Here is the comparison of the results for our picks.

	Tour Outsider	Tour Insider	Winner

Avg Rank	66.8	75.6	TO

Outcome	--	--	TO

The Total Earnings category was won by the Tour Outsider.

The Avg Rank category was won by the Tour Outsider.

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 6 wins to the Tour Outsider, 9 wins to the Tour Insider, and 1 draw.

For a tournament that is usually easy to select players that will NOT withdraw, this year was different for the PLAYERS Championship. Bolton had Kim pull out before the tournament started, and I had Wood withdraw during the final round. Along with several players that missed the cut, our overall results didn't not turn out very well. Let's see if the Valero Texas Open this coming week will be better for both the Tour Out/Insiders. In the meantime, I will savor the win on my part before moving to make picks for the tournament in my native state of Texas.

Oh, before signing off for the evening, I must add that it was very enjoyable seeing the South African bulldog, Tim Clark, win his first US PGA Tour event. Congrats!!!!
