Time for round three of the 2015 Grand Slam Contest. This contest will run through the 2015 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.


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 16th.

Thanks again for doing this Sleepy. And damn, when has Shane Lowry ever been less than 100 points? He was going to be 1 of my value picks, and now he's at 33. I've been trying to pick guys I've at least kinda liked recently, but Fowler and his wardrobe are awfully enticing. If he's going to win a major or 2, it's going to be the Open, and he's hot.
 
In. I think this is the first year that I have remembered the first three tourneys. Let's GO! Great value for Haas at 150.

Yes. Many times, although we eventually settled on some other local watering holes to avoid the tourists. I believe The Keys was our favorite.
 
J. Spieth - 0
D. Johnson - 12
P. Reed - 50
B. Koepka - 50
R. Streb - 150
K. Streelman - 150
TOTAL: 412


Looking good so far:
Streb: -6
DJ: -6
Spieth: -6
Koepka: -2
Reed: +2
Streelman: +5

Went for the reverse jinx and didn't take Spieth. Hope it works.
 
dunvegan just got a nice shout out
 
team cville

12 DJ
18 Fowler
50 Walker
50 Koepka
125 Luiten
150 Knox

Almost replace Walker & Koepka with Casey & Dubuisson but didn't because Dubuisson is playing his 5th tournament in 5 weeks. Chose Knox over Levy, and that's looking wrong. Dunno what's up with Luiten after a great showing last week. Thought he was the best bet over 100.
