Northern Trust Update


James Hahn pulls off his first PGA victory. I doubt he's been picked in this pool...ever. He has five top 10's in 65 career starts. Tough playoff blow to Paul Casey and Dustin Johnson.

Another week of solid picks. A lot of players in the mix yesterday afternoon. Brian Jones continues to pad his lead with the DJ's second place finish. John Barnes, Sean Scoopmire, and Tom Sullivan all had him as well. 

Remsberg is out of the cellar!

AT&T Pebble Beach Update

Wow! Pebble. That will warm you on a cold winter day. For those that have never been, yes it is that beautiful and more. Plan a trip out there when you can.

You all (not me) continue the amazing run of picks to start the year. Rob, BJ and Chad all picked Sneds and several also picked Watney and DJ. A pep talk for me and the rest of the bottom feeders -- you're just one win away from being back in the playoff hunt.

Farmers Update...

A very interesting finish yesterday with a PLAYOFF!? I don't understand why John B Holmes didn't see how the mainsail set with a long iron to the middle of the green on his 72nd hole. Arguably the longest guy on tour. Perhaps it was Lucas Glover's near duck killing pond jumper that spooked him? Did anyone else catch the amazing stat that JB has birdied 46% of all par 5's during his career? Not sure what is more impressive that stat or the fact that he played on his high school varsity golf team starting in 3rd grade -- look it up!

One solo winner this week with Mr. Swanson taking Jason Day. On the other side of the coin, tons of people knocked out of the streakin' contest with either Matsuyama, Thomas or Spieth -- all of whom missed the cut. There are15 people still alive for the $230...

Waste Management Update...

Lots of beers were consumed in the desert over the weekend. Phil and Tiger missed the cut but not sure how many attending even noticed. Brooks Koepka wins, always fun when a guy wins who NOBODY has ever picked in the pool's history. Shows just how many great players there are out there. Updated standings...
