Time for the third phase of the 2013 Grand Slam Contest. This contest runs through the 2013 season, and a winner will crowned at the end of the season. You get bonus points for participation so be sure to submit an entry for each Major.

High Right won the The Masters and Les Grosman won the U.S. Open.

THE Open Championship; don't call it the British Open

FORMAT:Listed below are most of the golfers participating in the The Open Championship. You need to pick 6 of them with a total value of 400 or more. Pick carefully - your team will end up "missing the cut" if more than two of your golfers miss the cut in the event! To make your selections, send me a PM with the golfers' names and point values.

SCORING:Your score will be the aggregate of your best four golfers. Since you have to have at least four scores counting, if more than two of your golfers miss the cut, so does your team. There are also "bonus points" at the end of the tournament. If you've got the champion golfer on your team, it's -5. The runner-up gets you -3, and having the third-place golfer gets you -1 off your score.

DEADLINE:All entries must be sent to me by 1:30 AM Thursday, July 18th.

Team Cville in. Usually take a couple of long shots and 4 favorites, but I'm not high on that many of the favorites in this 1. Also took no US players.
 
Massive amount of suckers. Back in a couple of days.
 
Posrep to Sleepy for running this.

I feel like I have just as good a chance picking a team of all 150s as I do picking some of the favorites.

Hence Lawrie, Hamilton, Curtis and Clarke winning it and Watson at 60 almost winning it. Lesser names have a better chance here than at the other majors. And this year seems more wide open with Tiger coming off injury and Rory playing like shite.

I think in general you're right, although the PGA has a lot of first-time major champions, and Lucas Glover and Michael Campbell have both won the US Open relatively recently.

Last year's top 6 was Els, Scott, Snedeker, Tiger, McDowell and Donald. That's pretty strong.
 
Really like my team. One 150-point guy & one American on it. All others under 100-points. Looking forward to getting around Deacman5 and opening up a lead in the overall race with one to go.

Speaking of Deacman5 -- I think he is trolling us, he submitted a team with only 4 players (but was over 400 points).
 
In at 405......I hope Tiger does better than Scott.....and Carl Petersson doesn't do that well.
 
Not picking Tiger for the first time in a while, so he's a lock to win.
