Tour Outsider: Honda Classic Review

It is now time to review the picks for the Honda 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 Boo Weekley 4.90 74 37 42 32 $10,505 2 Luke Donald 7.25 2 1 12 1 $594,000 3 Steve Marino 11.25 24 37 20 17 $44,550 4 Chad Campbell 16.05 20 26 54 32 $64,075 5 Robert Allenby 18.10 4 8 6 17 $227,333

This was another good week with two players in the top 5: Donald and Allenby. Donald had a chance to win coming into the last hole. He needed to make a birdie on the final hole to force a playoff with Ernie Els, who eventually won. Good for Els.

It was good that I didn't pick Brian Gay as he withdrew before the start of the tournament. Most probably it was because he was still enjoying his first US PGA Tour win from last week.

I removed Gay from my last to pick Allenby. That turned out to be a good decision as Allenby placed 4th.

Again, the nice thing this week is that I had all 5 players make the cut.

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