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.

The tournament overall was won by the Tour Outsider.

The overall results between the Tour Outsider and the Tour Insider is 2 wins to the Tour Outsider, 1 win to the Tour Insider, and 1 draw.

We both had a winner in Snedeker. Snedeker backed into the win, as Kyle Stanley took a triple bogey on the last hole and lost in the playoff against Snedeker. That is a heartbreak for Stanley.

This week gives me the lead again, as the difference for me was Points, who placed in the top 10, and Howell III made the cut...giving me the edge.

Only Crane missed the cut in my picks. He was a favorite based upon the CLi figures, but missed the cut by one shot. The CLi got that one wrong.
