Please change Harrington to Els...

I just turned on the tube and it's already well underway...Harrington is in, so I'll stick with him (although Els is looking strong and I'd like a piece of him...)

Harrington is playing well so far too.

[HackBlack]

32 entries
52 different players chosen

3 players on more than 10 entries:
22 Garcia (Group A)
20 Westwood (Group B)
15 Jimenez (Group B)

14 different players picked to win:
11 Garcia
3 Westwood, Jimenez, Scott
2 Els, Kim
1 Rose, Leonard, Romero, Furyk, Mickelson, Monty, Ogilvy, Ames

Top 2 selections for each group:
Group A: Garcia (22), Els (8)
Group B: Westwood (20), Jimenez (15)
Group C: Poulter (7), Goosen (7) , Appleby (7)

In Group A every player was selected at least once except for KJ Choi (and Donald)
In Group B every player was selected at least once except for Angel Cabrera.
In Group C 26 different players were selected.

Some surprising selections or non-selections, however you want to view it:
Harrington - 1 entry
Singh - 1 entry
Cink - 1 entry
Monty - 1 pick to win (1st round 73. NICE!)

Note: This is not official. Wazmankg will keep all scoring.

[Wazmankg]

and the 1st round results won't be ready until much later this evening. I'll get the rest out quicker. I was very surprised to see that no one picked KJ or Cabrera... Donald not so much. And Phil only getting 1 nod surprised me.. but it looks as if most knew what they were doing there.

What are you talking about? Phil is eliciting plenty shakes of the head latley...

[JungleJ]

Looks like BigV dodged a bullet by keeping Padraig - Els blew up on the back nine...

I hear ya. I didn't put him on my GRW team either. In fact, I'm in 4 different Open contests and I have him on only one of those teams, and that team is in the least rewarding contest. The same team that I put Phil on, also has Singh and Mahan. Nice grouping.
