It is now time to review the picks for the EDS Byron Nelson Championship 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 Sean O'Hair 3.25 25 28 2 1 $50,243 2 Stephen Leaney 11.10 29 28 18 38 $36,729 3 Vijay Singh 15.05 13 5 7 21 $111,300 4 Jerry Kelly 18.50 3 10 30 21 $302,400 5 Luke Donald 31.45 2 1 1 4 $680,400

Nice to see all players make the cut, with the highest rank of a player (Leaney) being 29th. Definitely, Donald and Kelly played well, placing 2nd and 3rd respectively. Donald was leading after the 2nd and 3rd rounds, having a chance to tie Verplank (the ultimate winner) with a 10 foot birdie on the last hole. He, however, missed it to finish in a strong 2nd place. Kelly played solidly on the weekend, while birding the last hole to get into 3rd place.

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

• 1 Sergio Garcia | 70th | $12,726
• 2 Luke Donald | 2nd | $680,400
• 3 Shigeki Maruyama | 44th | $18,594
• 4 Rory Sabbatini | 3rd | $302,400

For the Tour Insider, Donald, Sabbatini, and Wetterich all played well.
