Well after 3 rounds of the Phoenix open your top 10 currently stand at
Symbol Odds Golfer Name
DUVADAVI 4:1 David Duval    tied 10th
ESTEBOB  5:1 Bob Estes      tied 21st
TRIPKIRK 5:1 Kirk Triplett       tied 34th
SINGVIJA 5:1 Vijay Singh     not in cut
WOODTIGE 6:1 Tiger Woods   2nd
VERPSCOT 6:1 Scott Verplank   tied 34th
MAYFBILL 7:1 Billy Mayfair     not in cut
STEWPAYN 7:1 Payne Stewart     tied 40th
MCCASCOT 7:1 Scott McCarron    tied 40th
GOYDPAUL 8:1 Paul Goydos      tied 50th

would this be a good "result" for your stats? or do your top 10s more
closely match the tournment results.  (I know the tourney hasn't finished
yet).

Actually that has just made me think of another question by your top 10 do
you mean most likely to win?  or a prediction of the top 10 places?
