Yessir! Still bleary eyed from last week but wouldn’t miss it
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" 10: Jon Rahm - 10; Justin Thomas - 8; 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).
Deadline to submit picks is Wednesday at midnight.
Good luck
