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 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 1 win to the Tour Outsider, 1 win to the Tour Insider, and 1 draw.

The delayed 3rd round (due to high winds) kicked my butt this week. Going into the 3rd round, and at the start of the 3rd round, my picks were sitting relatively pretty (would have been even better if I had not skipped over Crane, as he was leading after the 2nd round). However, after the organizers decided to suspend the 3rd round on Saturday, my players' scores skyrocketed. My players lost 72 spots from round 2 to round 3, and an additional 14 spots from round 3 to round 4...oops.  I guess they didn't like the 3rd round being stopped on Saturday and being moved to Sunday (or they didn't like the high winds.....).

This resulted in a poor showing for me this week. Although Bolton do very well this week either, he did squeak out the win.

Note: If I had not skipped over Crane in the CLi rankings (he was ranked 2nd in the CLi ranking), I would have bested Bolton. Crane finished 8th in the tournament, earning $156,800.  Maybe that will teach me not to go against the CLi. :-)
