Fantasy Golf Round up: Dustin Johnson Wins Third WGC

What a week it was for Dustin Johnson.

Not only did he win his third WGC title at the Bridgestone Invitational and move up to second in the Official World Golf Rankings, he also picked up 405 fantasy points.

He won the title by a stroke from Scott Piercy, whom he also pipped to the US Open title two weeks ago.

At Le Golf National in the 100th Open de France, Thongchai Jaidee also collected 405 fantasy points as he claimed his eighth European Tour title with a stunning four stroke victory over Francesco Molinari.

The Thai eased home with a score of 11-under-par against a world class field. Molinari finished in second at 7-under-par and picked up 345 fantasy golf points for his efforts.

Each week the GM Tipster posts his betting tips and last week he backed Thongchai Jaidee at 50/1.
