OK OK OK. I'll run the contest. I will be out of the country beginning Saturday, so don't expect regular updates. I will share the usual Live Updating Spreadsheet, so everyone can keep track of progress.


Time for round two 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.

WakeDeke05 won the Masters. Full Masters' results

THE U.S. Open, 'Meruca's Championship.

FORMAT: Listed below are most of the golfers participating in the The U.S. Open. 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 10:00 AM Thursday, June 18th.

THANKS SLEEPY! One question about the top players. Rory and Jordan are listed at 7 and 8? I'll gladly take them at that but I feel like that's a typo.
 
In at 400.

Thanks, Sleepy.

Edit - And here they are:

Phil Mickelson 16
Rickie Fowler 18
Jim Furyk 33
Jimmy Walker 33
Darren Clarke 150
Victor Dubuisson 150

Total: 400

In at 403. My low point value guys better play well, otherwise...I'm TOAST!
 
Tiger at 50 points is a joke, he should be in the 150 group the way he's playing.

As of Tuesday, Tiger had attracted the fifth most wagers to win the tournament at the SuperBook. Only eight fewer tickets had been written on Woods than on favorite Rory McIlroy. Among the donations to the SuperBook was a $500 bet on Woods at 50-1.

It just shows the power of his name and it's a credit to him for being as great as he once was, but the issues he's having right now is not what you want to show up at a US Open with. When Jack won the 86 Masters it was a surprise, but Jack's game wasn't in shambles like Wood's is now, if Tiger would win this weekend it would be one of the most unreal stories in a long time.
 
Tiger is fortunate they're playing the Open at Chambers Bay. He can use his putter and Texas wedge it around the greens. Although that won't help him out of the bunkers, so maybe we'll see a Hitler or Saddam or 2.

If the course plays hard and fast it could help him to not have to hit driver that much as well. If he could get the stinger going and get 50 plus yard roll outs then driver isn't needed, at least on the holes there's not a forced carry. I'm not familiar with that course though, so I'm not sure if there are a lot of forced carries to the fairways.
 
In at 408 I believe. My entire team could miss the cut or all finish in the top 20. No clue. So many 150s that I absolutely nothing about
