Golf World pips Today’s Golfer in US PGA Predictions

Last week we pitted four members from Today’s Golfer magazine against four from Golf World to predict the 2013 US PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club.

Points were awarded in three categories, with rewards for picking the players who finished well in each area.

The points system worked like this:

– One to win (5 points for getting the winner, 2 for a top 5 and 1 for a top 10)
– One to watch (5 points for a top 5, 2 for a top 10 and 1 for a top 20)
– A long shot at 100/1 or more (5 points for a top 10, 2 for a top 20 and 1 for a top 30)

Here are the selections and results of our two teams.
