Desperately unlucky last week as Chris Kirk could only finish second after going in to the final round in the lead, ultimately finishing one shot behind winner Jimmy Walker (who typically had been my headline tip just the week before).

It's the Human Challenge in California this week where going very low on some relatively easy courses is very much the order of the day.
