At the beginning of the year I mentioned a contest when The Masters rolled around. I'm about to hop on a plane and short on time, so here it is in all its glory:

The contest is limited to the first 25 people who reply to this thread. Entering is uber simple: choose one golfer. If yours shoots the lowest 72-hole score out of all golfers selected, you take home a $100 BBCE gift card. In the case of a tie, low round wins. First come, first served when it comes to selections. Editing is frowned upon (the honor system, people), unless someone selects your guy seconds before you do. Pay close attention to who is off the board before you pull the trigger.

CONTEST CLOSED

mlbfan2 - Zach Johnson
Largentcollector - K.J. Choi
stown - Phil Mickelson
MGLICKER - Adam Scott
Cubby - Rory McIlroy
derryb - Ernie Els
WeekendHacker - Jason Dufner
greencrow - Bubba Watson
Barndog - Henrik Stenson
sparky64 - Matt Kuchar
SlugSports - Angel Cabrera
quincunx - Fred Couples

    My son put $10 on Blixt at 250-1. Looks like he's coming up a little short.

    Congratulations greencow.

    Thank you galaxy. That was fun.

    Another great Masters.

    Was hoping someone would put pressure on Bubba on the back nine, but he was nails anyway.

    It's only fitting that GREENcrow would win the Masters contest. He wears the GREEN jacket now as well as Bubba.image
