Mike Kern picked the winner of The Players Championship. It's his third winner in five weeks. Mark Eckel picked the winner of NASCAR's Auto Club 400. His four picks finished 1, 2, 7, 8. Eckel was also great believing in Seton Hall (In fairness, we were terrible on the ACC and Ivy tournaments.) Craig Dietel went 5-3 on NHL picks. Sean Miller went 8-5-3 on soccer and is now on a bit of a roll. And Mick McMudder had three winners on Friday and three on Saturday including a trifecta.
