Chad Ramey sinks an amazing ace on 13 at the Players Championship
- At least one of my golfers provided some excitement for me today, although he also bogeyed thrice on the back 9.

Cheers Phil - it will take 3 consecutive holes-in-one for Aberg to keep it alive now.

I keep loads of statistics on these things as they all stay in the spreadsheet. Its taken me 14 attempts to finally win one - I thought I was going to be the Colin Montgomerie of the forum.

See you all at the Masters, I promise to keep it simple and lets see if we can get more entries than ever before.

Some stats:

The cheapest possible team that still beat my winning score of -18 (using the Best 3 rule).
  • Sudarshan Yellamaraju ($2) — Score: -9
    Jacob Bridgeman ($8) -9
    Robert MacIntyre ($30) -10
    Alex Noren ($1) -2
    Taylor Moore ($1) +1
    Max Homa ($1) -2
    Total Cost: ($43)
Score -28

This squad managed to get all 6 through and scored -21
  • Ludvig Åberg ($50) -9
    Brooks Koepka ($20) -6
    Corey Conners ($20) -6
    Bud Cauley ($4) -2
    Alex Noren ($1) -2
    Max Homa ($1) -2
    Total Cost: ($97)
Score -21

The "Perfect Squad" could have featured the top two - there was enough budget and you'd have $5 left.
  • Matt Fitzpatrick ($50) -12
    Cameron Young ($40) -13
    Sudarshan Yellamaraju ($2) -9
    Alex Noren ($1) -2
    Max Homa ($1) -2
    Taylor Moore ($1) +1

    Total Cost: $95
Final Score (Best 3): -34

As always, thanks Mike. I will be in bed recovering for 7-10 weeks from the hardware store rejects they installed in my ankle, so I will get my picks in on time.
