Wyndham Yawn Update...

Not a single person made their way into or out of the top 10. Nobody jumped into the top 3 either. This is exactly why we moved the Wyndham out of the pool the past few years when it followed the PGA Championship.

The final standings and earnings for the regular season are posted below.

Olympic / Green Tractor Update

We had some MAJOR movement over the weekend. Chris Hood jumped from 14th to 4th with picks of Ryan Moore and Henrik Stenson. Tom Sullivan also moved back into the top 10 by picking Ryan Moore. Cabo-Wabo, Mike Blair, John Doyle, Drew Johns, Justin Marksamer and BJ Sweeney picked golden boy Justin Rose and made nice moves up the leaderboard. We had $60 in the winner's pot which will be split 8 ways. Your personal earnings now reflect that.

For the first time in 5 years, the playoff slots (top 10) will hinge on the Wyndham Championship. Here are scenarios...

- Russ Tigue has clinched 1st place in the regular season. He earns $600 for his dominant performance.
- Tigue, Matt Saler, Hunter Hughey, Chris Hood and Travis Brown have clinched top 10 finishes.
- Players in 11th - 17th are still mathematically alive to claim top 10 spots and advance to the playoffs

Everyone in 18th place or lower is out!

58 at The Travelers!

Wow! 58! Hopefully some of you got a chance to tune in early to see Furyk's 58. I know at least 3 of you were there live, that had to be awesome! I saw Nick give Jimmy a pat on the back as he walked through the throngs on 18. On a HUGE sports news day (A-Rod, Ichiro, Olympics, NFL paint gate) Jim Furyk vaulted to the top, carding the lowest score in PGA TOUR history.

Jim bested third round leader Daniel Berger by 16 shots! 16! This should have been the year I chose the Travelers for the pick after the cut because this is what it was about. Any guy, any day. The guys at the top didn't perform and got run over. Russell Knox was your winner but even he only shot 68.

We didn't have much movement in the standings because the best pick was Brooks Koepka at $184,000. Below are updated standing.

Don't miss the poll above, would love to know what the lowest round you've ever carded was!

DYNOMITE!

And I don't feel bad saying it because you heard it here first! I love it when a guy who is well known in golf wins his first major then everyone outside the golf world acts like he's a nobody. This guy is good, he's been around and the fact that he broke through probably doesn't surprise anyone in this pool. Heard a funny interview with him on Mike & Mike this am and Golic actually asked him if he's heard DYNOMITE much and Jimmy said that this weekend it was funny because so many people yelling it acted like they were the first to ever do it. Jersey boys!

As for the pool, nobody picked Jimmy. But we had some serious movement because there were 5 MC's in the top 10 and only Scoop (#10) picked anyone who netted more than $90,000. Jeff Henry and BJ Sweeney shared top pick honors with Jason Day. They split $300 and also moved into the top 10.

Things from 10-24 have gotten extremely tight with just $1.5M separating #24 from #10.
