yay!! 6th last!

things can only get better eh? ;)

Let's not forget that I finished DEAD LAST in the two previous Pick `em games... I'm mounting my comeback.

How about results after the 2nd round???

Victory is probably busy using some super secret computer technology to insure he keeps the top spot!

Yes, I figure, why take the chances of posting scores when I'm in first? I wouldn't want to risk being anything less. :D

I'll try to post the 2nd and 3rd round scores sometime during the final round. Sorry it's so late but I've been extremely busy Friday and Saturday and haven't had time at all to update anything.

If I lived in Hawaii, I'd be too busy every day to do anything but play golf and go to the beach.

Yeah... I was under the impression that you live in Hawaii... Don't know where I got that idea.

So Victory, who won in this thread? Probably not me, but I didn't know what to root for since I wasn't 100% on the rules of this. It's a little complicated. I'm sure, though, if I read it over again I'll get the gist of it in time for the 2005 Masters.

Here is the final leaderboard. I will post 2nd and 3rd round leaderboards and doublecheck everything but for now, this is how it looks:

Here are the top 8 finishers in the PGA Championship and the amount of points they earned for the Pick 'Em game. Using our format, it pretty much reflected the tournament itself.

Vijay Singh - Winner - 50 points
Chris DiMarco - T2 - 50 points
Justin Leonard - T2 - Not picked
Ernie Els - T4 - 48 points
Chris Riley - T4 - 48 points
KJ Choi - T6 - 46 points
Paul McGinley - T6 - Not picked
Phil Mickelson - T6 - 44 points

This is a little late but it seems some members are a little confused as to how the scoring works so I'll try to explain it a little better here.

Basically, each player will receive a score for each round. If your player misses the cut, they will receive scores for 2 rounds (Thurs and Fri). If your player makes the cut, they will receive four scores for all 4 days of the tournament.

Now, how does the scoring system work? Let's take round 1 for example. The player with the lowest score will receive 20 points. In this case, it was Darren Clarke. Then every shot behind the highest score for the round will receive 2 less points.

So Darren Clarke shot a 65 and received 20 points. Justin Leonard and Ernie Els were 1 shot back at 66 so they received 18 points. Briny Baird, Scott Verplank, Luke Donald and Vijay Singh shot 67 (2 shots back) so they received 16 points. Then it goes down all the way to 0.

Then on Round 2, everybody starts with a clean slate. Miguel Angel Jimenez had the low round of 65 for 20 points. Vijay Singh, Jeff Coston, Joe Ogilvie and Shaun Micheel had the next best round of 68. This was 3 shots back of the best round so they each received 14 points each.

Basically, you go down all the way to 0 for each day and do this for all 4 days. I think the top 8 results have pretty much shown that if your player shoots a good score, they'll be rewarded with a good Pick 'Em score.
