2015 Masters - You Pick 'Em Game - All things Masters

[clackamascoug]

Masters 2015

Welcome to the 6th Annual Masters U-Pick-'Em Game

Another year has gone by and we're all still here. I guess there are worse things.

I started this a little early to see if we had any suggestions from the group at large for a fun and different format. If a few of you would proffer a format we'll try and lock Something down by Monday night, and we can pick our teams before Thursday tee off. If nobody comes forward I'll come up with something interesting.

To kick things off, here's a 2012 Master Highlight

[Donuthole]

Here's my proposal:

Pick six players, total:
two from the top 15 OWGR;
two from 16-40; and
two from 41+.

Drop the two worst scores and tally up the remaining four.

Luke Donald's fallen that far? Wow. That's a good pick. His game doesn't shape up as well for the Master's though.

I thought the same. His game has fallen off of late and previous Master's results would seem to contradict the logic in picking him but he is among my favorite golfers currently playing so I picked him.
