SLL’s British Open Calcutta Final Standings
The 2013 Open Championship has wrapped up at Muirfield Golf Course in Scotland. While Phil Mickelson was the true winner, Sportsline Live kept track of the leader board, and we had our own champion of our golf calcutta. Ray Smith is the winner of our prize pack, as he tied for the top spot and won on the second tie-breaker.
All listeners had a chance to enter the calcutta during Sportsline Live shows last Tuesday, July 16 or Wednesday, July 17. The entrants competed for the prize pack, while the four Sportsline Live co-hosts and the SLL producer Kyle made their picks just for bragging rights.
Entrants could have selected two golfers in the field, opted for roulette, which means you're choosing your two golfers at random or selected one golfer and chosen roulette for the second.
The first tie-breaker is the golfer with the best overall score out of a two-some. The second tie-breaker is the best final round score out of all the golfers involved if there was a tie. In this scenario, both our top two entries chose Tiger Woods and another golfer. Then, both Lee Westwood and Adam Scott finished with the same score. Thus, we had to utilize the best final round among those three golfers, which ended up being Scott. He was +1 in the final round compared to Westwood, who was +4.
