Sussex - Jason Day is not playing! He was only listed in the Top 10 rankings.

From the Official World Rankings website (2014 Week 35) http://www.owgr.com/ranking your choice of players will be restricted by the following criteria:

Of your team of 7, at least 3 of your players must be ranked outside the Top 10.
Of the allowed 4 players ranked inside the Top 10, no more than 2 can be from the Top 5.

Rankings

01. Rory McIlroy
02. Adam Scott
03. Henrik Stenson
04. Sergio Garcia
05. Justin Rose
06. Jason Day
07. Jim Furyk
08. Matt Kuchar
09. Bubba Watson
10. Phil Mickelson

You can choose a replacement if you like. If not I will allocate the highest ranked player allowed (Watson) instead

Four wins and a tie in the singles means Aidan is the winner with hftb finishing at the foot of affairs

Thanks to everyone for playing, Ryder Cup FL will return in 2016, with the next Golf FL being the Masters next April

[ianp1970]

Just a suggestion as picking pairings is going to be as important as anything ....

Maybe we can do the final as an average points available per match? The current scoring system means that a player can lose four partnership matches on the day 1-2 and end with a draw, so finishing 0-4-1 and get the same points against another person who draws against him in his only single match.

To me it's pretty much a lottery to second guess who gets picked

I recalculated the scores using this method, and there wasn't much difference: 4 players were in identical positions, 3 moved by one place and 3 moved by two places.

Wow I know nothing about golf so this is a shock. I've gone two years without winning a FL and three come along at once.

Well done Aidan, and thanks Ian
