Here is the comparison of the results for our picks.

	Tour Outsider	Tour Insider	Winner
Total Earnings	$1,847,600	$1,816,588	TO
Avg Rank	53.8	48.8	TI
Made Cut	4	5	TI
Outcome	--	--	TI

The Total Earnings category was won by the Tour Outsider.

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, 8 wins to the Tour Insider, and 2 draws.

Even though I won the total earnings, I lost the average rank and made cut categories.  Mickelson, who had been playing well lately, pulled me down on this one.  All Phil had to do was finish 89th or better....three shots better than his 79 on day two would have done the trick.  Ah, well.

As for Sergio, he had to climb the tree on Sunday and then withdraw to throw the average rankings off for both Bolton and I.
