Sony Open Results

We rolled eight golfers out at the Sony in two lineups.  Seven of the eight made it to play the weekend.  Only golfer not to make it to Saturday was Chris Kirk, who actually fired a 5-under 65 on Friday, but was doomed with his opening round 74.  It was only his second round in 22 trips around Waialae over par.  His missing the cut doomed the Scott/Kirk lineup which failed to cash in a single contest.

Two more golfers, David Hearn and Pat Perez, were then cut after poor Saturday rounds.  Highest finisher of the eight was Jerry Kelly who was T9.  Here is a snapshot of the lineup that made money.

Matt Kuchar flirted with the cut over his first two rounds, and was piddling along on Saturday before firing off six straight birdies to close his round and get into contention for Sunday.  Unfortunately, none of the golfers in my lineups got any momentum during the final round.

Adam Scott was somewhat of a disappointment.  He did play all four rounds, which is nice, but he never really got into any kind of groove.  He was under-70 all four with a 68-68-68-69, but when the winner shoots 69-64-65-62, you're leaving some strokes out on the course.  Not what you're looking for from your top priced guy.

All-in-all though, not a terrible week.  When you can get seven of eight to the weekend, it's not too bad.  If Hearn or Perez could have avoided the Saturday cut, it's likely the lineups would have cashed in every contest.  As it is, still a profitable week, albeit a nominal one.
