Masters hunchers,
Check your lineups! Remember that the list was released before the field was finalized, so there are players on there who are not competing. I think we all want a sporting contest, so this is the official warning and disclaimer.
Entries will be accepted until midnight Eastern time the night before tee-off at which time I'll post payouts. I'll post a leaderboard each night as well.

Select one golfer from each of the following tiers and list them all in an individual post, along with a prediction for the winning score to be used as a tiebreaker. You can select multiple golfers from any lower tier and skip a tier. For example, two from the second tier and zero from the first, or two from tier three and zero from the second. Odds are for reference purposes only and have no bearing on the outcome (odds current as of 3/26 from sportsbook.ag) Entrants are responsible for being aware of withdrawals and changes can be made until the first golfer hits the first tee (must be in the form of a clearly labeled new post with your updated complete list).
Any golfer who misses the cut will be scored with the highest carded round from the 3rd and 4th round. For example, if you pick Henrik Stenson and he misses the cut, for round 3 he will receive the highest score in the clubhouse for that day's round. The same applies to round 4.
Mid tournament DQ's and WD's will be scored with any finished rounds standing and any remaining rounds treated the same as a MC. Golfers who withdraw before the tournament, if not replaced before first tee 4/5 will have each round scored as a MC.
At the end of the tournament, each entrant’s lowest 5/6 scores will be added together with the lowest score winning. If a huncher selects the winning golfer from tier two or lower, they will receive a $25 bonus. Payouts after bonuses will be 85/15 for first and second. Pending number of entries a third place winner will be added.
