Fantasy Golf: McGladrey Classic

Published:

The PGA Tour travels to Georgia for week three of the 2015 season and takes the opportunity to show off one of the best links courses and golf resorts America has to offer in the process.

Sea Island boasts luxury accommodation, exceptional practice facilities and three championship courses, of which all eyes will be on the fast and firm 7,005-yard par 70 Seaside layout this week.

Englishman Harry Colt’s original nine-hole track has seen updates from Joe Lee and Tom Fazio since 1929 but the feeling of a home links is retained by the creeks, dunes and marshes that make this a test of management as opposed to length.

Chris Kirk’s driving stats were modest as he finished on 14-under par to win by a shot last year. The Sea Island member was 15th for greens in regulation, 11th for strokes gained putting and fifth for scrambling.

Here’s the Team TG line-up this week…

Zach Johnson, £3.5m
First start since the Ryder Cup and the Sea Islander has never missed this event. Two top-20s previously, including last year’s t-16.

Matt Kuchar, £3.0m
Johnson’s Georgia neighbour has been 25th or better in each of his three starts here and has never shot over par. Going well in season-opening Frys.com a fortnight ago before a final round 76 saw him finish t-21.

Webb Simpson, £2.6m
Stays in our line-up after finishing t-4 at the Shriners last week. Never worse that 12th in three visits here.

Charles Howell III, £1.3m
Solid start to the season with two made cuts from two starts. Has made four from four here to finish t-27, t-7, t-32 and t-6.

Scott Brown, £0.8m
Fourth here last year and t-20 the year before. T-12 and t-10 so far in this campaign.

Jonathan Byrd, £0.8m
Solid start to the season at the Shriners last week when three rounds in the sixties saw him finish t-33. Another local who has made the cut every time in three appearances at Sea Island.
