'When I got on the bus for my first road game at Duke, I saw that every player was carrying textbooks or laptops. I coached in the SEC for 25 years, and I had never seen that before, not even once.' - David Cutcliffe to Duke alumni in Washington, DC, June 2013
The killerleft team includes:
Justin Rose - 8
Bryson DeChambeau - 6
John Rahm - 6
Tony Finau - 4
Louis Oosthuizen - 3
Phil Mickelson - 3
I'm looking for Bryson to lead me to a glorious victory. Rahm is gonna win an Open someday. Rose is always tough.
Winning score: -12
Man, if your Mom made you wear that color when you were a baby, and you're still wearing it, it's time to grow up!
Maybe I should have gone with "Starvation Man" Mickelson instead of "Clutter Man" Spieth.

I'm staying away from "water and special coffee fast" Phil on this one
As much as I don't want to pick Koepka again as he hasn't played well recently, he came up on the euro tour, hits it low as well as anybody, and his caddie grew up playing the course. Tiger has also been a regular on my teams but his US Open performance and the long layoff have scared me away. So I ended up with:
Koepka - 10
Rory - 8
Fleetwood - 4
Oosthuizen - 3
Stenson - 3
Poulter - 2
Winning score - 12
Basically I went euro-heavy and deep vs my top-heavy teams of the past. I was mostly torn on Rory vs Molinari - I'm worried the pressure of playing at home will be overwhelming for Rory, but went with the fan pick of who I'll be rooting for (plus Poulter) vs the emotional hedge of "betting" against my preferences.
Can't believe this is the last major of the year. Going to be hard for me to adjust to the PGA being in May

State of Tiger's game, per Mr. Woods:
Uhhh... sounds pretty ready to me. Mr. Never Satisfied is satisfied with his touch around the greens. Although he is concerned with his ability hit every kind of shot with every club -- cut, draw, high, low, medium -- he did just that at the range today and wants to see one more good practice session. Well, we'll see. I am not throwing him off of the Sage team due to poor play....[T]he state of his game entering The Open at Royal Portrush is not at the same level [as at the The Masters].
"It's not quite as sharp as I'd like to have it right now," Woods said Tuesday morning after a seven-hole practice session at Royal Portrush. "My touch around the greens is right where I need to have it.
"I still need to get the shape of the golf ball a little bit better than I am right now, especially with the weather coming in and the winds are going to be changing. I'm going to have to be able to cut the ball, draw the ball, hit at different heights and move it all around. Today it was a good range session. I need another one tomorrow. And hopefully that will be enough to be ready."
