Fantasy Golf stats round-up: Week 30

Russell Knox took home maximum points thanks to his win in China

Russell Knox took 405 points in Fantasy Golf thanks to his win at the WGC-HSBC Champions in China.

Let's start the Fantasy Golf stats round-up by giving you the bonus code for this week, allowing you one extra transfer: Kev1nNa - valid until 23:59 on Wednesday

 

If you had Russell Knox in your Fantasy team over the likes of Justin Rose, Andy Sullivan and Danny Willett, congratulations (although we might not believe you) !

There was nothing to suggest that the Scot would be a strong best for the title at the WGC-HSBC Champions in China.

However, he came out on top in impressive fashion, finishing two shots clear of Kevin Kisner.

Danny Willett and Ross Fisher were T3, with Rory McIlroy six shots back in joint eleventh place. Matt Fitzpatrick continued his impressive form by finishing T7, with Haotong Li proving to be one of the surprise packages of the weekend as he finished T7 with Fitzpatrick, Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed.

 

Who's hot and who's not?

Emiliano Grillo, Adam Scott and Henrik Stenson were all popular transfers. The highest finisher of the three was Stenson, who ended up T11.

Peter Uihlein, Fabrizio Zanotti and Marcus Fraser were among the least popular players.

Overall

Boddington stays at the top of the leaderboard with 39,850 points, with Popcorn the nearest challenger.
