2012 British Open Prediction Contest

Sponsored by Walters Golf

Predict the Winner of the British Open

with Walters Golf and The Sand Trap!

The field is wide open as the players gear up for another test at the Royal Lytham & St. Annes Golf Club in Lancashire.

Who do you think will WIN the British Open and what SCORE will they shoot?

To enter, post your answer right here in this thread. Your answer must also include a 2nd and 3rd choice. You are NOT predicting who will finish 1st, 2nd and 3rd, you are picking 3 players to win and what score(s) they will shoot. The first choice carries tremendous weight (see the rules below for more).

You will have a chance to win a round of golf at the Royal Links Golf Club and 2 night accommodations at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas!

The Rules:

- All qualifying entries must be received by July 18, 2012 at Midnight eastern time zone (New York City).
- You must be a registered member of The Sand Trap in good standing.
- You must be a legal resident of the fifty (50) United States or the District of Columbia and aged eighteen (18) or older as of the date of entry.
- Your answer must include the FULL NAME (first and last) and score in relation to par (+2, -4, E, etc.) you are predicting to win the 2012 British Open, as well as your 2nd and 3rd choices.

- The Winner will be selected as the first person in the contest to correctly pick both the winner and the score.

- One entry per person and per household. Any additional entries or modifications invalidate all entries.

- If we suspect fraud of any kind - suspicious multiple entries, for example - we reserve the right to award the prize to the next entry.

- By entering the British Open Prediction Contest , you agree to have the email address associated with your Sand Trap account sent to Walters Golf.

Details regarding the red, underlined rule:

- It's very simple guys. The winner is the first person (who satisfies the other rules) to choose the correct winner and score with their first choice. If nobody picks the correct score, the winner is the first person to have the closest score for the correct winner. If nobody chose the correct winner with their first choice, we repeat the process for everyone's second choice, and then the third.

- In other words, if someone chooses Joe Smith for their first choice - at any score - and you choose him for your second choice, you've wasted your choice. Additionally, if someone chooses Joe Smith at -2 for their first choice, it makes no sense to choose Joe Smith at -2 for any of your choices if you're posting after that entry (unless the person is DQed or ineligible, of course).

- Think of your picks like draft picks. Your second and third choices should be someone you don't think will be chosen in the first "round."

The Prize:

- One (1) Grand Prize winner will be awarded one (1) round of golf for two (2) people at the Royal Links Golf Club and two (2) nights of accommodations for two (2) people at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas*.

- The Grand Prize winner will also receive limo transportation and rental clubs.

- The grand prize does not include airfare.

Sorry to make an example out of you, but you wasted your second pick. Yukari already took Tiger Woods with his first choice, so at any score, he will win over you. In fact, any other person who takes Tiger with their first choice will win before you, even if they post after you.

We've tried to make this excessively clear. The rules have been the same for several contests in a row now. IF NOBODY'S FIRST CHOICE WINS, only then do we go on to the second choices.

Tiger Woods - 14 under Rory McIlroy - 11 under Rickie Fowler - 11 under ======================== I hope Tiger silences his critics in a big way with a record-setting performance. Maybe Fowler's not quite ready, but I like the kid.
