2015 Masters Tournament

Here we go - the the first major of the new golf season.  James is busy being busy at his new GolfNow job, so I'm here to help out.


The 2015 Masters Tournament will be the 79th edition of the Masters Tournament and the first of golf's four major championships to be held in 2015. It will be held from April 9–12 at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia.

If you haven't already, I strongly recommend that you check out www.masters.com. Talk about an event and its organizers that take full advantage of every media platform available. The coverage, IMO, is unmatched. I'm sure it will be must see TV on Sunday.

Obligatory picture of last years winner, Jack Swagger aka Bubba Watson:



And here's a snippet of the final leaderboard:

Now onto the fantasy side of things.  Our last event, the 96th PGA Championship, was won by yours truly and here's the final leaderboard:

Bill: -28
Cbell: -19
Beck: -16
Adam: -12
Jeremy: -11
Paul: -10
Dan: -7
Sean: +4
James: +5
Abe: +25

Too easy :)


Rules:

The final score of all the players on each team will be added up and the lowest cumulative score wins. Each team will have 4 golfers.

+5 will be added to any players score who misses the cut

-10 will be deducted from the score of the team who picks the Champion

If there is a WD, that player will be given a score of the worst round from that day. And then a one time penalty of +5 (the same penalty a player who misses the cut would get.)

The draft order will be the reverse final standings of the previous major
