• One & Done: If your league is running one & done lineups for this week they should be doing it according to the team. IE – Your team picks 1 player from any pairing and is awarded the finishing place award or FedEx Cup points awarded to where the team finishes. The game theory here is pretty simple; take a weaker player playing with a stronger player. It doesn’t make sense to burn guys like  Day, Rose, Stenson, or Brooks in this unknown event, so look at their playing partners (obviously that doesn’t work for Rose/Stenson, but you get where I’m going with this).
