1st, T9, T9, T12. Pretty good. Several of you did very well!

[CDu]

I'm at 1, T2, T12, T28, T35, MC

Ugg

1, T2, T12, T28, 60. Got me by a whisker

Molinari -1
Rose - T2
Woods - T6
Fleetwood- T12

Did I win?

Strong likelihood is yes. I think you edged out Rich by about $200K.

[mr. synellinden]

Strong likelihood is yes. I think you edged out Rich by about $200K.

I won’t be able to total it for a few hours but I think so.

Eddie Pepperell - my new favorite golfer.

Shows up hungover for the final round at The Open, shoots -4 to finish tied for 6th.

I do my drinking ON the course, not the night before.

I stopped watching midway through the round once Tiger took the lead. Can't stand him and hate the way rounds are covered when he's playing. Once I left, everything worked out OK.

Here's my picks after the last round:

T28 R.Fowler
T2 Rory - $687,349
T12 Fleetwood
1 Molanari - $1,872,770
T51 DeChambeau
T6 Tiger - $324,166
T17 Z.Johnson

I found a few of the payouts online but can't find a full list.

[Bob Green]

Respectable showing on my part (1, T12, T17, T28, T39) due to having the winner. I'm already looking forward to the PGA Championship in three weeks. I'm interested in seeing how the aggregate standings look with three majors in the books.

[YmoBeThere]

Playoff at -5. Book it.

Hmmm, too bad there wasn't pie on the line.

...takes the nerves out of those downhill 4 footers....not that there are any hills to speak of in Carnoustie.

[jimsumner]

The Americans--no, not that The Americans--dominated the first three days. But when the chips were down, none of the top four going into the final round could even shoot par.

I really thought Spieth was set up nicely. But he just couldn't handle those final few holes.

At the 3/4 pole, here are the standings. See you in a few weeks for the PGA Championship at Bellerevie.

If people are up for it, we can continue the "season-long chase for the DBR Cup" through the FedEx Cup playoffs. Or not.

Great work, Mr. Synellinden! I am sure Mrs. Synellinden was upset at you burning the midnight oil to get it all done, but we appreciate it.

I can't believe I did not grab the season-long lead from mkirsh. I mean, 1st, 2nd, 6th and I only gain $200k on him. Jeeze!

if Elvis14 had Molanari, Rory, Woods, Fleetwood, Fowler, Zach Johnson I would have expected them to finish ahead of me (I didn't have Woods or Johnson)?

[JasonEvans]

edit-- I just noticed that mkirsh beat me to recognizing this by a couple minutes, but I will leave my post up anyway.

My first attempt at this:

6 - Fowler
6 - Rory
5 - Fleetwood
5 - F.Molanari
4 - DeChambeau
2 - Tiger
2 - Zach Johnson

How did Elvis not beat me? We both had winner (Molinari), T2 (Rory and Rose), T6 (Woods), and T12 (Fleetwood). That is it for my team, but Elvis also has T17 (Zach J), and T51 (Dechambeau). I really think I lost by $136,000.

When I run the #s I have Elvis as the Champion Golf Picker of the Year with $3,269,768. I also get different #s for Mal but everything else checks out

[mr. synellinden]

Yes, it was late when I did this. I’ll redo it and update the totals.

I did say unaudited.

Thanks mkirsh and JE for catching the errors. i forgot to add in Rory for elvis14. And added a 0 to Fleetwood's total for Mal.
