Congratulations to billy pilgrim, the official winner of Round 1 of the 2014 SHC!
Well done. See you in the TOC.
Bllly Pilgrim beat out cbec by a single point, and four other players who were over 400 for the week. All told we had 118 players attempting at least one day. And now that TCONA is over, we may see some more checking in form time to time.
If you are one of these, welcome.
Remember, overall totals still count for Wild Cards, but weekly scores reset to zero for the new round.
Good luck to all.
On we go.
