Tour Outsider: Barclays Classic Review

It is now time to review the picks for the Barclays Championship 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 S Padraig Harrington 11.35 MC MC 92 65 $0 2 S Sergio Garcia 18.00 2 2 6 25 $616,000 3 S Phil Mickelson 19.30 19 39 21 25 $84,840 4 S Jim Furyk 30.85 12 11 36 25 $129,000 5 S Stuart Appleby 34.30 19 11 36 45 $84,840

This week is a lot better than the results I have had the past 4 weeks. It is nice to see a top ten finish, with Garcia placing second --- losing in a playoff to Singh. Then the next 3 players in my pick list all placed in the top 20. That is very nice to see.

The only negative mark on the picks score card this week was that 1 player missed the cut: Harrington. No one thought that Harrington was going to miss the cut. Most people thought he was going to actually place well. So to see him miss the cut this week was a surprise to say the least.

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

• 1 Phil Mickelson 19 | $84,840
• 2 Jim Furyk | 12 | $129,000
• 3 Steve Stricker | 19 | $84,840
• 4 Justin Leonard | 7 | $203,700
• 5 Justin Rose 135 (WD) | $0
