The killerleft band of temporarily inept golfers:


10- Scottie Scheffler

7- Rory Milroy

7- Cameron Smith

4- Will Zalatoris

2- Talor Gooch

Some other guy will finish with the winning score of minus (-) 6

Only person to pick world #1 right now. Not a lot of love for Scottie Scheffler on DBR it seems

Didnt he miss a couple of cuts recently?

Didnt he miss a couple of cuts recently?

Cut at the PGA then second at Schwab (lost in playoff when Sam Burns rolled in a 40 footer) and T18 at RBC in two starts since. The missed cut at the PGA ended his streak of 4 straight top tens in majors. T7 at last year’s US open. I didn’t pick him so I shouldn’t be surprised that almost no one else did, but I am.

[DevilHorse]

I know that if I picked the Saudi Tour players that would curse them all, but I can't stand the thought of picking any of them.

Team rsv, thrown together in haste and sure to fail miserably:

Rory McIlroy 7
Sam Burns 6
Tony Finau 4
Abraham Ancer 3
Shane Lowry 3
Corey Connors 3
Davis Riley 2
Justin Rose 2

I think my autocorrect was trying to save my team but I didn't let it. It changed Ancer to Cancer and it changed Lowry to Lowly. Lol

I had to decide between JT and McIlroy. I had three guys down for the four-point choice: Schaufele, Zalatoris, and Finau.

I suspect JT, Xander, and Will to do very well now that I chose others. Those of you who benefit from these choices of mine, you are welcome.

Tie breaker: winner is at -6.



Post-script: my autocorrect also changed Xander to Wander, so if you have him on your team, best of luck. Wandering off the fairways is not a good idea at the US Open. 😁

It's tough to give up 10 points for one player. I've got a good feeling about this - not!

Especially on a guy who missed the cut at the last major.

[mkirsh]

We have 27 entries, which is on the high side of what we have done historically.

Last week's winner Rory and the most recent Major winner JT are the most frequent picks, followed by Zalatoris, Schauffele, and Shane Lowry to round out the top 5. LIV players were not particularly popular with our crowd, with only 2 picks for DJ and Louis (compared to 8 picks for both at the Maters and 6 for DJ at the PGA), and 1 for Phil, Gooch, and Reed.

Rory McIlroy	        18
Justin Thomas	        15
Will Zalatoris	        13

chadlee989 and CDu took the most advantage of the "round down" dynamic carrying an un-rounded 35.26 and 35.19 points on their teams, respectively.

Good luck everyone!

Morikawa goes out in 32 and Rory in 33 (par 70 course).

Guys may go LOW this US Open. Didn’t see that coming. I predicted a final score of -6 for the weekend. That looks way off currently albeit it’s early.
