11 entries so far and not one person has picked the number 2 player in the world and reigning PGA player of the year. Interesting.

That is interesting, and I just didn't want to "spend" 9 points on him.

You trying to win a golf pool or a game of Scrabble?

LOL. Whatever it takes. I didn't overthink my picks. Once I got past Rose and Phil I was winging it. Aphibarnrat is one of my favorite words... oops, wrong thread!

[rsvman]

I'm in.

Rahm. 7
McIlroy. 7
Reed. 5
Harman. 3
Oosthuizen. 3
Finau. 3
Snedeker. 2

Winning score -9

[mkirsh]

My top heavy picks:

DJ (9)
Rose (8)
Day (6)
Phil (4)
Tiger (2)

Winning score: -4

Leaving a point on the table, but don't feel great about upgrading Day to Rory, or Tiger to someone like Tony Finau. Game on!

I have been hearing that the greens were looking really fast. We are getting some light rain in NY today, which might slow things down a little bit. Forecast is for low-mid 80s and sunny all weekend. I've also been hearing that they are expecting horrible traffic out there, particularly with the nice weather forecast meaning that the beach crowd will be out in the Hamptons for the weekend - that far out on Long Island, it narrows down to very few roads. Apparently Tiger thought ahead and is staying on his huge yacht very close to the course.

Kinda tight quarters, it's merely 155 feet in length.

With water hazards on every side....and probably some comely young things in 5 inch heels too....most mega yachts seem to have those standard equipment.

Surprised to see "the Bads" playing that well....and I almost took Schwartzel on a flier...

Whine Watch: Tiger fearful too much traffic in area, players could miss tee times. Must rev up Lamborghini a few minutes early!
