    The Open

    No talk? It starts at 2 A.M. Eastern tomorrow. Does the time difference kill the buzz?

    Whoops, I think I was supposed to pick the format. [emoji849][emoji51]

      The [British] Open - Pick 'Em Contest

      Okay, here's the format.

      Pick 4 golfers from any age group, any strata in the OWGR. No alternates for missing the cut.

      Pick 1 golfer from the OWGR Top 30 that you think will MISS the cut. The number of strokes that he missed the cut by will be subtracted from your total score. For example, if my combined 4 golfers finish at -20, and I picked Chez Reavie to miss the cut and he does so by 2 strokes, then my final score would be -22.

      The Open Field: https://www.pgatour.com/tournaments/...hip/field.html

      OWGR: http://www.owgr.com/ranking

      Make sure to cross reference the top 30 OWGR with the Field so that you don't pick someone who isn't playing this week. However, I think the Top 30 are all there.

                I figured this approach was as good as any.

                  Misses the cut - Bubba Watson I'm not sure why he even goes over to play unless Ping puts it in the contract.

                    That's a better pick than mine on the cut. I had to double check to see if he was still in the top 30.

                            Maybe I should have picked Rory to miss the cut.

                              I so badly wanted to pick Tiger for missing the cut but I thought don't do it, that's just your heart talking.
