U.S. Open Prediction Competition 2010

Slight change to the rules for this one, following the comments after the Masters.

Each player gets 5 picks:

1. Top 5 - One pick from the top five in the official world golf rankings - Woods, Mickelson, Stricker, Westwood, Furyk

2. British/Irish - One pick from Ireland/Britain (not in the world top 5)

3. Other European - One pick from the European entrants for the tournament (not in the world top 5 or from Britain or Ireland)

4. American - One pick from the American entrants for the tournament (not in the world top 5)

5. Rest of the World - One pick from the non-American and non-European entrants (again not in the world top 5)

A person's score will be determined by the best 4 scores from their 5 players. If two or more picks from any player fail to make the cut, they will be eliminated from the competition.

The closing date for entries is 10am Thursday. It will be up to everyone to make sure their own picks are valid.

In the event of a tie, the person's 5th pick will be taken into consideration.

I will try to post updates after each round but can't guarantee that.
