Myrtle Beach Classic – Weekend Outlook + League Update

As the PGA Tour’s Myrtle Beach Classic rolls into the weekend, Dunes Golf & Beach Club has already delivered its share of drama. While the field may not be loaded with top-tier names, the action has been anything but dull—and the Golf’s Greatest Gamble leaderboard is already being shaken up.

⛳ Course Recap: Dunes Delivering Surprises

The seaside layout is showing its teeth, especially with coastal winds kicking up in Round 2. Big numbers are out there, but so are birdies in bunches. Players who can keep their approaches tight and scramble around tricky greens are rising to the top.

🚫 Early Exits: Missed Cuts That Stung

A few popular league selections didn’t make it to the weekend, including:

  • Adam Schenk (70-75)

  • Chandler Phillips (70-73)

  • Davis Riley (73-69)

  • Joel Dahmen (71-74)

  • Patrick Fishburn (73-74)

Some of these were surprise exits, especially Riley and Dahmen, who’ve shown strong form in similar events this season.

Auto-Picks & Fines: Lawrence, You're In

As always, when a player fails to make a selection, the league steps in. This week, fines were handed out for missed picks, and all non-selectors were given Thriston Lawrence—the highest-ranked golfer in the field who missed the cut. That’s right: an MC and no earnings. A double whammy for:

  • Brandon 

  • Carson 

  • Dave 

  • Erik 

  • Frank 

  • Freddy 

  • Pat 

  • Rishelle 

🔥 Who’s Still in the Mix?

On the bright side, several league picks are playing the weekend and are in strong position to cash:

  • Harry Higgs (67-66) – Crowd favorite playing with swagger.

  • Mackenzie Hughes (63-69) – Solid and steady.

  • Ben Silverman (67-68) – Sneaky consistent.

  • Alex Smalley (70-67) – Gaining momentum after a slow start.

  • Tom Kim (72-68) – Starting to flash form again.

These players are very much alive heading into Moving Day.

🏆 Looking Ahead

With one round down and two to go, this Myrtle Beach Classic is shaping up to be a fun addition to the schedule—and a potentially crucial week for league standings, side action, and segment points.

Stay tuned, watch for low rounds, and as always…

Submit your picks on time. The spreadsheet never lies.
