Eleven straight correct picks. Jason Williamson survived nine days of March Madness before Arizona finally took him down, and that 7th-place survivor run, 243.5 points of it, was the cleanest sustained work of his season.
The fall had been strong too: 23rd in the college regular season at 313 behind Ole Miss's 75, a 42nd in the NFL bracket where the Patriots' AFC leg held for 97, a 50th in October.
Then the calendar turned on him. The World Cup returned 93, the majors 92, back-to-back finishes of 156th and 160th that bled 17 places off his rank in the closing fold. Williamson's 1596.5 total held 28th, his best work forced to survive two quiet final cards.
