It should be obvious, but if your top four picks are the top four best scorers of all the players we've selected, you win the pool. LLCoolG is currently in that position.

Jim has three of the top four. However, his fourth best player is Justin Rose at -5, where LLCoolG has Hatton at -8 and MacIntyre at -6... which means Rose needs to vault over both these guys tomorrow. Bill has a shot if Schauffele -7 and Harman -6 can overtake McIlroy and Hatton at -8 each.

I only have a shot if I can cheat. Given this contest is more of a marathon than a sprint, and given a blood test is not part of the rules, I've started taking steroids. If I do win, of course I was joking and I deny ever saying this.
