    I was shocked when that happened! We will wait for round 1 to end to see if anyone hits a hole in one on an earlier or same hole.

    If no one does, than I assume for your LIF the answer is yes, because someone did win it, it was just me.

    P.S. I will restart the LIF with the same rules beginning round 2! I have 2 Props, maybe I will crack one on Sunday to celebrate winning my own LIF

    This chaps my ass on two fronts....

    1) Brad beating me to the punch with the Sandy Lyle pick, and
    2). The exemption that former champions get an auto entry if they want it until they're age 60. Don't get me wrong, watching Tom Watson almost win at 60 was one of the greatest things I've ever seen in golf but he could/can still play. Not a fan of Sandy Lyle taking a spot from somebody who could compete here. It's his right as a former champ I guess, but know when to step away and not take a slot from somebody if you have zero chance of making the cut.

    The true shame is that hole in one barely helped Louis..who had a mediocre round.

    Is anyone else having issues looking at the spreadsheet? Mine is blank for the Data page and everyone has "0" for their scores

    Noticed an error in the excel file relating to Shane Lowry, I think an extra 'E' in his name is causing his rank not to be pulled in.

    This excel file is awesome, I like reading through formulas trying to figure how other people code in excel.

    Hey guys, holy smokes - I copied the names from one of the summaries we did earlier, and didn't catch the spelling mistakes. Give me 5 and I'll clean up. And yeah, I noticed there was some timeout issues earlier today, not much I can do on that one unfortunately.

    EDIT: And names should all match now...

    Gotta say - stunned by Lefty so far. Thought he'd perform well, but feel like he's soaring a little too close to the sun here...(sorry, Danny!)

    @Moc513 I'm hearing Chris Wood withdrew from play.

    Sucks for me too though. I have him in 3 of my 5 Draftkings with one being my Mickelson, Zach Johnson entry

    Can I just assume that I've won and you all are playing for 2nd? Or am I that far behind that it isn't worth tracking me on the standings page
