Apparently so did the mods, unless cinci put it in the Saloon.

Yeah, good work Howell.

I had Rodgers and Howell live by the time they finished 18, but lost some nibbling on Champ over a few days.

i accidently started in the saloon

This is now the 19th consecutive year that Charles Howell III has made at least $1 Million dollars in prize money on the PGA Tour, and 17 of the 19 years he won at least $1.4 million. He may not win very often, and is about as anonymous as a top golfer can be, but that's some serious high level consistency to not only play that well for 19 years in a row, but to avoid any major injuries as well. Actually, I have no idea if that's some sort of record (and I'm not going to research it), but I don't know of many golfers that went 19 years in a row winning at least $1 million in prize money. $37 million in prize money (and a few endorsements on top of that) is a pretty good haul for a 20 year career. He's now 20th all time in PGA Tour earnings.

I thought this was the guy from The Outsiders but apparently he's C Thomas Howell

I'll move this to PT for you cinci

[Inspirited]

so did SBR actually give this guy as an option to bet on this tournament? I was thinking I won my field bet, but it's graded as a loss.

i'm sure he was listed prob around 25-1 to 40-1 it was a pretty weak field

[KVB]

Yeah, he was about 40-1 pre tournament.

That's two weeks in a row the first round leader won the tournament, granted last week it was a share of the lead after round one.

It makes a difference but rare nonetheless.

I had Champ and Rodgers pretty big by the end. I even had Webb live.

I chose to let Howell beat me because of the rarity of 1st round leaders winning, and when he lost the lead I though I had it made.



Rodgers sets a 36 hole PGA Tour record but Howell's feat is also very rare, just not talked about on TV.

That's because understanding the reason why it's rare gives you an edge betting golf.

There, I've given the Forum a bone regarding betting Golf.

PGA incredibly hard now to in 1 event per year

[LindaDutton]

I know how hard it is to win but congrats them to achieve this. For me, it's quite difficult to have it or to take participate in it but its ok to be.
