Not many players. But FGL managers got some performance. Doug had just one guy in the tournament - and he won it! Tony Finau shot a final round 63 to jump up to 2nd place for the Doctor. Now we’re off to North Carolina.
Opening round at SnowHills near Wilmington
It was so cold at the start. And yet, I guess with bionic knees, you can wear shorts.

Making a statement with a little ink
So many FGL managers take their jets to Augusta
Laustin plows into the lead
Scottie Scheffler’s win and top 10 finishes from Morikawa and Jimmy Connors brought in 34 points for the South Lebanon team. Into first place with a nice lead as we move to Hilton Head next week.
Doug, Al, Jim and Paul had all their guys make the cut. That certainly helps. Al led the way with 20 points. Your Commissioner picked up 18 points with Rory’s surprising 2nd place finish and The Mullet’s 3rd place finish.
The Master’s is normally when Big J takes charge. But Spieth missed the cut and Oosty just quit. Sorry J.
Dave picked up one point in our first tournament - the Honda Classic. Since then, he has not scored any additional points. That is one tough strategy!
2nd to 7th place all bunched up pretty tight.
Kevin strikes in time for the Masters
Olde English is gone. His hip surgery on Valetine’s Day and inability to play seems to have bothered Manager Kevin. No more English on his team. Quickly stepping in will be Abraham Lincoln Ancer.
The Doctor makes a move!
No more Grace on his team. Sorry Branden. You’ve been fired. Stepping in for the Master’s is Sepp Staka.

Happy Birthday to the "L" in Laustin!
No Lefty; Tiger teases
Phil will continue his sabbatical from golf; missing the Masters. FGL Insider has heard rumors that Augusta actually encouraged Phil to not attend this year’s Master’s - even thought he’s a 3 time champ there.
Tiger played a practice round at Augusta and has not technically declined his invitation to play in the tournament. But I predict he waits until next year.
Kevin - just learned some news on your $4.00+ boy of Harris English. He’s out of the Masters. Why? - you may ask. Well - I’m glad you asked. He had hip surgery on Valentine’s Day and no timeline yet for his return to the tournament.
Chair dancing ................ long ago
George Burns helps move Monica into first place. Really!
What a performance. And now we have Monica at the top of your FGL leaderboard. You don’t see that every day!
Not sure where I came up with last week’s list of expected players. I wasn’t even close. I had one guy, Aaron Wise, decided to play without telling me. Did well enough until his last hole Friday which he bogeyed and missed the cut by just that one stroke. I know - we’ve all been there.
Davey - you’re still going in the wrong direction!
FGL is going to take a week off so all managers can reflect on their teams. We’ll be back in two weeks in Texas before heading over to Augusta.
