 Here is the comparison of the results for our picks.

The Total Earnings category was won by the Tour Insider.

The Avg Rank category was won by the Tour Insider.

The Made Cut category was a draw.

The tournament overall was won by the Tour Insider.

The overall results between the Tour Outsider and the Tour Insider is 4 wins to the Tour Outsider, 11 wins to the Tour Insider, and 3 draws.

This tournament was one of our best. Although neither one of us had a winner (we were close, Donald lost in the playoff to Snedeker), an average ranking of 12.4 and 14.4 is rather good. This is even when Furyk had a bad final round (he moved from 2nd to 21s with his 76). If Furyk had finished 2nd, we would have both had an average ranking of less than 11. That is pretty good when picking 5 players in a tournament.

BTW: 1.8 is the lowest average ranking you can possibly get. To get a ranking of 1.8, you would have to pick the winner, and then have the other 4 players finish 2nd. Without ties, the lowest ranking is 3. This is where each player is ranked 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th in the tournament respectively. But then again, I am only dreaming that could happen.
