Tour Outsider: Tour Championship Review

It is now time to review the picks for the Tour Championship (US PGA Tour) 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 2.20 1 1 1 3 $1,260,000 2 Adam Scott 5.80 26 12 3 5 $116,900 3 Phil Mickelson 7.50 20 14 12 13 $134,400 4 Ernie Els 7.90 26 29 22 21 $116,900 5 Rory Sabbatini 8.80 9 13 16 13 $204,400

Woods was a winner for a second week in a row. Good thing that I picked him. However, the other 4 picks were not too hot based upon a 30 player field. Scott shot 78 during the final round -- looking like he didn't care to be playing in the tournament since he couldn't win it. He moved down 14 spots in the final round. Els could never get anything going on a course that was there for the taking.

My picks had a rank average of 13.4 for the 5 players I picked. That basically means that my picks were right down the middle in terms of the good-and-bad line. Ugh, not good.
