Both Bolton and I redeemed ourselves after the poor (tough) picks last week in the Valero Texas Open.  I had a win (Dufner) and three players in the top 7.  Bolton had two players in the top 6.  Compared to last week, our average ranks are over half last week's figures.  The average rank last week was 79.2 and 80.2, and this week our average ranks are 31.8 and 38.6.  The average rank figures could have been lower, but we each had a blemish on the scorecard with one player missing the cut.  With Dufner winning his first US PGA Tour event, I was able to run away with a win in the tournament.  This win puts me ahead again this year.
