Travelers Championship Review

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

Here are the results of the Tour Outsider (my) picks.
  1. Justin Rose | 9 | $156,000
  2. Scott Verplank | 2 | $528,000
  3. Bo Van Pelt | 34 | $29,025
  4. Kenny Perry | 74 | $11,400
  5. Boo Weekley | 51 | $14,120
Here are the results for the Tour Insider's (Bolton's) picks.
  1. Scott Verplank | 2 | $528,000
  2. Bo Van Pelt | 34 | $29,025
  3. Hunter Mahan | 129 (MC) | $0
  4. Bubba Watson | 1 | $1,080,000
  5. Justin Rose | 9 | $156,000
Here is the comparison of the results for our picks.

Tour Outsider Tour Insider Winner
Total Earnings $738,545 $1,793,025 TI
Avg Rank 34.0 35.0 TO
Made Cut 5 4 TO
Outcome -- -- TO

The Total Earnings category was won by the Tour Insider.

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 9 wins to the Tour Outsider, 13 wins to the Tour Insider, and 1 draw.

It would have been nice if Rose could have played well in the final round to carry his 54-hole lead to the clubhouse after the final round. However, Rose struggled during the final round, and placed 9th.

This week is a mirror of the results from last week (the U.S. Open). Even though Bolton had a winner in Watson, I was able to win the tournament because of a better rank average and number of players that made the cut. So the results of this tournament (Travelers Championship) and the U.S. Open last week are a wash between Bolton and I.
