Tour Ousider: Zurich Classic Review

It is now time to review the picks for the Zurich Classic to see how the results turned out.

Here are the results of the Tour Outsider (my) picks.

Rank Player CLi Rank Earnings Rd4 Rd3 Rd2 Rd1 Actual 1 Stephen Leaney 13.30 MC MC 124 32 $0 2 Sean O'Hair 13.80 15 11 30 52 $103,700 3 Bo Van Pelt 33.20 28 27 30 32 $37,210 4 Bob Estes 37.20 8 11 20 15 $176,900 5 Bubba Watson 38.60 5 6 12 77 $222,650

My number 1 pick, Leaney, didn't fare very well. He missed the cut. Not good. However, Watson and Estes pulled their weight, which was nice. They played solidly.

Here are the results of the Tour Insider (Dave Shedloski) picks.

• 1 David Toms | 44th | $16,521
• 2 Steve Stricker | 11th | $134,200
• 3 Jeff Quinney | 115 (MC) | $0
• 4 Sean O'Hair | 15th | $103,700
• 5 Anthony Kim | 3rd | $353,800

For the Tour Insider, both Stricker and Kim pulled good final rounds. Stricker moved from 36th to 11th with a final round of 67. Kim made the biggest move of the day shooting 65, which moved him from 27th to 3rd. Nice moves in the final round.

Here is the comparison between the Tour Ousider and Tour Insider picks.

	Tour Ousider	Tour Insider	Winner
Total Earnings	$540,460	$608,221	TI
Avg Rank	36.0	37.6	TO
Made Cut	4	4	DRAW
Outcome	--	--	DRAW

The Tour Insider won the Total Earnings category. The strength of Stricker's and Kim's final round pulled him through in that category.

The Tour Outsider won the Avg Rank category.

The Made Cut category was a draw, with both of us having one player missing the cut.

This tournament was a draw between the Tour Insider and the Tour Outsider, with the score 1-to-1.

The Cli top 15 looked this (see below). Interesting that the CLi picked Ken Duke to play well, leading during part of the final round, and ultimately finishing 2nd. As well, in the top 15 was the veteran Mark Calcavecchia, who lead after two rounds, and finished 5th.
