Tour Outsider Tour Insider Winner
Total Earnings $748,051 $623,224 TO
Avg Rank 45.0 46.6 TO
Made Cut 4 4 DRAW
Outcome -- -- TO

The Total Earnings category was won by the Tour Outsider.

The Avg Rank category was won by the Tour Outnsider.

The Made Cut category was won by the Tour Outsider.

This tournament overall was won by the Tour Outsider.

The overall results between the Tour Outsider and the Tour Insider is 7 wins to the Tour Outsider, 11 wins to the Tour Insider, and 1 draw.

I am glad I got this win, as it made sure that I was not "swept" in the tournaments played in my native state of Texas. As well, it was nice to have 2 of the top 4 players on my team this week. Bolton also did well with 2 of the top 6 players on his team this week.  It was a close outing, but I was able to stay one rank ahead of him with two of my players...the two players that were different between our two picks since we had 3 of the same players on both of our "teams".

The poor showing on the team was Mickelson, who missed the cut and only bettered 1 player in the field that finished the first two rounds (i.e. not including the players that withdrew).Not a very good showing for him. It must have been the press that got to him...telling him that he could become the number 1 ranked player in the world if he won the tournament....
