Masters Thursday and Friday tee times just released. Plan your workdays accordingly!
Jason Stokes
should we really be allowed to see everyones picks already?
Jason Stokes
i mean before we submit anything? i guess it doesnt matter...
Daniel B
Solution: submit terrible picks. Wait for everyone to copy you. Fix your picks at the last minute.

^^^Playing Major Tradition
Connor McAuslan
Andrew Brown
Round 2 Underway while R1 scores will continue to trickle in.
Andrew Brown
Three at -13 thru R1, but Melissa Hoffman takes the tiebreak for the win.
Travis Hill
Projected Cut currently at +3. That leaves out guys like Dustin Johnson, Brian Harman, Rickie Fowler, Jordan Spieth, Sam Burns, and many other Top 30 guys as it stands...
Travis Hill
Projected Cut has moved to +4. That puts McCarthy, Tom Kim, Sahith, Gary Woodland, and Rickie just inside the cut as stands!
Travis Hill
Justin Thomas oddly enough playing like he remembers the game of golf this weekend. Currently back to Even par.
Travis Hill
And to one up JT, Rory decided to bring his game back for a weekend. Currently sits at 1 under. Two guys nobody wanted to pick.
Travis Hill
Cut very likely staying at +4. Just can't see it moving at this point. Sorry all you Keegan Bradley folks.
Andrew Brown
Cut moves to +5, I'll take Keegan back, thank you very much.
Keegan Cornelius
+6?!?! They let anybody in this thing…
Daniel B
+6 HOOOOOLD
The Founders
My Money's on Daniel Earnest today. Already -11 with Scottie Scheffler just getting going doesn't seem fair.
Chad Theis
Is anyone else cheering for the LIV golfers to just fade off the leaderboard?
Chad Theis
Only two rounds in the 60s today is crazy.
Travis Hill
Many, many predictions in today's Sunday Edition email. Would love to hear some thoughts on my predictions, and yours as to who will come out on top today...
Andrew Brown
Safe to say Collins not winning it yet?
The Founders
Two quick updates…
The Founders
#1 - Apparently Scottie Scheffler is a felon. But don’t worry, he’s back out there now.
The Founders
#2 - Appreciate everyone’s patience with scores this morning. If you’re not in Houston, it’s a bit of a war zone. We know a few golfers still need R1 scores brought in and will be on it as soon as we get power back. R2 scores should be coming through.
Travis Hill
There are 16 golfers finishing up Round 2 this morning. Round 3 will tee off around 9:30am CST with about 79 golfers making the cut at -1 or better.
Travis Hill
After 2 Round for the Founders:
1. Chad (71)
2. Travis (121)
3. Andrew (223)
Travis Hill
LOWRY and ROSE both sit at -3 through 4 holes on Round 3. Will they carry you to victory today? Only 11 total picks of over 1000 golfers chosen!
The Founders
John Kenfield leading the way at -49 coming down the stretch. Will it hold?!
The Founders
John still holding the lead but a Bryson birdie on 17 or eagle on 18 would push Garret Keibler to the top...
The Founders
Bryson casually smashing 221 yard 8 irons...
The Founders
There you have it - Xander brings home his first Major Championship and rookie John Kenfield takes home first prize for the weekend. Congrats to all our winners!
The Founders
Full weekend recap coming to your inbox soon. See you all at the US Open in less than a month!
The Founders
Thomas Owen at +9. I don't think Matteo Manassero was the play...
The Founders
Tress Way at +8. I don't think Justin Thomas was the play...
The Founders
Previous MT Cup Champion Coy Breen currently setting the pace, with Eugene Kim one stroke back.
The Founders
S/O to Eugene for taking not one, but two golfers sharing his last name. An MT first?
Chad Theis
Sepp Straka with a hole in one on 9!!
Chad Theis
Will Scottie make the cut?? It's not looking good for the World #1. No birdies today so far..
Keegan Cornelius
Chad lmk if you need any tips on being the 54 hole leader. It can be an uncomfortable place. I know you’re not used to all the attention but remember, pressure makes diamonds.
Keegan Cornelius
Or ask Travis. He’s also been in your shoes.
Keegan Cornelius
Actually, if anybody could tell me it’s probably you…. How many 54 hole leaders have converted to a win?
Keegan Cornelius
Oh actually that’s probably Andrew’s lane right?
The Founders
Only once in the last 2 years has the 54 hole leader run it back. Any guesses?
Travis Hill
hahahaha. I'm loving this self-conversation commentary here. Pitting the Founders against one another. I have a couple 'ships under my belt.. but they're starting to gather some dust.
The Founders
Alli Sims currently holding the outright lead. Fun fact: she had Rahmbo before he withdrew. In another universe, she's outside the top 100.
Benjamin Sims
Great stat. To make it even sweeter she did in fact confirm her selection of Shipley was soley based on her Wednesday morning craving of a blueberry iced
The Founders
Has to be one of the more creative strategies we've heard!
Chad Theis
That strategy is how you win Majors and March Madness!
The Founders
And with that - Bryson takes home his second US Open and Chad Theis earns the crown! What a finish - congrats to this weekends winners. Stay tuned for a full recap in your inbox tomorrow and we look forward to seeing you in July for the British Open!
The Founders
Welcome to the 4th edition of the 2024 MT Cup - the Open Championship. Best of luck to you and your foursome this weekend. JT leading the way in the AM session - will it hold?
The Founders
Note that Romain Langasque has WD after 8 holes. Becuase he started the round, chosen subs will go in for R2 and any subsequent rounds only.
The Founders
Sebastian Soderberg's WD yesterdey will be replaced with Subs for R1 and subsequent rounds given he did not tee off in R1.
The Founders
yesterday*
The Founders
R1 in the books - @TylarClaypool - lonely at the top?
The Founders
Daly and Els WDs overnight now replaced with subs for R2+.
The Founders
@JimBriscoe - you've officially made MT history as the first to have two players WD. Sending love - and a hat while we're at it!
Daniel Bratlie
Dang, 2 WDS is impressive picking haha
The Founders
Putting golf aside for a second - who knew the entire world order depended on some barely-recognizable company called CrowdStrike?
The Founders
@Daniel Bratlie - to make matters worse, @Jim Briscoe's sub was Aguri Iwasaki who went +20 on the day. Woof.
The Founders
If you're feeling like you're having an off day - just check out Janet Olberding's card. Currently not one birdie!
Daniel Bratlie
So my wife (jammy Bratlie) had all 4 golfers cut! Hahahaha did that happen to anyone else? I was quite impressed actually.
Daniel B
To be honest, sometimes no golfers (default score of par) is better than having golfers (sometimes getting a positive score)
The Founders
14! participants had all four cut. Moment of silence, please.
Daniel Bratlie
😂😂amazing
Kaleb Vincent
How many go to the next round? 25?
The Founders
Chats back!
The Founders
Correct - top 25 will make it to the Tour Championship.
The Founders
For the MT Cup only - tied Overall scores will make the cut (i.e. player position tie break won't count toward cut line).
The Founders
Matsuyama WD WILL be replaced with subs as he did not tee off in R2
The Founders
Subs will go in for R2-R4 only
The Founders
How about Adam Lipps and Karen Campbell clawing their ways back from -5 and -4 respectively to sit top 5, now.
Chad Theis
Robert MacIntyre was just WD'd after the 9th hole. He won't be able to be replaced. Sorry, Ryan!
The Founders
Cut looking like -49. Pulling for a Nick Dunlap birdie on 18 just so Daniel Bratlie can make the cut from a -1 start!
The Founders

The Founders

Jacob Harp
It was too much pressure for my guys
The Founders
Hammer down from Joe Gibbons today! Your 2024 MT CUP CHAMPION!
The Founders
