Tour Championship Update...

A big congratulations to Dr. Wes Harden who held on by a slim $33,000 to beat Dr. Gray Kitchens.   How little is $33,000? Wes and Gray both picked Spieth and DJ but Harden had Rickie and Gray had Rose. Had Rose finished one shot better he wins the pool for the second time.

Harden wins the coveted perpetual trophy for a year and $600. Apparently in addition to playing a lot of weekday golf, dentists are good at this pool too. Below are final standings and earnings.

BMW Update...

Not sure how they picked him (feel free to comment on the bottom) but Wes and Mulli both correctly picked Marc Leishman. Their new favorite Australian golfer helped them move into first and third in the standings respectively. We've got an all GCC top 3 but with the ability to pick any three golfers and the most parity since the FEDEX Cup began, I truly believe anything can happen in Atlanta.

Wyndham Championship Recap and Playoffs...

Congratulations to Stefen Lovelace for winning the regular season. He held off the competition with a wise pick of Webb Simpson who finished solo third. Jonathan Mullikin and Chris Edwards complete the cash earning top 3.

Although nobody moved into to top 12, there was some excitement with Webb's run and six people picking Henrik Stenson. All of whom were too far out of the playoff cut line to jump in, thus the equivalent of a birdie on 18 to shoot 94 -- AKA -- whipped cream on S^*T.

Below are the final regular season standings with earnings. Congratulations to those who made the playoffs. A reminder that you will be now making 1 pick that you haven't used yet until the TOUR Championship where you will select ANY 3 golfers whether you've used them or not.

PGA Championship Update...

Exciting major? Yes, thank you. That was some crazy stuff down the stretch. Always nice to see one of the good guys win their first. We didn't get a ton of movement in the pool but some did move closer to the playoff line. There were 10 people who split best major pick honors and $200 with their picks of Rickie and Hideki. Wow! Just noticed how similar those names are do you think Hideki is the Japanese equivalent of Rickie? Probably not.

The past few years we didn't pick the Wyndham (hell even the PGA TOUR doesn't give a damn - see screen shot below from their website) but we've added it back this year and it will matter as 13-26 are still mathematically alive. Everyone else, well I hope you pick a solo winner and take $25 as a consolation prize. 

Below are the payouts. Pretty simple scenarios for 1st through 3rd.

Lovelace - clinched at least 3rd place. 
Mullikin - will finish 1st through 4th.
Edwards - will finish 1st through 4th.
Kitchens - can finish as high as 2nd.
Blair - clinched playoff spot
Reilly - clinched playoff spot

Regular Season Champ	$800
Regular Season 2nd Place	$600
Regular Season 3rd Place	$300
Majors Top Pick ($200 X 4 tourney's)	$800
