I think I just joined this, but too late for this week.

That is quite the off season for the DP Tour. Rooting for a couple of young players I got to know in 2019 during the Northeast Amateur, Matias Sanchez and Lachlan Barker. Matias stayed with me for a week and Lachlan would pal around with him on and off the course that week. Longshots to make the cut probably. O/U on how many times I forget to put my picks in this year is set at 3.5. Matias with a nice -5 after being +2 after 6. Lachlan +1. |

One thing’s for sure - I won’t be beating Hooper this week👯♂️ I've learned how to cyber hack your picks before the deadline. Sanchez -6 after R2. Hope he gets some tv time during the final round. |

Matias Sanchez, who plays out of Royal Melbourne and ought to know his way around here.
It’s been a wild ride but as @davidmicheluzzi, @bwindred & Matias Sanchez begin their pro careers at the #WAPGA today, we wave goodbye to their days as amateurs! 👏🤩
Congrats to all three of your - and good luck going forward! 🇦🇺💪🏆 pic.twitter.com/Ov8N7cPn1Q

Sanchez was a highly-touted prospect who actually beat Lee in the final of the Australian Amateur in 2017, that coming here in Melbourne which has been his base for many years now.
And while he is still seeking his first professional win at tour level, form figures of 9-4-58-15 since the new PGA of Australia season began suggest he's close enough to landing it, with last week's performance his most notable yet in strong company.
Sanchez has been a regular on leaderboards lately, sitting inside the top 10 at halfway in each of his last five starts, and only under really difficult conditions during the weekend of the NSW Open did he falter. Back closer to home, he's one I could see sticking around close to the top 10.

Thanks for posting that 5wide. Good kid and great memories I'll always have from that week. His mom made us a killer paella for dinner one night that week, a recipe from her homeland of Chile. Also had a kid from Alabama stay with us that week, the different accents when we were together was hilarious.
