Thanks, everyone, I appreciate the kind words. MM, you are too kind.

Paul, I have tremendous respect for the accomplishment that you did last year in winning this thing. This was only my second live contest after the NHC in January and when you are there it becomes quickly evident that you are playing with the best handicappers in the country.

I knew I was having a big day on Saturday but without a leader board I really thought I had a small chance to possibly get within the first 6 prizes for the day on Saturday but thought that I had pretty much zero chance to move from 142nd place on Friday to within the top 12 overall.

I can't say enough about the Wynn and John Avello who runs the contest, it was first class all the way!

Congratulations. 11th place will get you a decent chunk of tour points too, in your quest for another NHC shot.
