Each player can still get 3 more points tomorrow max, so this lists the top player for each side and anyone on that team within 3 of that top player.

These are my tabulations. Not official, but at least triple-checked:

9.5 @mchepp (West)

8.5 @SavvySwede (East)

8.5 @jbishop15 (East)

7.0 @Big C (West)

7.0 @jamo (East)

6.5 @saevel25 (East)

5.5 @DaveP043 (East)

I'm still looking pretty good with my prediction of an East win and SavvySwede as the MVP. I just need the West to gain a few points on the East to make it a closer match. Good luck to all players tomorrow.

Hunters so superstitious, he wears his hat backwards on certain holes and I think he's been wearing the same underwear for the past three days?

As his roommate for the week and teammate, I can neither confirm nor deny these rumors.

Just another day in paradise today @ Moon Valley.

Weather was picture perfect.

S, spoken = (s)lander. Either way, the internet rumor mill will make it true!

I'll just leave this here.....

Who will clinch the winning point? For which team?

[RandallT]

In case you missed prior days, here is a brief re-cap.

As the sun rises in Phoenix, the ragtag bunch from East of the Mississippi is feeling confident, but not overconfident. @mvmac is doing his best Crenshaw imitation, but since there was no press conference and it was at breakfast, most of his team failed to hear his motivational speech.

The East opened up a narrow 1 point lead on Day 1. While the West tried to lull the East into complacency by sending out @mchepp with torture-like sleep deprivation, the ploy worked to perfection as he garnered top points for the day. The well-rounded East sent out their Jeckyll and Hyde team of @SavvySwede / @jbishop15 , whom @iacas forced to stay together as punishment for their Match 1 performance. The tactic worked as they have rebounded to the top of the East point getters.

Day 2 saw the East widen their lead to 5. Although the details of each match are still sketchy, because a shooter in the area is preventing them from letting us know what is really going on there.  But some random highlights/lowlights that we can decipher through the haze on Twitter include (I may be misinterpreting some things, or mixing different events together, my apologies):

Here @kpaulhus tries to hit a draw up and around to the right of this fence. "I don't play cuts" he was heard to mutter.

Here @iacas is shocked by a ruling on the course regarding the proper pluralization of "brontosaurus" after Barney claims he was away (14 brontosauruses to his competitor's 13).

Our first scoreboard for the day is below. New larger fonts for those trying to view it from the course in the bright Arizona sun.  I promise not to mess with you during the round by giving phony scores.  Play well, gentlemen. 27.5 for the victory!

Who will clinch the winning point? For which team?

@saevel25 for the Blue Team

It'll be the Blue team...Matt. But I need the Red team to start playing some golf or I'm gonna be buying my next driver! ;-)
