Valspar Update
Anybody watch the paint dry open? I saw about 5 holes. Had to prep for the NCAA hoops tourney. No great picks this week but nearly everyone made the cut including Jen, Jason and myself. Thank you Matt Kuchar, chipping in on his final hole on Friday to get to the cut line. And he didn't even finish in the bottom 10! We'll go at least one more week in the streakin' challenge!

Honda Update
Didn't see much golf this weekend so not many comments other than we now know less about Tiger and Rory than we did before. If Rory shoots +3 on the day he wins. He shoots +4 and loses in a playoff of the R's. Only two decent picks -- Don Adams (Rory McIlroy) and Sean Scoopmire (Will MacKenzie).
And thank you Charl Scwartzel aka Mr. Chesthair for missing the cut. You knocked down the competition for the cuts made streak to three players. Those still in it are in bold, the only bummer about this week is there is no cut at the WGC and we're all trying to get a made cut in a secondary event in Puerto Rico...

WGC Update...
Wow. As a buddy said while watching the end of the event, "I'm pretty sure he's not actually French." I know Day won and he's a solid young player but I was pumped up to see a new face breakthrough. Victor Dubuisson. Wow! Did I consider picking him because I was heading to France last week? Yes, did I have the stones to go out on a limb and pick him? No, of course not. My goal is to make EVERY cut and then have my guys finish in the bottom 5.
Ten people picked Day including our leader Jen King who has opened up a fairly large lead by picking two winners and five straight in the top 10. As for the other final four, only one person picked any of the three -- Steve Smith had Els.
Thanks to Ian Poulter we lost quite a few this week in the cuts made streak. We're down to 9 left as they head into the Florida swing.

Bubba Goes Hollywood...
And proves Remsberg wrong by claiming his first victory since the 2012 Masters and closing the weekend with a 64-64. You either love Bubba or love to hate him. I'm happy to see him win the Northern Trust, but could do without the constant looking back at the crowd every time he hits a bad shot.
Although no one picked Bubba, nine of you had Dustin Johnson and his second place pay day. Jen King is our new leader and we have a few new faces in the top 10. There were no missed cuts, so those of us that are still alive live another week.
Match play is now upon us. Check out the bracket. If you're still alive in the cuts streak, both players you pick must advance past the first round. For you rookies, yes, you pick two players this week.

Pebble Beach Jimmy Walker Invitational...
Jimmy Walker, used to say DYOMITE! That's right. He nearly led wire-to-wire. Six of you must have been sitting on the edge of your couch yesterday as he played the 17th and 18th like a 15 handicapper. Speaking of playing like a 15 handicapper, who enjoyed watching Hunter doing his Bubba impersonation the last 10 holes -- probably not nine of you. I'm just jealous I didn't pick either of those guys!
LOTS of movement in the pool this week and nobody was booted out of the cuts made streak -- although Day and Kirk made it interesting, six still in it had picked them.

Waste Management Phoenix Open
Waste Management Open is an appropriately titled event for Bubba to waste his talent. Is it just me? Vote on the right and let me know if I'm wrong because Nick and Matt think I am. I want to like you Bubba, but you act approachable but you're not. You seem to care about winning, but your actions don't confirm that. Everyone associated with the game says he is one of the most talented players out there, but time and again he comes up lame. He hasn't won since the Masters. Yes, nobody can take that away but I expected more after that breakthrough.
Funny how much different those who picked Graham DeLaet must feel this morning versus those who picked Bubba. Even though they both finished T-2, they did it in very different ways. DeLaet goes 65-65 on the weekend and Bubba shoots 68-71. Two players going in different directions? I hope Bubba proves me wrong.
The winner pot continues to grow with the mini Walrus netting his first win. Everybody is still tight throughout the pool, even you Fitz. Just get a win this week and you'll be in the top 5...
