Another choice for #8 was "player named Wood", note the singular.

This was the question I bled points on, started to enter #2 for German on all boxes when I remember Barnyard Langer won twice. So I had to look back up and rescan the answers. With only 1 box it would have been an easy 1k. Augusta Native was a nice touch, Larry Mize is from there.

This was an extremely well-written game, pretty damn tough too. The score put up by Walsh's was way higher than I expected to see from another location. Although they did have an advantage on perhaps the toughest question regarding the Western Open starting in 1899 as it's in Chicago. Also that's where Lee Trevino was struck by lightning. Well done to them.

Other very tough questions were #'s 6,9,12, and 14.

I feel less bad about failing to break 8000 now, but if this had been a Wipeout game, I might not have reached 5000. Lots of reliance on clues to get through this one :?
