Greed, as we all know, is one of life's greatest evils and so in competitions like our own it's good once in a while to turn the spotlight on those who have, of their own free will, given the pursuit of huge weekly winnings and the £10,000 first prize the cold shoulder. This week, for instance, no fewer than seven of our managers decided that they were simply happy with what they already had. None of their players were sent out onto the course and their earnings for the week came to the roundest figure of all - zero.

So congratulations to Joey McGettigan from Bray, Conor O'Brien from Douglas, Liam Kirwan of Dalkey, Sutton's Declan Carolan, Martin Reilly from Dundalk, John Rooney from Bird Avenue in Dublin and the one, even more selfless than the rest, manager who didn't bother to leave his name or address lest his team do well and those materialist cads at Tour HQ try to burden him with a cheque for 10 big ones.

Any of these managers who wish to claim a polo shirt for their efforts can do so by dropping us a line here at head office (that's the sports dept to you) quoting the name and number of the team that has achieved this wonderful goal.

Scoring no points at all for one week, of course, can be achieved with a fairly decent team. After all, our seven managers of the week have between them the likes of Jesper Parnevik, Tom Lehman, Jose Maria Olazabal and Nick Faldo and most are safely mid table in the competition as a whole.

Ruairi Timlin, on the other hand, is actually last in the competition - a distinction not so easily achieved without some severe miscalculations at the selection stage.

Appropriately enough the Galwayman called his team the Underdogs and the seven have certainly lived down to their collective name with David Feherty, Neal Briggs, Brandt Jobe, Derrick Cooper, Mike Harwood, Miles Tunnicliff and Peter Teravainen linking up to bring their boss a remarkable £356,708 which includes £1,500 they picked up last weekend. Like Staunton at the other end of the table, Timlin still has a few weeks to hang on but, with a line up like that, we reckon he just might pull it off.
