The quarterfinals are final and venice1, the leader after 3 rounds, took a terrible downward spin by losing all 4 quarterfinal matches and now is in the cellar with 1GrumpyGolfer going into the final day of action. raycastleunited took the lead by posting a 3 and 1 record for the round. boyhyde and Davie are just 10 points back with 3 matches to play.

The following still have their overall winner remaining in the competition:
1. None

That's correct nobody has chosen the eventual winner due to arrive tomorrow. Talk about predicting the future...

Damn that Colsaerts! I had a little bet on both Sneds and Rustin Jose and both were looking great until they met Colsaerts!

Chippy Lawrie is looking pretty good right now though

My turn to flex my muscles Blue. Glad Venice is there to help as I am fu, very tired after digging out what seems like half of my garden today.
