Shell Houston Open Review

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

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

  1. Paul Casey | 142 (WD) | $0
  2. Fred Couples | 55 | $13,166
  3. Ernie Els | 44 | $17,535
  4. Vijay Singh | 142 (WD) | $0
  5. Anthony Kim | 1 | $1,044,000

Here are the results for the Tour Insider's (Bolton's) picks.

  1. Hunter Mahan | 81 (MC) | $0
  2. Paul Casey | 141 (WD) | $0
  3. Ernie Els | 44 | $17,535
  4. Padraig Harrington | 40 | $23,200
  5. Fred Couples | 55 | $53,901

Here is the comparison of the results for our picks.

Tour Outsider Tour Insider Winner
Total Earnings $1,074,701 $53,901 TO
Avg Rank 76.8 72.4 TI
Made Cut 3 3 DRAW
Outcome -- -- DRAW

The Total Earnings category was won by the Tour Outsider.

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 is 3 wins to the Tour Outsider, 7 wins to the Tour Insider, and 1 draw.

With picking a winner in Kim, you would have thought that I would have run away with it. The withdrawal of both Singh and Casey kicked me in the rear-end. I guess I should have paid more attention to Singh's back injury and the Masters coming up. Both Singh and Casey wanted to rest their injuries (Casey has a wrist injury) before playing in the Masters.
