It is now time to review the picks for the Deutsche Bank U.S. Championship to see how the results turned out.

  3. Tiger Woods | 3 | $544,000
  4. Jim Furyk | 13 | $145,600

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.

The tournament overall was won by the Tour Insider.

The overall results between the Tour Outsider and the Tour Insider is 19 wins to the Tour Outsider15 wins to the Tour Insider, and 4 draws.

This was a good tournament for me, as my picks earned more than $1m (without one of them winning the tournament) and had an average rank of 14.6.  Normally, those two figures would win a tournament.  But Bolton had an even better tournament.  He picked the winner (McIlroy) and the 2nd place finisher (Oosthuizen).  In addition, he had another player finish in the top 6 (Snedeker), with his worst place finisher only being 26th (Donald).  Very nice!!
