of the season.

Recap of Last Week's Starts or Sits at the Mexico Championship

Starts- Did Justin Thomas repeat the prior week's effort, a big no withh a -9 for 9th place. However Dustin Johnson did not disappoint us with a big win shooting a -21!

But, other than Rory McIIroy, who finished in second place with a -16. The other three selections were terrible: Jon Rahm shot a +1 for the week, Rickie Fowler an E for 36th place and Marc Leishman, still playing with a +9 good for 67th place...oie vie...
Long Shot: Gary Woodland, did better than the last three start selections with a -6 for 17th place.
Week 6 Average: 36 Strokes (6.0) for a 27th place finish, 3 top 10 finishes and 6 of 6 Make Cut
Sits: Patrick Reed and Tony Finau, also did a lot better than the start picks. Reed had a -7 good for 7th place and Finau a -4 (25th).
Week 6 Average: 11 Strokes (5.5) for a 20th place finish, and 2 of 2 Make Cut.
Totals for the Season:
Start Average: -365 (10.8) 34 Golfers, (18h Place), 34 for 34 Make Cut, 1 (0.16)Win and 19 (3.3) Top Ten Finishes.
Sit Average: -109(9.1) 12 Golfers, (18th Place) and 12 of 13 Make Cut, 1 (0.20) Win and 3 Top (0.5) Ten Finishes.

Week 7 Starts or Sits at the Honda Classic.
Starts- To be the champion you must beat that person. And that golfer again in this preview, Justin Thomas, won last year. Okay, maybe a pick for Rickie Fowler, the 2017 winner. Spain's Sergio Garcia a play under the wire.
The gang of three that are left to pick were a mess last week for this space. Cameron Smith, Alex Noren who finished one stroke from a playoff last year in this event and Gary Woodland can't be any worse to select this week.
Long Shot- Billy Horschel, a former bankable top ten player.
Sits: Brooks Koepka has trouble at this course, and Adam Scott, where both players need to sit on the bench.

Good Luck,
Colin, 'The Irish Highwayman'
