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.

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

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!

    • Day 203 (21 Nov 24) - Weekly nine hole round with my good friend.  Played it as a 7 club challenge (7w, 5h, 7i, 9i, GW, LW, putter).  As we were playing up a set of tees, no super loss of distance off the tee.  Had some good looks at birdie, failed to convert.  These sessions with fewer clubs really helps with course management.  
    • Tell me about it - shouldn’t have second guessed…
    • My wife is going to drag me to see Wicked.   She is very excited to see it.   We saw the musical while in Chicago and thought it was very good.  I'm not usually a fan of musicals but I'm looking forward to seeing this.   Gladiator 2 does look good.   I'm going to go back and watch the original Gladiator before going to the theater.
    • MSN Glover expressed his dissatisfaction with what he termed as 'cool kid meetings' between Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay, Tiger Woods and other high-profile golfers. "I think it's terrible," he stated. "And then hiding behind pace of play, I think, challenges our intelligence. They think we're stupid.     "Don't cut fields because it's a pace of play issue. Tell us to play faster, or just say you're trying to appease six guys and make them happy so they don't go somewhere else and play golf." Fitzpatrick joined the conversation on X (formerly Twitter), with the 30-year-old echoing Glover's sentiments regarding the PGA Tour changes. "He's so right," Fitzpatrick posted. "Pathetic that pace of play is spoken about every year and nothing ever gets done."     I agree. Instead of  penalizing  players for  turtle  play they appease the  slow jerks  by  cutting the  fields. They will play even slower  knowing they will NEVER be  penalized.
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 3 years  My current handicap index or average score is: 1.5 My typical ball flight is: neutral /slight draw The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: hook   Looking for some advice please folks. Started golfing three years ago and got hooked. Had some early lessons and was a slicer etc.  I used to have a severe inside takeaway and through working hard to fix as ever (this game…) it’s now gone too far the other way where I take it back way outside.  i think it looks really bad and have gotten a lesson last year where we tried to competely reset the swing and it ruined things for months as I couldn’t get it to stick (my fault).    anyway do I need to fix this? I hit it reasonably solid but don’t know what else I’m looking at or need to clean up. All opinions welcomed!  Videos:
