Dave A. Wins The Wells Fargo! |
His unique pick of Bill Haas makes the difference... |
I would say that, as a whole, our picks this week sucked. Out
of the 24 golfers we chose, only 2 finished in the top 10 and 5
in the top 20. Dave A.'s unique pick of 4th place Bill Haas,
plus t9 Mickelson, was all he needed to win this week's
tournament by $174,595 over Jordie. Jordie had t16 Rickie
Fowler as a unique, plus 2 other top 20 finishers, more top 20's
than anyone else. Mike D. ended up third, $36,563 behind Jordie.
Dan missed the last money spot by only $16,738. I ended up winning the Spring "Tiger May Care" pool by about $273,000 over 2nd place Brian. Steve finished 3rd, about $16,000 behind Brian and $21,000 ahead of 4th place Hugh. With one week to go in the Spring Season race, the top 4, in order, are again Bill, Brian, me and Dave B. Nobody in the top 10 changed position. The next tournament in about 10 days is the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial, henceforward to be known simply as The Colonial, in Fort Worth, Texas. I wonder if the TV people will mention Ben Hogan? Nah, I doubt it. With a strong field this week and then the Players Championship next week, I'm sure the field at The Colonial will be stellar. But the season race will be on the line, so we'll have to try. I'm predicting now a record number of uniques. Get those picks in on time. Later, |
