PGA Championship Sweep Update Day 1
Scores are subject to checking in the morning as the final scores didn’t come through until gone 1.30am. We’ll also check the payments tomorrow so if you haven’t transferred over the funds yet, please do so asap to save us work chasing people.
A further seven teams were added to the published starting list, so we’ve ended up with 247 teams. We are always fine to receive late entries from the regulars – we all lead busy lives and it’s easy to forget about these Major Sweeps. It is easier for the US based majors as we have the Thursday morning to tidy things up. No entries are allowed after the first tee off time, so it means for The Open in July we’ll set an earlier closing time on the Wednesday evening. For this USPGA sweep it does mean team details for the extra seven teams are not shown but if anyone does want them, please let me know. The additional £175 has been allocated into the main prizes creating a nice round £2,000 (from £1,900) to the winner and we’ve increased 3rd to £650 (from £600) and the remaining £25 has been allocated to 5th. The revised main prize amounts are:
1st £2,000
2nd £1,000
3rd £650
4th £400
5th £305
Schauffele continued his recent good form and shot a 9 under round 1 score – impressive. He was selected by only 20 teams but he’s not a great finisher so it could end up being a tough watch for his supporters. I had a look at who were the 20 teams selecting Xander and saw that JK had doubled up on him placing him in both of his teams- he didn’t share that belief in him with his fellow sweep organiser. Mike Hill also doubled up on him – well done (so far) to all the others who have included him who are too numerous to mention. Mcilroy is also off to a good start at 5 under. Of the later starters Hubbard shot the lowest round with 6 under and he was only selected by 2 teams, Tom Kim and Detry matched Mcilroy’s score, and they were are low frequency sweep picks at 2 and 4 respectively, Scheffer looks ominous at 4 under. They are forecasting overnight rain and for tomorrow, so we’ll see what that does to the scoring which was very good today.
A sweep leaderboard is shown at the completion of round 1 and the early pace setters are Greg Josling and the Mark and Al team 1 – I think this latter combination picked up a sweep win at the last year’s US Open Sweep so maybe that’s the answer to getting results from the sweep. There are some familiar names towards the top but there are also a few people who enter regularly and haven’t collected anything in the past. One of the interesting dynamics of the sweep is about hoping your golfers make the cut (no one has won a sweep having had a casualty after Round 2 – yes a few have got into the prize frame but haven’t collected the big prize on offer) and watching the later starters battle it out to make the cut is great viewing for a Friday night, although I’m sure some of our younger participants can think of better things to do on a Friday night:-).
Remember the consolation events kick in after tomorrow and there will be prizes available for the weekend performance of your team based on which missed cut category you end up in. The only exception is for any team who has no golfers playing at the weekend and all you get for this will be a mention in the write up, some flack from your colleagues and added to a small elite list of others who have managed this previously …they know who they are.
