FINAL
58 of 530 entrants advanced their full roster to the weekend, including the Top 8 and 24/42 on the leaderboard. No one in the Top 45 had more than one MC. JJSxPEP (DFL) suffered the most MCs with just one golfer playing the weekend.
All 11 golfers who were selected 100x or more made the cut, which means we had far more golfers playing the weekend this time around. Out of 3,180 total picks just 849 MC'd, compared to 1,198 at the US Open and a whopping 1,529 at the PGA Championship. And for a change, the per column numbers followed a sensible pattern with very few in Column 1 and each column increasing until serious damage in Column 6.
All things considered, Scott was the biggest DUD. 89 entrants wasted 46 points for a +9.
Li burned us, finishing t4 but irrelevant since no one picked him.
Top 150 in Cup advance to Playoffs. We get two weeks off, then 3 straight weeks of Playoff events.
