Jack Lindberg's season looked defensible until the last two scorecards arrived.
The Seahawks champion returned 108 and pushed his NFL postseason entry to 227 placement points. Lindberg tied for 24th. An NBA card worth 188 and a tied 63rd gave that result legitimate support.
Then Brazil topped his World Cup entry with 24, but 61 total pool points left it 228th. Golf's 237.6-point total translated to 222nd after only 35.1 at The Open. The closing pair erased 48 places. Lindberg's year ended 212th on 963. Two strong cards survived in the record; their protection did not.
