Tour Outsider: Barclays Classic Review

It is now time to review the picks for the Barclays 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 Jim Furyk 2.55 25 35 31 47 $49,035
2 Ernie Els 11.40 4 8 6 4 $289,333
3 Padraig Harrington 16.20 35 30 31 64 $33,775
4 Kenny Perry 16.95 25 8 6 30 $49,035
5 Vijay Singh 23.75 MC MC 104 116 $0

Looks like skipping over Garcia to pick Singh was not a good choice this week, as Singh missed the cut and Garcia placed 25th.

Of note, it was nice to see a fellow University of Illinois alumni (where I did my grad work), Steve Stricker, win the tournament. That was nice to see, especially after he had gone through some tough years on the golf course. Since we are talking about alumni, it was also nice to see fellow SMU alumni (where I did my undegrad), Colt Knost, win the U.S. Amateur this weekend. Go UofI and SMU!

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

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