Before we get to this week's tournament, here are the results from the previous contest.
Steemit Scramble Results –PGA Championship
| Place | Contestant | Points |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | @solarsherpa | 31 |
| 2nd | @davor27 | 23 |
| 2nd | @unhorsepower777 | 23 |
The 2x multiplier was Rory McIlroy’s final score for the tournament, which was +1. The closest contestant guesses came from @davor27 (+4) and @solarsherpa (-2). As a result, both contestants were able to double their score and also added a five-point bonus for selecting a unique golfer combination.
I will be traveling for a few days, so winning payouts will be sent when I return.
