2019 Masters Contest
Okay, you know the rules. But in case you don’t, see below. Picks due by Wed. midnight ET.
Good luck all.
Here are the rules:
1. You have thirty OWGR "points" to spend on picking a team.
2. You can pick any player in the field - it's not a draft, so in theory you could have the exact same team as someone else.
3. You can pick up to 10 players, not more.
4. Each player's "cost" is their OWGR points total rounded down. So, Dustin Johnson "costs" 9; Justin Thomas - 8; Bubba Watson - 4 (as of today); etc.
5. Anyone whose OWGR points is less than 2, costs 2. In other words, no player in the field costs less than 2.
6. Your final score is based on a total of the money won by all the players on your team. If one of your players misses the cut, you get 0 for that player.
7. As a tiebreaker, you also pick the winning score relative to par (e.g., -12).
11:59 pm ET Wednesday deadline for submitting picks.

You'll have to create a username, give your email address, etc. standard stuff. I hope Tripping William (at least) will play.
I'll join the pool here, just need to read the rules. I generally do awful in golf pools for absolutely no good reason;)
I've looked at the rules and the world rankings and have formulated an abysmal team. While doing so, I'm watching the replay of the Texas Open from today to see S.W. Kim just make a hole-in-one to take a 3 shot lead. AWESOME!!!

1. Rickie Fowler - 5
2. Tommy Fleetwood - 5
3. Xander Schauffele - 5
4. Jason Day - 4
5. Bubba Watson - 4
