It is now time to review the picks for the BMW Championship to see how the results turned out.

Here are the results of the Tour Outsider (my) picks.

Ok, with my late post last week for the BMW Championship (posted on Thursday before the start of the first round, which got rained out), I was able to get my picks in publicly. They did fairly well, averaging 29.2 with their ranks. If Weir had played better, it would have been a lot better. However, he placed last in the field for those players that finished all 4 rounds of play (67th place).

The bright spot this week was Furyk, who placed 3rd. All five of my players made the cut, which is a good thing. However, that is a false statistics this week as there was not cut to be made and only one player didn't finish all 4 rounds of play and that was Chad Campbell who withdrew after the first round.

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

• 1 Jim Furyk 3 | $406,000
• 2 Vijay Singh | 44 | $21,163
• 3 Justin Leonard | 17 | $105,000
• 4 Ernie Els | 17 | $105,000
• 5 Kenny Perry 44 | $21,163

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

	Tour Outsider	Tour Insider	Winner
Total Earnings	$660,263	$658,326	TO
Avg Rank	29.4	25.0	TI
Made Cut	5	5	DRAW
Outcome	--	--	DRAW

The Total Earnings category was won by the Tour Outsider by less than $2,000. That made for an interesting weekend in itself...with the figure being that close to determine who won this category.

The Avg Rank category was won by the Tour Insider.

The Made Cut category was a draw.

This tournament overall was a draw.

The overall results between the Tour Outsider and the Tour Insider year to date is, 17 wins to the Tour Outsider, 15 wins to the Tour Insider, and 6 draws.
