Well Horschel has one good month every 3 years or so, so I figured he was about due. Maybe he has been down graded to one good round every three years. :-). The last time I had Na I think was the year he had that huge score on one hole. Now that I look further it was a 16 at of all place the Valero Texas Open in 2011. It was the worst score on a par 4 since the PGA tour began recording hole by hole scores in 1983. That hole gets it's own little paragraph on Kevin Na's wikipedia page. What is wierd about that is that I was tracking Na on the leaderboard. I remember refreshing the page that day and wondering what the heck happened to him on the leaderboard. I thought maybe he withdrew or something. As it turns out he probably lost about 80 spots on the leaderboard in one hole. Imagine having the fear of god strike ya down and that one hole was that fear of god. If Na had fallen off a building instead of having that one bad hole he would still be falling to this day. Eric, you and I have some of the weirdest luck. I guess a lot of it is 'self-inflicted', since we pick our teams.... but some of the weirdest occurrences happen to your team, or mine, it seems. And here we go, trading each other heart-aches, lol. I'm not whining, just observin'. This league is still a ton o' fun.

Going off of recollection I have had crazy bad luck. In 3 of the last 4 years I have had a total of one win in that span. I had a year with zero wins, zero wins and one win (so far this year). So basically in that 3 year span I have 1 total win, UNO. On average everyone should have somewhere between 3 to 3.5 wins EACH year based on 35 events. There might be at most 2 or 3 events per year where the winner of a tourney will not be started or on anyones roster but with expanded subs that number is getting to be less and less. In the multiple years that this league has run I have a total of one tier 2 win and no tier 1 wins. All the rest have been tier 3's. I may have been the only team ever that had a major winner on my bench that I could do nothing about as we didn't have subs back then. I benched Schwartzel the year he won the Masters. I had reasons not to start him that year and experience at Augusta was one of them. I would have certainly had him in my lineup if we had subs during that season. Then I have Spieth who as reliable as he had been prior had one of the worst choke jobs ever at this years masters. That just doesn't happen to Jordan. If I remember correctly my golfers last year had at least 5 and possibly as many as 7 different wins in events that did not occur during our fantasy season. I tend to like to draft hot golfers at the beginning of the season but those golfers almost always cool when they land on my roster. Often times it's nearly impossible to predict what a golfer will end up doing. This year Spieth, Rose and Reed all have struggled for most of the year. Look at Justin Thomas. I am sure Aaron knows all about it but he has been a colossal disappointment considering his credentials and upside coming into the season. I mean who would not have wanted him. Koepka was my other horse to start the year and he did almost nothing for me. Look at Matsuyama he is one of the biggest hyped up golfers in this league (he was like Colsaerts used to be) and he has fallen off the earth recently. I can never catch a break with Keegan in all the years that I have owned him. Ryan Moore is a perfect example of a guy that wins when our fantasy league is not in season. Peter Malnati was a great example of a fairly hot golfer coming into the season and fell off the cliff. Look at Ryan. He drafted Ben Martin, Patrick Rodgers and wanted Koepka fairly badly. All three of those guys have failed and he is still leading the pack. Dustin Johnson has pulled off the kind of a year this year that is pretty much a dream season. To Ryan's credit he usually has about 3 or 4 guys that he has on his team that tend to really perform well and it's not always his top of the line guys. He has the guys on his roster during the years they perform. Patrick Reed is a great example from last year. I don't know how he does it but he always ends up with the studs. Either by having 1 or 2 guys really perform above expectations or having 3 or 4 others that all perform moderately above expectations. Maybe he has some inside info that no one else has access to.
