Fantasy Golf League IV - Gameweek 8 - The Saab Wales Open

(Previously named the Celtic Manor Wales Open)





Entry Field on European PGA website: Link

Event information: Link

Deadline for picks: Midnight on Wednesday, June 1st

Top 3 Favourites with the bookies:
1st. Graeme McDowell
2nd Miguel Angel Jimenez
3rd Chris Wood

Granto's predictions: After correctly predicting last weeks winner (Luke Donald), here’s some more top notch punditry

The Defender: Graeme McDowell
2010 was very much a breakthrough year for G-Mac; 3 wins including the US Open and he was the hero of Europe’s Ryder Cup team. Hasn’t yet recaptured last years form but is bound to benefit from the feel-good factor of playing Celtic Manor again. Prediction: Top 10 finish

The Contenders:
Miguel Angel Jiminez: Another Ryder Cup hero who’ll be looking forward to hitting this links again.
Simon Dyson: Two top 5 finishes in his last 2 starts so could be contending this week as well.
Anders Hanson: 2nd at the Open De Espana a few weeks ago and playing pretty well right now.

Dark horse:
Colin Montgomerie (): Finished tied for 7th at the BMW PGA Championship - his first top 10 in 3 years. Surely Captain Monty will be all smiles at the home of his most famous of non-playing victories.
Prediction: Top 10 finish or better

Winner: Jamie Donaldson
Sticking my neck out here and predicting victory for a homegrown lad.
Yet to register his maiden victory, I have a sneaky feeling the home support will change that here.

Thanks for doing the form Grant. If you need a hand some day let me know ...

It was a toss up between Sandy Lyle and Monty for the fifth spot with Monty getting the nod!

Time for the Hazards to find a few fairways.

You want to do next gameweeks form then?

US Open June 17

Could be the only way to catch these leaders.

Jamie Donaldson 3 under after 4 holes.

You are a prophet Grant!

Shame I didn't pick the guy though ...

Now 4 under after 5 holes ...

Picked him but made someone else captain.

Wow, that's one impressive flame-out by McDowell. 11 over by the 14th.
