Justin Lower registered the most points in his PGA Tour player-caddie fantasy league. In the fifth week of the NFL league, the American golfer got lucky with team selection, taking down his caddie in the fantasy league.

After the first round of the 2023 Shriners Children's Open, Lower opened up about his fake football team in a press conference.

When a journalist asked him about his MVP in the league, Lower said:

"They are really three of them. I would like to start with myself as an MVP as well. But Justin Fields, Travis Etienne and D.J. Moore were my leading scorers. And my caddie Chad Gonzales stood zero chance of winning. I am pretty sure I had a lot after Thursday night's game."

Following the first round of the 2023 Shriner Children's Open, Justin Lower settled in a tie for 76th position. He finished with a score of one over par 72.

Lower could only be able to make one birdie on Thursday along with two bogeys to score 72. The PGA Tour event got underway on Thursday, October 12. It will run through the weekend to have its finale on Sunday, October 15, at TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas.

Beau Hossler took the lead after the first round. He played a round of 62 to have a one-stroke lead over J.T Poston and Cameron Champ.
