THE OPEN Championship 2017 Golf Contest

[yisman]

Snedeker withdrew on Wednesday, citing a rib injury that hadn't fulled healed. Hahn was the first alternate and replaced Snedeker.

[qwertvt]

No one is doing well. I have two or 3 that are under the cut line right now

Last time they played here (about 10 years ago), the winner was at -3.

I read somewhere that the cut line was + 10.

[yisman]

Last time they played here (about 10 years ago), the winner was at -3.

I read somewhere that the cut line was + 10.

2008 and 1998 the last two times they played at this course. Both of those tournaments were plagued by poor weather conditions.
The 2008 winner (Harrington) finished at +3, not -3.

The cut was at 149 (+9) and 83 advanced

In 1998 (Kuchar, Rose, and Garcia participated as amateurs), the winner (O'Meara) finished at even (tie at even, two man playoff). The cut line was +6.

fuk him

[qwertvt]

I am unclear on the exact wording here but the projected cut is 5.

5's make it through the next round.

[unde0087]

Ya, whatever the cut ends up as all those at that number or lower make the cut. The way the scores are soaring today I wouldn't be surprised if the cut ends up at 6 or 7 over.

[seaborneq]

Another great start for me. Can't wait for the fade.

[qwertvt]

I'm out but this one should be fun to follow.

I wish I knew the weather for tonight/tomorrow.

I want to bet the Field - anyone want to take SA?

No offense SA, this is strictly a degenerate wager.

[5mike5]

I didn't think I could do any worse than the US open golf contest. But unbelievably, I've topped that embarrassing performance. I don't know anything about golf but thought I guessed pretty good.

Guess not.

[yisman]

I also like the field here.

[funnyb25]

Hahahahahahah

ALL 7 of my guys made the cut and I am +17

[jjgold]

Watch out Rory

He is due

[qwertvt]

Watch out Rory

He is due

jj - You should enter the next contest. The next major is in August.

Great contest....One would think if all 7 players made the cut one would have a chance!!

All my guys tanked round 2 and made the cut

And still might finish last...

PGA Championship coming up men!

[seaborneq]

I'm curious about the scoring this time.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL WINNERS


-------------------------------------------------------------------------

[qwertvt]

I am glad nobody took me up on my proposed wager on the Field.

Congrats SA. Isn't this your 2nd win?

[funnyb25]

Thank you for the contest Spider!

[yisman]

congrats. Tight finish.

[spider]

Johnson +7 on final day killed a lot of entries.

[seaborneq]

White knuckler, ball buster, photo finish, close call, last second. What a contest. That's what you want

[seaborneq]

In both 2017 contests I have been in the top 3 after a couple of days, then all hell breaks and I am assed out. I have to choose some finishers and closers and not front runners

I want winners!!!!!!!!

[beavis13]

Great contest as always Spider.

[funnyb25]

Johnson +7 on final day killed a lot of entries.

Check out my players 2nd round

That killed me

+23 combined and still nearly made a run

[SharpAngles]

Great contest as always Spider.

Took the words out of my mouth

thanks Mr spider

[qwertvt]

Took the words out of my mouth

thanks Mr spider

SharpAngles - was this your second win?

On a different note:

I too would like to thank Spider for this and other golf contests as well.

[SharpAngles]

No this is my first outright win. I've chopped a few prizes but am probably barely break even over these contests. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while

[seaborneq]

Spider. What do you have in store for football season? This is a great concept of a contest, no salary cap needed. You can't load up on the top golfers and you can't take every long shot. You have to have a perfect mix to win, plus it gives the novice the same chance as the person who follows year round.

[unde0087]

Did I win?

there will be a few new football contests, including one similar to this one.

Great show!!
