  I think WGT might look at the leaderboard and give an extra 2 gift cards, because they cant give 2 gift cards to 2 players who are tied 10th and leave the other 2 out, unless they do go with tied scores calculation or be ultra cruel and not give any one tied 10th a card.

  I agree Chris, it is harsh when people miss out on tied scores (I know from past experience!), but just going by the Tournament Rules and that past experience I believe the prizes will be given out as Jim and myself said.

  I guess from WGT's point of view they have a certain prize budget per tournament, which could vary massively if ties were allowed. Changing to allow ties could set a dangerous precedent. As I said, I hope the other guys at Tied 10th do win the Gift Card though...

  Well, it'll be disappointing if I don't get a gift card, but rules are rules, and the rules do state how they deal with ties... serves me right for missing that 5.1 foot slider on #17 in rd 3.. or only getting par on holes #1, 6 & 18 in rd 1.. oh well, can't change that now can I !?!?!?!??

  If nothing else, I'd appreciate some credits from wgt as a sort of a consolation prize. Realistically, it wouldn't actually "cost" them anything, and it would be a nice gesture... I guess I'll wait and see
