British Open Review

It is now time to review the picks for the British Open to see how the results turned out.

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

  • 1 Tiger Woods | 74 MC | $5,212
  • 2 Steve Stricker | 52 | $18,303
  • 3 Jim Furyk | 34 | $38,276
  • 4 Retief Goosen | 5 | $255,713
  • 5 Ian Poulter | 147 MC | $3,420

Two of my picks missed the cut (Woods and Poulter), both of which were a surprise. Woods "never" misses a cut, and Poulter had been playing well leading up to the tournament. Stricker and and Furyk played decenter. Goosen was the shining star in my 5 picks, placing 5th.

Here are the results for Paul's picks.

  • 1 Tiger Woods | 74 MC | $5,212
  • 2 Tim Clark | 85 MC | $4,316
  • 3 Sergio Garcia | 38 | $31,190
  • 4 Geoff Ogilvy | 145 MC | $3,420
  • 5 Padraig Harrington | 65 | $16,206

Here is the comparison of the results for our picks.

Tour Outsider Paul Ginn Winner
Total Earnings $320,924 $60,344 TI
Avg Rank 62.2 81.4 TI
Made Cut 3 2 TI
Outcome -- -- TI

The Total Earnings category was won by the Tour Insider.

The Avg Rank category was won by the Tour Insider.

The Tour Insider won Made Cut category for the clean sweep of all three categories.

This tournament overall was won by the Tour Insider.

The overall results between the Tour Outsider and Paul is 1 win to the Tour Outsider, 0 wins to Paul, and 0 draws.

The British Open is a difficult tournament to pick. So hopefully the next couple of tournaments will show better results for the both of us.
