	Tour Outsider	Tour Insider	Winner
Total Earnings	$1,175,000	$1,400,000	TI
Avg Rank	18.8	13.2	TI
Made Cut	5	5	DRAW
Outcome	--	--	TI

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 (since there was not a "true" cut in the event).

The tournament overall was won by the Tour Insider.

The overall results between the Tour Outsider and the Tour Insider is 3 wins to the Tour Outsider, 4 wins to the Tour Insider, and 1 draw.

It is a good thing I was not able to pick Donald, as he crashed out in the first round. However, that resulted in me deciding to either pick Westwood or Garcia.  I selected Garcia.  I should have picked Westwood instead.  Westwood, who had not one more than two matches in any of the past instances of the tournament, made it to the semis.
