WGC / Mayakoba Wrap-Up

A wild weekend in the pool highlighted by Mr. Nick Eber who picked both finalists and moved from 14th to first in the standings. Patrick King also picked a winner in James Huh. It's rare to get a W in an "off field" event.

Also of import, there were 14 people left in the cuts made streak coming into the week. And there are just five left thanks mainly to Mr. Donald and Mr. Scott. Oddly enough all five are outside of the top 10 in the standings - another reason this pool rocks! You get rewarded for consistency and wins.

Below are the standings...

1 - Nick Eber - $3,318,115
2 - Tom Roberts - $3,247,300
3 - John Barnes - $3,173,250

Northern Trust Open

Where to start? Amazing finish to the PGA TOUR event for the fourth week in a row. Greenville's own Bill Haas pulled it out of nowhere - Greg Adams had him solo and moved into 4th place. In our pool only six people missed the cut and they were already all eliminated from the cuts made streak. Really solid picks for those that did make the cut. This will definitely be the week where people start to drop out of the streak - needing two first round wins and a made cut in Mexico to continue on. Here's the updated standings...

Waste Management Open

A nice redemption weekend for Kyle Stanley. The former Clemson star and Gig Harbor, Washington native bounced back from some bad luck at the Farmers to win the Waste Management. Gary Forte the former PGA Challenge champ was solo with the pick and nets $10 and moves into 5th place.

Also of note, only three people making picks, missed the cut this week, each of whom was already out of the cuts made streak so we still have 16 alive in that race for $200.
