That seems like 10. lol

Top one is my picks if the 3 contestants (you are one of them) in front of me don't want any of them.
2nd choice (labeled 2nd choices) are back ups from each column mostonmike provided.
XpertDBA, baller and you can legally choose any or all from my two lists.
I will gladly and willingly pick more if you want any of those. Please! Take mine.
Somebody, and I'm not an Xpert, had to get the baller bouncing so the train can keep on rolling.
The selection timeline is pretty compressed; we could end up with only 5 or 6 participants. It's more fun with a dirty dozen.

Those 10 guys are all tainted now that you have picked them so how am I supposed to pick them!??!!? lol

Maybe that was the plan all along.
All I can think of right now is that 1981 song by Soft Cell, "Tainted Golf".

Cheers baller, that might look complicated but it's really, really helpful

In the interests of "be sensible" - here's the situation.

Lets give XpertDBA until around 2pm PDT (as that's 10pm here in UK) - if he's not picked, he will be allocated the top player in each group.

So....

XpertDBA (if no response by 2pm PDT) gets

Scottie Scheffler
Justin Thomas
J.J Spaun
Akhshay Bhatia
Nick Taylor

That would mean, baller takes

Rory McIlroy
Hideki Matsuyama
Cameron Smith
Corey Conners
Sahith Theegala


And Darren would be next pick from this lot...... Darren, just hang on until 2pm in case Xpert gets back to us......

TLO Idaho and Bil522 are next to pick. Hopefully the list is now up to date above.

Bil, maybe pick your 1st and 2nd choice so we can keep the line moving but we are now well ahead of schedule

Thanks everyone...
