US Masters predictions competition

Final scores

Congratulations to Bruce who is our first Major predictions champion.

His inspired pick of Angel Cabrera in Group 4 kept him ahead of Matthew and Ben W. (A Warr clean sweep of the podium!)

Here's how it finished

1 - Bruce (144) - Got all his players into the weekend and four in the top 25
2 - Matthew (167) - Picked Scott and Garcia but Graeme McDowell a let-down
3 - Ben W (172) - Also picked the winner and Tiger Woods but Louis Oosthuizen was the flop
4 - Kevin (202) - Good selection with Jason Day, not so good Mickelson and Keegan Bradley
4 - Simon (202) - Woods and Snedeker did good work, Oosthuizen and Bubba much less so
6 - Paul (282) - Woods saved a complete meltdown!
7 - Ben F (285) - Only Furyk was a top 25 finisher for Ben



After Round 3 update.

A few of us dodged the Woods DQ bullet but Bruce now appears to be in the driving seat due to his inspired Cabrera pick. All his selections are currently in the top 30.

Kevin also got all of his players into the weekend and has a shout for low points with Jason Day but Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley are letting his side down.

Simon has lost Louis Oosthuizen but can't be completely ruled as he is the only one with Brandt Snedeker playing for him.


After the cut update

Here are the players who won't be taking part at the weekend.

McDowell 62 pts (Matthew)
Oosthuizen 71 pts (Paul, Ben W, Simon)
Poulter 72 pts (Paul, Ben F)
Colsaerts 72 pts (Paul)

Only Bruce and Kevin get all their players into the final rounds.
