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 17 wins to the Tour Outsider, 12 wins to the Tour Insider, and 4 draws.

I edged out a win, having only $10,500 more in total earnings in this tournament than Bolton.  The difference was in Westwood's finish.  He crashed down the leaderboard to 70th during the 3rd round with an 81.  The players that I picked and which were in the middle of the leaderboard for most of the tournament held strong over the weekend.
