Here is the comparison of the results for our picks.

	Tour Outsider	Tour Insider	Winner
Total Earnings	$599,663	$599,657	TO
Avg Rank	40.6	28.8	TI
Made Cut	3	5	TI
Outcome	--	--	TI

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 won by the Tour Insider.

The tournament overall was won by the Tour Insider.

The overall results between the Tour Outsider and the Tour Insider is 6 wins to the Tour Outsider, 17 wins to the Tour Insider, and 3 draws.

The total earnings category was the closest it has every been for when we have had players place differently. I squeaked out that category by a total of $6. However, that didn't afford me a win in the tournament, as I proceeded to have 2 players miss the cut. Bolton did a wonderful job in having all 5 of his players make the cut. That is a difficult thing to do for the U.S. Open.

I am getting close to being stymied this year, as I am now down 11 tournaments and there are 18 tournaments left in the season.  ...and it is early in the season.  Ouch.
