PGA Update...

Read em' and weep folks. The final regular season standings are below. Hats off to Mike Jones who picked the last two major winners to vault to the top. Andrew Tucker, Tom Roberts and Kyle also had the Duf. They climbed to 2nd-4th respectively in the standings. At the other end of the top 10, Hunter Hughey snuck in by $14,000 over Patrick King when Keegan Bradley bogeyed the 72nd hole.

A quick reminder on the playoff rules. The top 10 players all start back at $0. In the first three events you must pick players you have NOT previously used. At The TOUR Championship you can pick any three players in the field.

RBC Canadian Open


Wow! Where to start. Hunter Mahan, three of you had him and would have either moved into the top 10 or been very close had he stayed and won. Thus we have a new rule. The Mahan's baby rule. Effective immediately, if you select a player who leaves mid-tournament to be there for a birth of a child, you can use that player again later. Although, I'm not too sure Brian, Travis or Stefan will want to do that.

On a different front, I had Dustin Johnson solo, he either wins the tourney or at least gets in a playoff with a par on the 17th. Dude drove it so far right only one other player had hit it OB there all week. Thanks rock head.

On a much more positive note, Don Adams patience in not using Brandt Snedecker until now paid off. He picked him solo and moved into 9th place in the standings.

Fan favorite picks Daniel Summerhays (MC) and Hideki Matsuyama ($84K) didn't really pan out. Full standings are below, this is going to be a dog fight. Big week this week with two tourneys. Get your picks in by first tee time Thursday!

The Open with a side of Sanderson Farms Update

What a day of golf. Phil Mickelson snuck up on the field and lapped them before they knew what hit them. My only disappointment was that he didn't show off that four inch vertical again. I guess at this point in his career he knows his limits. The picks for the British were feast or famine with very little in between. Andrew, Tom, Gray, Brian and Mike all picked Phil. These folks now hold down the top 3 spots in the pool as well as 7th and 15th.

There are only 4 tournaments left, pick wisely. Remember in the playoffs you can't use any players you've used previously until the TOUR championship. Rules and payouts are listed at the bottom of the excel sheet.
