Tour Outsider: British Open Review

It is now time to review the picks for the British Open 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 Tiger Woods 5.40 12 15 20 8 $119,455 2 Scott Verplank 13.50 57 45 42 39 $22,026 3 Vijay Singh 13.70 27 10 20 39 $57,470 4 K.J. Choi 20.30 8 3 2 8 $193,241 5 Niclas Fasth 26.10 35 45 31 104 $41,008

Had 1 top 10, and all 5 players made the cut, which works out nice for a major tournament like the British Open. However, looks like several of the players that I passed over to pick Niclas Fasth did better than Fasth, including Els (placed 4th) and Furyk (placed 12th). Also the CLi did well in predicting Hunter Mahan playing well. He finished 6th.

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

• 1 Tiger Woods | 12 | $119,455
• 2 Jim Furyk | 12 | $119,455
• 3 Angel Cabrera | 34 | $48,948
• 4 Phil Mickelson | 81 (MC) | $5,405
• 5 Colin Montgomerie | 71 (MC) | $6,526

Shedloski saw 2 of his picks miss the cut. They, however, still earned some money, as the British Open pays players even if they miss the cut.

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