2023 Endzone's Best Ball Challenge - The Open

[95 Vol Alum]

Rules:
Pick a foursome - one golfer from each group (A, B, C, D). Scoring is best ball by hole in each round. Lowest 4 round score wins. Team must be posted prior to the first tee time.

Tie Breaker #1 - Final round score of the winner.

Tie Breaker #2 - Total four round score of the winner.

FYI - Please check your lineup to see they are scheduled to play.

I'll try to update the standings each night. I've done my best to group the golfers using the World Golf Rankings. The golfers are ordered by their current rankings.

@95 Vol Alum Helped GVF.

95 ain't even posted picks yet. Couldn't copy him. I'm still nervous about picking Rory on my own though. He's screwed me bad the other 2 times I tried him.

Who knows. I tried going the links style route in my player picks last week and got smoked.

I went the dartboard route and did OK.
