B.A.R.'s Birdie Bonanza @ The Open Contest

[B.A.R.]

For the 4th and final major this year, I would like to try a different format.

This contest is all about BIRDIES!

This will be very simple and should make Sunday morning fun to follow!

How to play:

Pick SIX Golfers from this week's Open Field​

​

No matter how many holes they play (36, 72, or even a playoff), ALL birdies count​

​

Your score will be a culmination of all 6 golfers' total birdies. ​

​

No other score will count -- just birdies​

​

Tiebreaker #1 = Predicted Total score of all 6 golfers for the week relative to par​

​

Tiebreaker #2 = First to post​

Rules:

All picks must be in by 1:30 am Eastern on Thursday, July 18th​

​

One entry per member​

​

Aliases are not permitted​

​

No whining, have fun​

Example Entry:

1. Rory McIlroy​

2. Scottie Sheffler​

3. Xander Shauffele​

4. Collin Morikawa​

5. Brian Harman​

6. Bryson DeChambeau​

I will update standings Saturday Night to make Sunday easier to follow!

[B.A.R.]

Alright, this could be interesting but also may be a foregone conclusion....

Looks like we'll have some good Sunday scores, so who knows??

Madshooter 53 w/6 left​

Laopadak 42 w/4 left​

Aplous 42 w/4 left​

SJMartin 39 w/4 left​

Kobe 38 w/3 left​

**ALL OF THESE WILL BE VERIFIED TOMORROW NIGHT ***


Everyone else is between 16 and 35 birdies.

Two members have been eliminated as all of their golfers missed the cut.

Looking at the top 6 we have some different golfers among them that could make things interesting....
