Chris Lanshe closed with a 128-point World Cup card in 26th and a 476.6 golf portfolio in 36th. The pair lifted him 29 places, all the way to 13th with 1697.
That surge fit the season. Montreal powered the NHL entry to 17th, Ole Miss led the college regular-season card to 19th, and a Seahawks title ticket worth 106 carried the NFL bracket to 27th.
Lanshe never cracked the top ten and never fell into the bottom quarter. His route was accumulation with teeth: near-misses that kept arriving until they looked like a contender's résumé.
