OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP Pool 2011

Major #3 of the year starts on Thursday. Same rules apply as before:

1. $10 per guy to enter (1 entry per guy max)
2. Pick 1 golfer from each tier for a 5 man team
3. Winner is the guy with the 5 man team that makes the most prize money
4. Tiebreaker is the top score for your 5th tier player
5. Get me your picks and $$$ by Wednesday night or early THUR morning. This one starts much earlier on THUR than the Masters or US Open, so the timing will be a little limited for getting your picks in on time.
