Fantasy Golf stats round-up: Week 15
Jason Day and Danny Willett won on the PGA Tour and PGA Tour respectively
Two players who finished high up the Open leaderboard won on Tour at the weekend.
What's the best way to make up for missing out on your first major by two shots?
You might say winning the next one and Jason Day may well do that. For now, however, he can console himself with the RBC Canadian Open.
The Australian backed up his favourites label heading into his first tournament post-Open and edged out Bubba Watson on the last hole.
Danny Willett won his second European Tour title of the season in Switzerland by a shot from Matt Fitzpatrick.
The Yorkshireman is having an excellent season and earned some of you 405 points in Fantasy Golf this week.
