Toms 7th
Goosen 3rd
Cink mc

My luck is definitely turning on this Tour ... for the second straight week a matchup opponent closes with a NINE to miss the cut and hand over victory. Cink should have lost and Perry was tied with Sabbatini until that last hole. Very strange. Very good position in the outrights and so long as Sutton makes up the one-shot deficit to Westwood, this could be an extremely good event.

Final update:

May/Paulson LOST by 4

Sutton/Westwood LOST by 4

Outrights: 1-2; +14.80 units

Toms 12th
Goosen 1st

Disappointing performance over the weekend in the matchups, but did little to spoil a spectacular week. Goosen had a difficult start to his final round, but Mickelson just failed to exert any pressure on the South African once he had regained the lead by eagling the 4th. Lefty's failing once again prove profitable
