No, Martin Kaymer won.

So did I win?

@TEA Time hasn't posted the results yet...but I'm pretty sure you did. The top 10 isn't what we thought it was going to be.

Tea, shouldn't ties get the same # of points?

 

[TEA Time]

Tea, shouldn't ties get the same # of points?

Nope.

Same ol' rules:

A note about scoring and any ties....
Scoring is calculated form the leaderboard on the PGA Tour website. I count ONLY the first 10 positions. In other words, if there are 3 people tied for 3rd they are counted as 3rd, 4th and 5th place. I hope that is perfectly clear...

 

[TEA Time]

Those rules go back to before I was even here.

 

[TrickyPutt]

So inside the tie its alphabetical?

 

[MCDavis]

Nope.

I read that before I asked, but I took it to mean that you only counted the top 10 for points. Didn't take it to mean that the guys tied for second would get a different number of points. You follow what I'm asking?

I looked back at the 2012 thread and it was done the same way.

I think we had some discussion about this last time. It's not a perfect scoring system, but it's easy and there's no dispute when it comes to points.
Top ten listed on the PGA website = 10 to 1 points in that order.

 

[TrickyPutt]

Oh dear. Tradition has reared its ugly head.

 

[TEA Time]

Maybe this edit will make it clear:

THE FIRST ten listed on the PGA website = 10 to 1 points in that order.

 

[MCDavis]

Maybe this edit will make it clear:

See my other post. I understood it, just didn't remember it being that way until I checked the 2012.

 

[TEA Time]

Yeah, I edited that post to clarify for everyone because after I read it I realized that TOP ten listed can be read differently than FIRST ten listed. "First ten" makes more sense to me.

Yep, I can see that.

OK ... I concede, Chris Berman makes me miss Johnny Miller.

You're in luck for next year... and every year:
