The 2004 British Open at Royal Troon will mark the second major tournament held since Golf Rewind was started. Since the U.S. Open Pick 'Em Game was so successful, we're having one for the British Open (and every major to follow).

The prize: sorry, but funds are kind of tight this month. The prize will be a "British Open Pick 'Em Champion" seal displayed below your User Title (Weekend Duffer, Golf Enthusiast, etc.). sbrentt, I'll work on yours for the U.S. Open Pick 'Em win.

Deadline to enter: this contest will be 15 minutes before tee off for the British Open on Thursday, June 17, 2004.

To be eligible: for this contest, you will need to have at least 20 posts. All other members can play but will not be eligible to win the prize. Spamming of the forum will not be tolerated and will result in your disqualification from the contest and possibly all future contests.

How to play: Select two players from Group A, three players from Group B and two more players from Group C who you think will score the lowest during the U.S. Open. The lowest scoring golfer of the day will receive 20 points for that day. Each stroke worse gets 2 points less all the way down to 0 points. (Thanks Keith).

For example, if Tiger Woods shoots the low round of the day with -3 and you pick him, you will get 20 points for him. If Ernie Els follows with -2 (a stroke behind), he will get 18 points (2 points less).

In the event of a tie, a tiebreaker will be instituted. Select 2 additional players from Group A and whoever picks the lowest combined score will win.
