Everybody made their picks this week...which is a plus...only KenniS1 hasn't made a bonus pick up to this point. 

Been seriously considering changing Dubuisson...but I'll stick with the Frenchie!

Great 1st round! I am not exactly the fan of Rory but really needs him this week lol... 

Some people in serious trouble here (Luiten, Cabrera) but everything can change fast tomorrow with the forecast pretty bad for the morning... looks like the today´s morning tees will get the best weather both days...

Small MC list this week...but with Rory running away with it just about and the potential for wind/rain tomorrow it could be a big swing for those guys.

Just an idea CMJ... What about we pick 3 golfers for each round (week) during the playoffs? Thats 4 weeks 12 players isnt that much...

Not a bad idea...but with the scoring system and limited amount of players at the end I think it would kill the drama heading into the final Tour Championship week.

I was thinking of limiting it to one player per week for the head to head matchups in the playoffs...that way if someone picked a MC it would be more open to an upset.

I'm open to any ideas however, and if the majority thinks this is better...I"m all for it.

For instance right now it would be...

#1 WVUtime15  (+2)  vs.  #16 BlueJay12_SVK  (+32)
#2 clepto  (+4)  vs.  #15 ohboyjjf  (+30)
#3  alangrrbs  (+6)  vs  #14  CMJohnson1  (+28)

and so on and so forth...

I think if you add in more players it just makes it so that a MC isn't as hurtful to the higher ranked seeds.

I'm trying to make it as interesting as possible, with the top seeds having an advantage for their great regular season performance, but also on their toes as well

Also...for the playoffs you will all be private messaging me your picks for the week.

If there is a duplicate pick in a matchup, the higher seed will get "dibs" on that pick, and I will PM the lower seed to have them change it.
