Fantasy Golf Round Up: Czech Masters and Wyndham

Last week was one for first-timers, with Paul Peterson winning in Prague and Si Woo Kim sealing the Wyndham Championship.

Peterson beat favourite Thomas Pieters by one after holing a 20-footer on the 72nd hole for his first European Tour victory.

Pieters needed to win and results to go his way to qualify for the European Ryder Cup team and was highly fancied after an excellent Olympic Games.

Matt Fitzpatrick shot a closing 69 to finish 5th and take the final automatic spot on Darren Clarke's team.

In North Carolina, Si Woo Kim won by five from Luke Donald for his first PGA Tour win.

The South Korean now moves up to 15th in the FedEx Cup which should see him through to the East Lake finale.

Each week the GM Tipster posts his betting tips. Last week he had his 13th winner of the season thanks to Ryan Moore and now stands at over 750 points up for the season.
