Tour Outsider: Viking Classic Review

It is now time to review the picks for the Viking 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 Carl Pettersson 5.80 59 54 60 90 $7,630 2 Charlie Wi 6.85 MC MC 73 116 $0 3 Heath Slocum 10.60 13 22 28 33 $65,625 4 Brett Wetterich 12.60 MC MC 98 116 $0 5 John Senden 21.20 5 9 5 8 $127,750

Again, not a good week, with two players missing the cut. I would have thought that Wi and Wetterich would have had no problem making the cut, but they didn't seem to do too well. Wi missed the cut on the number. His first round did him in. For Wetterich, he just did not have it this week.

On a positive note, did have a top five finish with Senden placing fifth.

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

• 1 Boo Weekley | 3 | $203,000
• 2 Steve Elkington | 39 | $14,350
• 4 Heath Slocum | 13 | $65,625
• 3 Chad Campbell | 1 | $630,000
• 5 Fred Funk | 22 | $31,550

Shedloski had a very nice week. He had winner (Campbell) and a third place finisher (Weekley). Plus, his worst finisher was only 39th. Nice going.

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

	Tour Ousider	Tour Insider	Winner
Total Earnings	$201,005	$944,525	TI
Avg Rank	49.2	15.6	TI
Made Cut	3	5	TI
Outcome	--	--	TI

The Tour Insider won the Total Earnings category.

The Tour Insider won the Avg Rank category.

The Tour Insider won the Made Cut category.

This tournament was won by the Tour Insider in a sweep of all 3 categories. That is a sweep of all of the categories for 2 weeks in a row. Ouch.

This is the third week in a row that I have lost the challenge. Hopefully I will be able to turn things around this coming week for the tournament in my native state of Texas.

The overall results between the Tour Outsider and the Tour Insider to date is, 12 wins to the Tour Outsider, 9 wins to the Tour Insider, and 3 draws.
