Bit better today. Although as things stand, I would be 4th.
The team in 13th position (1.1 million down) has Sullivan, and the team in 40th (1.7 million down) has him as star and so is the virtual leader at the moment (I've looked at only the top 60 teams). Those two need a Sullivan win to overtake me, unlikely that anything less will do. The team in 4th place (580k down) has Grillo in place of Lowry, otherwise identical to my team. Needs Grillo in a 2-way tie for 2nd or better to overtake me. On the plus side, McIlroy still going reasonably well along with a few others, and I seem to have the better of the 2nd and 3rd placed teams for now. Fenway - As things stand, Moe Norman Fan Club would be 29th (out of the top 60 teams). With Rose as star pick, things could still work out for you. |

Thanks for that information El Bandido. I am not monitoring it nearly as much as you are. I am a fan of Andy Sullivan as a couple of lads I know in Notts used to play against him in county golf, and say he is a top bloke. Shame I didn't have faith in him!!!
Lots can change in the next couple of days, especially with Rory in contention. Still pulling for you. |

After 47 events and 54 holes in Dubai, it's still wide open!
As it stands, I would finish 2nd, and the team in 40th place with Sullivan as star would win by 150k. When you're 1.7 million behind with 1 to go, you have to take a risk, and what a pick that could turn out to be! Now, I could still win even if Sullivan wins, but I've got a better chance if McIlroy wins. Either way, Fitzpatrick is the main danger to me at the moment, I don't want him moving any higher up the leaderboard. So many permutations in fact, that my spreadsheet has crashed! But basically I'm looking for a solid Sunday performance Wiesberger in particular, and also from Willett and Dubuisson. Fenway, I'm sure you don't need me or my spreadsheet to tell you after that 78 from Rose. Better luck next year! |

good luck for tomorrow.
all I managed was a weekly win last year but got a great buzz from that so cant imagine how you must be feeling I really hope you do it |

Cheers donny and sewter!
I won't make it now if Sullivan wins, because Wiesberger and Dubuisson haven't done enough. So I need McIlroy, and if he wins it looks like should be enough. |

Wow it's official! (spreadsheet wasn't quite right, but I've won so who cares) Okay, speech lol What an amazing finish to the 2015 Fantasy Race to Dubai! I needed McIlroy to win and what drama at the 17th when he went in the water, but then holed a 20 footer for bogey! I could barely watch, but I'm delighted to be the winner. Congratulations to all the other prize winners, it was an incredibly close race. I first took the lead in May after the WGC Match Play, but it only lasted a week. I dropped back to 90th or so after the US Open. Bernd Wiesberger as star pick for the Open de France, and then Shane Lowry in the WGC Bridgestone Invitational got me back into the lead. Somehow I always felt it was going to be my year after that. Still, I was only 8th coming into the Final Series. Victor Dubuisson in the Turkish Airlines Open got me back into the lead once more, and somehow I just held on. I'm expecting to become a dad in 2016. My wife and I are expecting a baby girl in April. Maybe she brought me luck already! Hopefully she arrives safe and well, and on time, so that I can make it to Wentworth. Big thanks to furrelli for starting this thread, and thanks to everyone for all the support - scarlet, BIG CAT, donny, sewter. And of course Fenway, great effort but unlucky in the end. Hope you have another shot at it next year. I look forward to doing battle with you all again in the 2016 Fantasy Race to Dubai. |

El Bandido, well done indeed. I am delighted to see that you held off the opposition. Have a great time at Wentworth, and enjoy the Emirates Airlines Business Class flight from your home town to Heathrow :)
I thoroughly enjoyed the competition, and have the consolation (albeit only rewarded with bragging rights) of winning the Golf Monthly Forum League. Thanks to furrelli for starting the thread, and like our Champion I will see you all again next year. |

By:
very well done. Brilliant. 1st class flights from Manila would have been better though LOL. Congratulations.
|
|
By:
Cheers! Yeah I was thinking the same, Heathrow probably my closest airport that they fly from. Hopefully they'll be a bit flexible. Even Wentworth in May might be a bit awkward for me so soon after having a baby.

By:

Maybe only top 1000 get emails!!

Maybe you need to check the subscriptions in your My European Tour profile, and also your email to make sure it's not sending to your junk folder. The reminders are useful during the season, because forgetting to change your team even once would be very costly. Fortunately I remembered every time, although I could hardly forget about it towards the end!
