Augusta, GA – Day one of the 2011 Tennessee Masters Fantasy Pick 'Em is now in the books, and towering over the rest of the field is 6’3” Luke Ferguson. The Jackson, TN native stormed out of the gates posting a score of 13-under par, despite a less than perfect day from Padraig Harrington. The Irishman shot an opening round 77, but Ferguson was able to stay atop the leaderboard thanks to stellar play from Rory McIlroy, K.J. Choi, and Brandt Snedeker. Ferguson’s strategy going forward is to do anything possible “to get Padraig DQ’d.”Ferguson has a three stroke lead over fellow Jackson native, R.E. Butts, whose “posse is riding a wet back (Alvaro Quiros)” to a solid 10-under par score.
Rounding out the top five are Brandon Rowland (-6), Chris Fowler (-6) and Mo Littleford (-5).
While these players put themselves in prime position to win, one person who did not is Andrew Shaub. Shaub is 20 back of the lead at seven over and quite frankly things can’t get much worse. Everyone in Brownsville will be watching as Shaub will try to make a monumental comeback to the top of the leaderboard. “I’m just positioning myself for Sunday,” he said. “I’ll storm back like Nicklaus in ’86.”
