We find ourselves already at the 2nd major of the year. With it comes the trial and tribulations of another M7. For at least the next 24 hours you will believe you have picked the winning combo. Spoiler Alert: For the vast majority of you - you haven't. But for now bask in the 'glory' of the fact that maybe, just maybe this is your time!
Full picks in the email I sent and can be seen by going to https://m7golf.wixsite.com/m7golf/leaderboard.
Any objections please raise before the US PGA tees off. N.B. "My picks are sh*t" is not a valid objection - that is your own fault
There are 100 of us going for the big prizes (+ our good friends Control and Wisdom)
Prizes (TBC)
1st - S$5000
2nd - S$2800
3rd - S$1600
Best of Rest (<5 make cut) - S$600
Immediately out of the running are Michael 'Shin' Fein and Katy 'Pumpy' Mclean who didn't submit in time. Also out of the running is last years US PGA champion John 'Balsa' Wood (no one successfully defends an M7 championship) and Darren 'Little Plum' Robinson (no one wins back to back M7s)
90 different players picked which is 58% of the field involved in M7 in some way! That's quite low, so it could be fairly bunched. In fact it is actually 88 valid players as Mickelson and Willett are not playing this weekend. Quite spectacularly Ben 'Emma' Dale has both in his 7, so he is playing M5. What is even more amusing is he didn't have either in his 7 until his latest entry out of the 3 he did. Good luck Emma! Apart from Emma it is some pretty solid picking from the rest of you as everyone else has 7 valid picks except Chris 'Flamingo' Kiernan who put 26th ranked Tyrrell Hatton in his 31-40 category. Flamingo starts with 6 The most popular pick is Corey Connors (46) with Scheffler and Lowry (41) not far behind.
Other picks above 20 are:
Bradley (36)
Matsuyama (33)
Fleetwood (28)
Xander (27)
DJ (25)
Zalatoris (22)
11 of you have the most popular 3 all in your team (Connors, Scheffler, Lowry)
3 of you have the most popular 5 all in your team (Connors, Scheffler, Lowry, Bradley, Matsuyama). Impressively that includes Ben 'Emma' Dale who as we know has 2 non-runners as his other 2.
In terms of unique picks the 1-10 category has Hovland as a unique and Sam Burns. We had 17 valid unique picks in all and 2 of you have 2 of them in your team. Hats off to you David 'Wayne' Kerr (Burns and Fox) and Ben 'Proper Chopper' Harris (Bryson and Kirk) .Will this make the difference? No, no it won't EDIT: Bryson now pulled out Not surprisingly Tiger is the highest ranked OWGR player Fastest finger - Well done Marcus 'Eric' Barstow Most entries - Daniel 'Snake' Martin with 5 Leaving it to last minute - Matthew 'Beevower' Price and Darren 'Wedge' Heal with 70 mins to spare Live m7 scoring will be up and running tomorrow after tee off on https://m7golf.wixsite.com/m7golf
27 is the M7 record score to beat - set at the Masters last year by Matthew 'Beevower' Price but of course lets not forget the best record of the lot - John 'Cliff' Talbot Snr’s even more incredible record of 500 pts which surely can't be beaten at a masters event with only 91 runners
Reminder - You can't win M7 on the first day but you sure as hell can lose it - Alastair 'Baloney' Loney
