Roto Golf Final WriteUp 9/17/07

Tiger blew away the field yesterday, and in so doing, he won the Tour Championship, the Fed Ex Cup, and another skin for Hans. Andy's trade of Tiger will go down in CyberZahm history as the biggest bonehead move of all time. Not only did it cost Andy a Major skin, but it cost him a number of weekly skins, and a second place finish (more on that below).

Low team score at the TC was Al's 45, followed closely by Fox's Phucks at 61, and my Skins at 80. Once again, a tournament with just a few players did not produce the low team score for the year. As I've said many times, in the decade plus that we've been doing the low team score bet there has only been one year when that score came from a small field. That's why we include *all* events in the low team score bet.

As Fox wrote last week, my Skins captured the crown for the second year in a row before the TC started. Fox beats Andy for second place by 5 points. If Andy had Tiger's first place finish rather than Scott's 26th place finish, he'd have taken second place. Hans takes fourth place, and Al's Balls used a late season surge to move from the basement to the final money spot. Jack's free fall from first place a couple of months ago sees him drop all the way to sixth place. Sobo is everyone's girlfriend.

No surprises this year in terms of the sums of money won. The first five finishers finished in the money while Jack and Sobo threw the party. Jack's bill covers the chips and dip. Unfortunately for him, Sobo has to pay for the booze and the hookers. For the first year that I can remember, there were no surprises where a lower finishing guy ended up making more money than someone in front of him. Most won through most lost was one through seven. So, the draft position selection order for the 2008 draft will be:

Sobo, Jack, Al, Hans, Andy, Fox, Gabes

Congrats to all of the winners, and better luck next year to Jack and Sobo. I liked the shorter season this year. Eight and a half months is a long enough golf season in my book. It all begins again on December 26th with the 2008 draft. The draft position selection process will start the Monday after Thanksgiving (November 26th). There's plenty of time for study this year.
