T18 | T57 | CUT |
He is too good for this course and the way he is playing should tear it apart.

CUT | 4 | T16 | T53 | T7 | T8 | T5 | T73 | T17 | T50 |
He is improving week after week, he has good vibes on this course and it would be a nice bookend to see the person that won the first Dell Technologies Championship win the last one.
Best of the rest:

Another of those guys that have had a great summer and plays well at TPC Boston.
Hi Sal,
What do you think about this Burgoon guy?
Thanks,
James
Half the PGA Tour consist of these I call them “Trolls” that are good players but a step away from really being good. Look at his record, he has played 23 times and made just 11 cuts. Of the 11 times he made the cut he had 2 good weeks, John Deere (finished T-2nd) and Quicken Loans (Finished T-6th) and with that earned enough to get into the FedExCup playoffs. With his T-11th at Northern Trust his timing couldn’t of been better because it gives him a shot if he just makes the cut to play next week at the BMW.
What a wonderful life on the PGA Tour.
Other than that what can I say, he is not the type of player that I can recommend on a weekly basis for a fantasy golf pick. There are about 50 Bronson Burgoon types scattered in the world of professional golf who will make a deceit living for five, six years and then parlay his money into a great investment and be well off for the rest of their lives. Remember this magical number, 150. When a player makes 150 cuts on the PGA Tour he is automatically enrolled in the greatest annuity in life, the PGA Tour pension plan in which no matter what you do will make you very, very wealthy. Ever heard of players like Dave Eichelberger or Howard Twitty or Blaine McCallister or Neal Lancaster or Mike Donald. They are the original “Trolls” of the PGA Tour that you will never hear from but today are very, very wealthy.
Again this is the wonderful side of the PGA Tour, players that have done very well that you would never think of just like Bronson Burgoon. But for a fantasy pick I say no way.
Sal,
If we take some of the top guys, salary wise we may have to take a troll or two. Do you put Cook and List into the same bucket as Burgoon ?
Cook has won and has proven to be above the “Troll” stage.
Luke List is also above being a “Troll”, has had a fabulous season with six top-tens, coming close to winning at Honda (losing playoff to Justin Thomas) and winning over $3 million this year.
A “Troll” is someone that never seems to win but hangs in there. The biggest troll was Bobbly Wadkins who in the 70s, 80s & 90s played over 700 events without a win.
