As I said I would do...here's the rundown of the number of Top 20 golfers each of us has used up until this point.  Figuring that we are 1/3rd of the way through the year, anything more than 5 or 6 of the top guys already used is not generally beneficial.

Pick a golfer for the third round and if they shoot the lowest score on Saturday, you get bonus strokes!

Any golfer, used already or not

Let's look at it this way....

Look at the bottom half of the standings. Hardly anyone has used more than 4 or 5 golfers from the Top 20. Maybe that's why they are low in the standings?

Now, look at the top half of the standings and most have used at least 5 of the Top 20. Maybe that's why they are towards the top?

Of course nobody wants to blow their wad early but you also have to establish yourself early on or you'll be digging a hole all year!
