I am also playing a H2H against a friend and my entry is at $238 one would think I would be smart enough to have replicated that in the 4 million but no I am an idiot.
I actually edited my post about 10 minutes ago. I was just looking at the same bet for today, and it says that there is a tie-breaker. It says the tie-breaker is most eagles (and if that ties, most birdies). I did not notice anything about tie-breakers being mentioned yesterday. So I'm not sure if I just didn't notice it, or whether they simply didn't mention it. In hindsight, I assume there was a tie-breaker yesterday. If that is the case, I would not have won the bet. None of the 4 guys made any eagles, but Dustin Johnson had the most birdies.

I made a couple of small bets for today. I took Merrit at 65-1 and Cabrera Bello at 60-1. I was surprised to see that Spieth is 14-1. But then I realized it is because the wind is supposed to be quite a bit worse in the afternoon, so there is a good chance that the low score for the day will be from someone who tees off early. I wouldn't be surprised to see someone like Scott or Watson have the low score for the day. But I didn't bet either one of them simply because I was looking for a bigger price.

My observation is that on weekend especially Sunday guys battling for the lead are massive underlays to shoot lowest score of day. Bright lights and added pressure I guess.

My cousin Dave is the punk deterrent for Rory and Speith today. Big Dave the peacemaker loves the ponies and is a huge fan of the Byk Boss man

Only 3 rounds in the 60's among the top 10 players. Augusta National is winning.
DJ has no pressure today, 67 and he wins. Whistling Straights be damned.

Amateur Romain Langasque shot 31 (5 under) on the back 9 today. That means the course is obviously playing much easier today. I think we will see some very good scores today. I think it is quite conceivable that we see one of the guys in contention shoot 5 or 6 under today.
