Fantasy Golf stats round-up: Week 17

Maximum points went to Shane Lowry thanks to his WGC Bridgestone Invitational win.

Shane Lowry is no longer just the guy with a great short game. He's the guy with the WGC Bridgestone Invitational to his name.

Fantasy Golf users who selected the Irishman will be delighted that he has added a significant tournament to his Irish Open and Portgular Masters wins.

Lowry took 405 points this week, with Bubba Watson taking the next largest offering available, leaving those who selected him over Jordan Spieth vindicated.

David Lingmerth continues to impress and claimed 255 points along with fellow Swede Henrik Stenson.

Spieth and Rickie Fowler could only take 175 points each after finishing T10.
