Wild Card Suresh, is kicking some serious a$$ !!

Top seeds (Kujo, Ajay, Kumar and Atithee) need to post by 12 noon Wednesday.  The remaining contestants should pick based on Kumar's rules quoted below:

Person entering the pick 'second' has to enter at least three unique picks when compared to his opponent who picked first.

So If I am entering second and you have already chosen Tiger, VJ, ELS, Goose and Phil (for example), I can only chose two from the above list.

cheers

Should I wait for Kumar to post the picks or can I go ahead with mine?

[jaydeep]

Sandeep, u need to wait until Kumar post his picks as per our Playoff contest rule.

Top seeds (Kujo, Ajay, Kumar and Atithee) need to post by 12 noon Wednesday.

That means we can post our picks on Thrusday morning from India.

[Kumar]

For Last two weeks all our contestants picked Tiger.. So I would like to suggest that none of us be allowed to pick 'Tiger' this week.

[suresh]

For Last two weeks all our contestants picked Tiger.. So I would like to suggest that none of us be allowed to pick 'Tiger' this week.

Logically, that is the same as all players picking Tiger. So let someone stick their neck out 

[jaydeep]

Agree with Suresh, if someone wants to do 'out of box' thinking then he is welcome.

[ajay]

Congratulations Suresh! You have been the dark horse and you proved it once again as you made a nice comeback from behind  in the 4th round for a very close, pulsating and thrilling victory. 
Just look at the cumulative scores for the 4 rounds, how the fortunes changed hands.
Ajay    40  92  148  208
Suresh  36  96  144  210

Congratulations to Kujo, Atithee  and JAydeep too for their victories. And thanks to Athithee and Kujo for scoring. I think the Playoff is rocking!

[BSharma]

Congratulations to all the participants of the golf contest since all of them are winners and the only loser is the one who stayed away from the contest.

My two picks from the last tournament are eliminated. So I'm retaining the three picks from last week and adding Boo and Tim to make the five.

1   Tiger Woods
5   K.J. Choi
12   Zach Johnson  
22   Boo Weekley
27   Tim Clark

PKB will be a tough challenge for me. He may be spending less than 2 minutes for picking his players, but he has Midas touch.
