Any interest in a MASTERS contest?

Rose missed the cut so he is tagged for 4 rounds at +8 (296) at least, but it will be more if the worst 4R score is greater than 296). I project the worst score at around +10 (298) so Rose's score would be +11. I refine this worst score projection as the 3rd and 4th round are played.

With a MC and only 2 MCs in the set of chosen golfers, you have virtually no chance at getting second.
That may be, but you dont double it yet, just like you dont double the players scores who are + but did make the cut. Same with Joe, if you're gonna double the bad scores, you'd have to double the good ones too, but that's ridiculous. As of now, joe is in 2nd place, not next to last.

You're not dead for sure, you survived two bad scores, theoretically if everyone doubled their current scores, you could survive the doubling of your bad ones. obviously someone might blow up on a hole and post a 10 and screw you with a penalty, but we dont know that.

Rose must have been -1000 to miss cut. I had a funeral to go to so I missed his last 5 holes, and think he made 3 bogeys, shocking.

I would need picks like Matsuyuma, Cantlay, Fitzgerald to finish at the bottom of board on Sunday to have any hope of 2nd place cash. So unlikely to happen. MC are a penalty against score as they should be.

It's a long shot, but look at it this way, you're guaranteed to lose 4 shots on rose and 5 on sneds, it's possible for those guys you listed to go +4-5(or greater) for the last 2 rounds.

All I need is for Hoffman and Grace to hit their stride and each shoot consecutive 62's.

I had Rose too, the only reason I picked him was because they all talked about how rock solid and steady he was. Whoops.

Meant to say Rose had to be -1000 to make cut.

Looks like Sunday’s play could get delayed into Monday.

I think somebody from the -7 group is going to shoot 67, won't be surprised to see -13 leading heading into Sunday.

Congrats TryTryTry Masters contest winner, nice job.

TieBreaker for 2nd, both WACO #1 & ttaylor89 had 275 as tiebreaker so will split 2nd place. Brayden tied for 2nd but eliminated on tiebreaker.

I'll wait for ComPTR Bob to verify, will get money out tonight.

I match your results except for your score. ChiTownJoe = 1992, -24 under par (Group D: Finau at 277 instead of 284).

Best possible score was a 1948, -68 under par.

Great tourney, Francesco shooting at pin on 12 cost him tourney. I think if Tiger had honors, it might have changed the whole tourney. You can't go after that pin with the lead. Then Francesco collapsed on 15, what a mistake on his 3rd shot.

Very strange, I cut and pasted the picks from your post and got all the 14 entries correct except your Group D pick. It is virtually impossible to insert another golfer in the middle the text. I suspect your post was edited later by JK or another moderator (for which the edit doesn't show up).

Like DeChambeau myself but haven't followed closely. Looks like Tiger is about to win.
