Because the US Open is set up by the USGA as a supreme test of skill, birdies are often hard to come by. I've seen quite a few US Open tournaments where the winning score is actually over par - so rewarding points only for shooting under par (as we did in the Masters Pool) would be pretty boring.
The scoring for our pool will work like this:
Low Round of the Day (LRD) - 5 points.
1 stroke over LRD - 4 points.
2 strokes over LRD - 3 points.
3 strokes over LRD - 2 points.
4 strokes over LRD - 1 point.
5 or more strokes over LRD - Zero points.
So, even if the lowest round of any day is 2-over par, points will be scored by every golfer who shoots 6-over par, or better. Tiger's score DOES count - so if he shoots the LRD - all scores will be in relation to his score.
Bonus Points - 3 points for every player making the cut to play the weekend. 8 points for the winner (unless Tiger wins, then these points will not be awarded).
There is a minor mistake on the entry form - Andres Romero is listed twice (this was a major pain getting the information about this field into a spreadsheet - had to type in all manually, geez) - he should only be used in the "B Group".
Good luck and get your entries in.
