Smart pick.  If nobody else picks Stricker, @Club Rat wins no matter the score (if Stricker wins).

I'm sure Club Rat is glad you announced that to everyone...

He's trying to "pay it forward" because that's what happened to him with his third pick.  He and @boogielicious each chose Hideki Matsuyama at E and -1, I think, and then just to be funny, some jerk came along and picked Hideki with his second pick at 32 under par. :-P (That pick has also since been nullified, but it sure was funny at the time.  Right guys??)

Can we as early pickers change our picks as these guys come in at the last minute and poach the number 2 and 3?

I fail to see any humor in it at all.  I do not know where you are coming from.

No. Says it in the OP.

The advantage to going early is that you can stake your claim. Plus, again, we've never had to go to anyone's second pick yet.

It's a strategy thing.  Do you want to go first and have all the favorites at any score of your choosing?  Or do you want to risk it and wait so you can have a better chance at getting 2nd and 3rd picks that will play?

You can't have both though.

Thanks, that makes sense.

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
