Here’s the final ladder. A tight finish, with two tipsters tied for first place. My guess is that normal countback rules apply, where the last round is used to break a tie.

Under those rules, JasonP is the champ, finishing on +5, and an excellent -4 for the last round.

Stuart Appleby 73 68 72 69 +2
Charles Howell III 75 70 72 71 +8
Ernie Els 72 68 69 66 -5

It was the Big Easy that delivered the trophy to JP, with a fine 66 to close including 6 birdies. This covered up for Chuck Howell’s forgettable tournament, failing to break par on any round.

Runner-up: watto17 (+5)

Adam Scott 72 68 70 72 +2
Boo Weekley 76 69 65 71 +1
Justin Rose 70 73 70 69 +2

Unlucky not to win, Watto’s picks all finished on respectable scores, although Boo Weekley was up and down and only barely made the cut at all. He was also (partly) responsible for Garcia’s undignified exit after the 3rd round. (Boo, not Watto.)

Third place: muntz (+7)

Geoff Ogilvy 69 68 74 69 Ev
Steve Stricker 77 68 69 71 +5
KJ Choi 71 71 68 72 +2

A brave effort from the tipping organiser, but in the end Stricker’s opening 77 derailed the entry.

Honourable Mention:
Tai – plucking John Senden out to be the best Aussie at -1 and T4 for the tournament.
Gripnrip and Stretch for managing to DQ after the third round for submitting an incorrect score card.

Naga:
brentp at +45 – Basically derailed by Bubba’s 79 79 double blowout which counted for +36. Over two rounds, Bubba could only manage 14 pars, and racked up 11 bogeys, 3 dbls, a triple and a quadruple bogey to boot.

Thanks for everyone who managed to submit a valid entry. Some prizes may be forthcoming… Full ladder follows.

Go Sendo is all I can say..Can’t see Tiger having sword fights in the last round but golf is a strange game!

Topic: ISG PGA Championship Tipping Comp

Despite making my best attempt to trash talk my way out of the competition, I’m still hanging onto 2nd place. Ogilvy’s +4 was compensated by Choi’s -2 and Stricker’s -1.

The big winner was watto17 who rode Boo’s 65 from 5th to 1st place. Scott had an eagle and two birdies to finish even for the day, while Rose had 6 birdies (!!!) and a quadruple bogey (!!!) on the third to also finish even and +3 overall.

JasonP is hanging on to third place after Apples and Chuck both shot 72s. Given the top three tipsters don’t have any players in common, it’s likely the lead will get swapped around during the final round.

As already indicated, Gripnrip and Stretch are both DQed. For shame fellas.

Apart from Sergio’s DQ, the big story of the day was Boo Weekley’s 65 (he three putted the 18th). Nathan Green shot 67 to get back to even, Choi had a 68, Senden, Els and Stricker had 69s. Bad days? Lefty shot a 75 to get out to +7, Goosen and Geoff Ogilvy both shot +4.

Here are the standings for players that made the cut:

AU: Senden -2, Scott N Green Ev, Ogilvy +1, Appleby +3, R Green +5, O’Hern Pamps +6.

US: Weekley Ev, Cink Stricker +4, Mahan Toms +6, Lefty Howell +7

Don’t look now Gripnrip / Big Stretch but Sergio just walked smack bang into a light pole… Sergio DQ

It’s curtains for both of you…

muntz no probs mate I know you don;t expect it at all

You would think so as the largest golf site in the Southern Hemisphere but unfortunately not. It would be about 2 years since we have been given something outside of the prizes on the site.

Crazy stuff I know….probably all sitting in the Golf Digest offices I’d say ;)

Topic: ISG PGA Championship Tipping Comp

Its a tight battle at the top. Go Green!

Topic: ISG PGA Championship Tipping Comp

Three cheers for Admin !!

Didn’t want this to become a drama though, with all those D2 ads all over the site I assumed you might have a few boxes lying around. No probs either way, honestly.

Topic: ISG PGA Championship Tipping Comp

muntz – more than happy to go out and buy some prizes for the winners.

Despite what everyone probably thinks we rarely get anything given to us to giveaway so the prize cupboard is non-existent.

Email us when you’re ready and we can discuss further.

Topic: ISG PGA Championship Tipping Comp

Read ‘em and weep fellas. Longnstraight is leading the Naga title with +44, and only has Mahan left as a live pick. BrentP is second last despite having only one pick miss the cut, but that pick was Bubba who gets marked down for a +36… ouch. rebjon and JasonP are giving Muntz a run for his money at +6. Muntz and JasonP finished second and third in the British, so should both now be elevated to Tipping Guru status. Andre_W’s win is looking more like a fluke now, although his left field Nathan Green pick is coming good.

Now lads, no need to get stroppy, this is supposed to be fun and games remember. If the ISG kitty is empty, so be it…

It may be the Tiger Woods show at Southern Hills but in the ISG tipping comp it’s Muntz that is dominating (yeah, baby…) With Ogilvy and Stricker both posting -2 in the second round (Stricker just making the +5 cut line) the Munster has lifted to head the ISG field heading into the weekend. The news was not so good for a lot of other tipsters with Badds.com missing the cut at +7. Furyk also fell on the wrong side of the line at +6, but the real train wrecks were Bubba (+18), Tim Clark (+14), Romero (+13), DiMarco (+12), Cabrera (+11), Sabbatini and Zach J (+10) and Stenson (+9). J Ogilvie (+7) and Singh (+6) also missed. Those scores get doubled to give an estimate for a 4 round score.

Nice to see only one of the Aussies picked missed the cut, unlike the British when most of them were hanging out in the pub over the weekend.

AU: Ogilvy -3, Senden -1, Scotty Ev, Apples +1, N Green +3, O’Hern Pamps +4, R Green +5 * * cut * * Badds.com +7

The Septics on the other hand couldn’t handle the heat, although a bunch just sneaked across the cut line. (Lets not mention Eldrick, who managed a lazy 63…)

US: Cink Lefty +2, Mahan +4, Howell Stricker Toms Boo +5 * * cut * * Furyk +6, J Ogilvie +7, Zach J +10, DiMarco +12, Bubba +18

The Seth Effrican dynamic duo of Els and Goose are setting the pace for the World team, but Sergio had a +5 to just make the cut. Most of the others are done for the weekend.

World: Els Ev, Goose +1, Choi +2, Rose Donald +3, Sergio +5 * * cut * * Vijay +6, Stenson +9, Sabbatini +10, Cabrera +11, Romero +13, Tim Clark +14

A few of the Aussies faded to finish a little lower down the leaderboard, but have generally coped well with the 40+ heat.

AU: Senden, Ogilvy -1, Pamps Ev, O’Hern Scott R.Green +2, Apples Badds.com +3, N Green +5

The Yanks we tipped are all in black numbers, including some big ones.

Defiant Daly conquers Southern Hills his own way

John Daly didn’t even bother playing a practice round at Southern Hills before he teed off Thursday, then attacked the dogleg-heavy course with his driver. His against-all-odds approach led to a 67 that wowed both the fans and his fellow players.

Well, quick post although the field is still out there. Nice to see the Aussie contingent hasn’t bombed out like they did at the British. My nomination for longshot, John Senden, is best at -2 with my tip, Geoff Ogilvy at -1. Nathan Green is at +5, but the others are +2 or better.

The Argentinians hit a brick wall, Romero and Cabrera are both at +11. In case you didn’t hear, Cabrera racked up a 10 at a par 3. John Daly is the leading Yank at -3 (not sure it would be fair to let Julie claim him now…) A few of the other US picks are struggling though: Bubba is +9, DiMarco is +8, Ogilvie +7, Stricker +7 (sob), Boo is +6, Chuck is +5, and so on.

The British playoff guys are doing good: Harrington is -1 and Garcia is even. Looks like the ISG tipsters are geniuses: Justin Rose is -1 and Choi is +1. However Stenson and Singh are +5, and Tim Clark is +7.

Early leaderboard: Gripnrip +1, aidanjm +2, barryl +2, gcswinger +4. Our British Open champ Andre_W is the back marker at +17..!! (N Green, Stricker, Stenson.) Could get ugly.
