I went over the past results for the Masters and looked at taylormade19's picks and he actually had both Tiger Woods and Chris DiMarco in his picks. For those with a short memory, Tiger beat DiMarco in a playoff. He also had both Mike Weir and Vijay Singh who both finished T5. K.J. Choi finished T33, Fred Couples finished T39, Stephen Ames finished T45 and Jay Haas finished 48th.

For the PGA Championship Pick 'Em, I was kind of interested in how top point earners correlated with the leaderboard. Here's how it turned out.

1. Vijay Singh (50 points)
T2. Chris DiMarco (50 points)
T2. Justin Leonard (no points. wasn't picked)
T4. Ernie Els (48 points)
T4. Chris Riley (48 points)
T6. K.J. Choi (46 points)
T6. Paul McGinley (no points. wasn't picked)
T6. Phil Mickelson (44 points)

The top point earners correlate pretty closely to the leaderboard. I won that contest and of those 8 players, I happened to pick Ernie Els, Phil Mickelson, Chris DiMarco and K.J. Choi. I didn't pick Vijay (outside of my tiebreaker) but I did pick 4 of the top 8 golfers.

It's true someone could win without picking the winner (since I've already proved it). The winner might not even be in the original list of 40 players but I don't think it's possible to win this contest without picking players who more or less finish at or near the top of the leaderboard.

I could add bonus points for picking the winner of the tournament. It came across my mind before but I decided against it because I figured a player who shoots the low score of the tournament doesn't then get 5 strokes knocked off of his score. I guess it's what all of you feel the most emphasis should be placed on. Picking the winner or picking the best overall field.
