With only 1 month to go, Bob Stringer has the yearlycontest all but lockedup. Ike is in second place 150 points behind, so it would take a near perfectper formance by Ike combined with an uncharactistically poor score by Bobfor there to be a new leader. However, as we all know, anything can happen.
