	Tour Outsider	Tour Insider	Winner

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 3 wins to the Tour Outsider, 3 wins to the Tour Insider, and 1 draw.

We are all tied up now, at 3 wins a piece. My early season lead has been wiped out in the last two weeks.

One of my picks, Mickelson, placed second losing in a playoff. However, Bolton had Mickelson in his picks as well. So that was a wash. Overall, Bolton had some strong picks: 4 of his 5 placed in the top 17, with two in the top 4. What really hurt me this week was that my picks all flared out in the last two rounds....having a scoring average of 73 and 76 in rounds 3 and 4. They lost a combined 63 places in the final round alone. Not a strong weekend for my picks.
