PGA Championship: Rory McIlroy runs away with a major title for the second time in his short career.
The second half title goes to Rich, who scored 22 points this week, as he picked the winner for the fourth time in the last 5 weeks. Souptown scored 14 points to hold onto second over Ben.
For the full season, Souptown wins by 13 points. With 27 points this week, I edged Rich by 3 points for second place on the year.
Congratulations to all the winners and thanks to everyone for playing. I hope everyone enjoyed the season. Now it's time to start thinking football.

WGC- Bridgestone: After leading most of the tourney, Jim Furyk melted down for the second time this summer in big time events. Ben Johnshoy put up 30 points with all five picks in the top 25, including 1st and 2nd.
Looks like Souptown has wrapped up the full season as he sits 24 points out front. Rich and Souptown are tied for the second half with one week to go and Rich leads me by 2 in the full season standings. With Ben lurking in both the session and the full season. A few others are 20 or more points back and need a big time 30+ points week to have any hope.
Good luck,
Mack

RBC Canadian: Rich continues his great second half run with another 24 point week. Ben took second with 21 points.
Rich now leads the second half standings and sits 4 points out of second for the full season standings.
FYI- This week is the no-cut WGC-Bridgestone. If your guy hits his opening tee shot, you get two points, even if he WD's before the tourney ends.

British Open: Rich and Ben shared high score this week with 25 points. Kevin S totaled 21 points for third.

AT&T National: Tiger wins again and so does Souptown. Souptown wins this week with 20 points. If Adam Scott could have got his butt out of bed on Thursday, maybe I would have done better than second with 19 points.
Next week is the Greenbrier. Get your picks in early and have a Happy Fourth of July.

Travelers: Souptown and Kevin S win the week with 21 points. Souptown continues to dominate the second half and the full season races. AT&T National is the week.

US Open: 'If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.' This week Jerry started the same five guys as Souptown and they both tied for this week's high score of 23 points. Kevin H scored 21, and several others finished in the teens.
Souptown now has a big lead for the full season and the second half. Who's going to catch him at the wire this time? Travelers is this week. Good luck.
