This is how it works:
There are 12 sections You have to pick 1 player, Yes/No, or number (depending on which section) for each one. The scores for each selection are listed below.
Just put the letters A to L with your choice for each - preferably going downwards, followed by a tie-break answer.
In the event of a tie (1st place only), a tiebreak will come into effect so there will be an absolute winner.
As at the time of posting, there is no prize fund, but things may change.
The Sections: and some details/clues/history
A. How many will Bill Haas score in Round 1 (His 2 previous 1st round scores in the PGA have been; 68 & 75) 3 points for exact, 1 point if 1 out
Par is 71
B. Day 1 Leader: Name the player who will lead the event at the end of the 1st round. 6 points for the leader, 4 points for whoever's in 2nd, 2 points for being in 3rd. 1 point if 4th.
You may need to look at the full list of players (outright winner betting page will do) to pick your selection.
C. How many of the 23 players whose surname begins with an ‘S’ will make the cut?: Only 70 players (+ties) make the cut. 4 points for being right, 2 points if you’re 1 away, 1 point if you're two out.
A number between 0 and 23 for this section.
These 23: Schwartzel, Scott, Senden, Sheftic, Siem, Simpson, Singh, Skinner, Small, Smith, Snedeker, Sorenson, Sowards, Spieth, Stadler, Stallings, Stanley, Stenson, Sterne, Streelman, Stricker, Stroud, Sullivan.
D. What will the Cut-Mark be? (ie what will be the highest score which will qualify players for the last 2 rounds).
The last 2 PGA championships were cut at +6 and +4 (that is, 6 over par and 4 over par stayed in) and the last one at this course was +8
It’s likely to be an over par score, but doesn’t have to be. Your choice.
3 points for being correct, 1 point if 1 out either way.
E. Best 3rd round score. Par is 70. Course record is 64.
2 points for being right.
Choose (imo) from 63 to 75 - but the probability is 65 - 67 (possibly depending on the weather)
F. How many of these 20 will be in the Top 20 (and ties) at the end of Round 3 4 points for exact, 2 for being out by 1, 1 point if 2 out.
Woods, Westwood, McIlroy, Donald, Schwartzel, Rose, Garcia, Mickelson, Mahan, Poulter, D. Johnson, Scott, Snedeker, Stenson, Day, Kuchar, Bradley, Dufner, Stricker, Z. Johnson. So, any number between 0 and 20 for your selection, please.

Choose from: P/O, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 plus.
3 points for being exactly right.
L. What will be the final winning score? Par is 280, Last winning score at Oak Hills was; 276 (2003).
In the last 20 years the lowest US PGA winning score was 265, and the highest 280 (all venues). 5 points for spot on, 3 points for 1 out, 2 points if 2 out, 1 point if 3 out.
Choose a number (imo) between 264 and 290.
TIEBREAK : Which of these players will finish highest in the Championship?
Simple as that.
Choose one of these 8: S-M Bae, P. Uihlein, M. Ilonen, J. Kokrak, M. Every, D. Lynn, V. Singh, T. Jaidee.
If they all miss the cut, the best score for 2 rounds will still count.
Other stuff
E&OE - If there's a player missing from any of the sections as I've listed them (I don't think I've missed anyone), he will be ignored for scoring purposes.
Any ties in any sections, points shared; (eg, if the score is 2 points for 3rd, 1 point for 4th, and there's a tie for 3rd, both will score 1.5)
Please put initials with any ambiguous selections (eg. There are 2 Watsons, 2 Johnsons, Clarke/Clark) any doubt about a selection for a section will score ZERO for that section regardless of the intention.
If I’ve made any glaring errors please let me know, and I’ll do my best to rectify….. otherwise….
The organiser's (that's me) decision is final. I'll endeavour to update scores and standings at the end of each day's play.
Entries accepted until 12.00 Midday, Thursday 8th August. (NO LATE ENTRIES ACCEPTED)
