The Winner of the Captain Morgan 2011 BracketMaster Challenge
All good things must come to an end. Just like the real NCAA tournament, the Captain Morgan BracketMaster Championship presented by Spike.com is coming to a close today. It was fun participating in this tournament that featured 32 gorgeous gals teaming up with 32 men’s sites to see who would be crowned the Ultimate Morganette. We made it to the Sweet 16 serving as an honorary coach to Erica M, but we couldn’t get past Kelly from Ft. Lauderdale, who went on to compete in the finals.
Kelly beat out Nicole from Austin Texas to take the crown as the 2011 Ultimate Morganette national champion. With Joshua Estrin of Examiner and Celeb Buzzz in her corner, Kelly tore through the South and finished first in the final voting match up.
Here’s a full list of all the Morganettes and participating sites:

Interview with Jim Furyk
Jim Furyk has been one of the most consistent golfers on the PGA tour for the past decade. The 2010 PGA Player of the Year recently teamed up with GE’s healthymagination initiative to help professional athletes and casual sports players prevent and diagnose injuries with the help of new technologies.
Furyk, who spent over 350 weeks in the top-10 rankings from 1999 to 2010, is known as “The Grinder.” His style of play and his unconventional swing make him a prime candidate for injuries. Golf’s certainly not a contact sports, but the game does put some wear and tear on the body.
We spoke to Furyk about preventing injuries, the new technologies employed by GE healthymagination to diagnose injuries, his trademark goofy swing, his expectations for Augusta and his favorite places to play golf. Here’s the full interview:

Infiniti Presents Round by Round Brackets Coaches vs. Cancer
The fine folks at Infiniti invited us to the Arizona v. UConn NCAA West Regionals game at the Honda Center in Anaheim this past weekend. It was a fantastic game 
that came right down to the wire, with Arizona having the chance to win the game on two last-second three point attempts. The Wildcats came up short, and UConn earned a berth in the Final Four.
Infiniti has a corporate partnership with the NCAA, and they serve as sponsors for the CBS Sports Round by Round Brackets – Coaches vs. Cancer. Visitors can go to the Round by Round Brackets page on CBS Sports and enter for a chance to win a trip to the 2012 Final Four.
Infiniti is working with coaches to help raise up to $500,000 for Coaches vs. Cancer, a nationwide collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC). The American Cancer Society describes Coaches vs. Cancer as a program that “leverages the personal experiences, community leadership, and professional excellence of basketball coaches nationwide to increase cancer awareness and promote healthy living through year-round awareness efforts, fundraising activities, and advocacy programs.” Since 1993, the program has raised over $50 million to support the fight against cancer.
There are two more chances for you to fill out your Round by Round Bracket on CBS Sports, and each correct pick you make helps support a great cause. The deadline for making your Final Four selections is Saturday, April 2 at 5:55pm (EST). The deadline for making you pick in the championship game is Monday, April 4 at 8:55pm (EST).
If you’re like most people in America, your original bracket was probably busted a long time ago. So get in a last bracket fix, support a great cause and try to win yourself a trip to the 2012 Final Four before this year’s March Madness comes to an official end.

Captain Morgan’s BracketMaster Elite 8
So we didn’t make it to the next round of the Captain Morgan’s Bracketmaster Tournament presented by Spike.com, but you can still pick winners in the Elite 8 for a chance to win some great prizes. The remaining bracket is basically a consolation bracket where you pick who you think will win in the Elite 8, Final Four and Championship match up.
We think that Kelly from Ft. Lauderdale is going to win it all. She took out our girl Erica, in the Sweet 16 and it looks like she’s going to make a solid run to the final match up.
You can visit bracketmaster.spike.com to make your selections in the consolation bracket. Voting for the Elite 8 round ends this Friday. Good luck!
