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 a draw.

The tournament overall was won by the Tour Outsider.

The overall results between the Tour Outsider and the Tour Insider is 10 wins to the Tour Outsider, 8 wins to the Tour Insider, and 2 draws.

I almost picked two winners in a row.  If McIlroy had won in the playoff, I would have had last week's winner (Dufner in the Zurich Classic) and this week's winner.  But I will take the consolidation prize of adding another point to my total against Bolton.  I need the cushion going into the summer tournaments. :-)  With four of our picks being the same this week, it was Curtis who continued his solid play that put me ahead of Bolton in this tournament.
