Expert Picks: Deutsche Bank Championship
Expert Fantasy selections Projected champion
Rob
Bolton
Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson
Adam Scott, Tiger Woods
Tiger
Woods
The top four in my Power Rankings. Back injury notwithstanding, I’ve saved my last two starts for Woods for this week and the finale.
Mike
McAllister
Jason Day, Zach Johnson
Steve Stricker, Tiger Woods
Jason Day
Expect Day to start strong Friday -- his first-round scoring average at TPC Boston in his last four starts is 66.5. I think he's playing well enough to carry that momentum the rest of the week.
Chris
Dunham
Jason Dufner, Jim Furyk
Brandt Snedeker, Tiger Woods
Brandt
Snedeker
As of my selecting of this lineup, no one had picked Snedeker as one of their four and that's just fine with me. His recent form has been down and there are health concerns but the reigning #FedExCup champion loves this track and I expect him to return to form after nearly a full week away from competitive golf.
Ryan
Smithson
Phil Mickelson, Adam Scott
Webb Simpson, Tiger Woods
Tiger
Woods
The 2006 Deutsche Bank champion will be motivated after finishing just one stroke behind Barclays winner Adam Scott last week.
John
Schwarb
Keegan Bradley, Jim Furyk
Phil Mickelson, Adam Scott
Keegan
Bradley
Can't see him going winless this season, so put me down for a crowd-pleasing victory at TPC Boston. Bradley faded over the weekend at The Barclays but a course-record (for one day) 63 on Friday shows he's in good form overall.
Helen
Ross
Zach Johnson, Phil Mickelson
Adam Scott, Steve Stricker
Zach
Johnson
With top-10s in his last five starts, Johnson is a victory waiting to happen. He's rested after serving as best man at his brother's wedding and has lots to play for with the FedExCup and Presidents Cup on his mind.
Bill
Cooney
Rory McIlroy, Phil Mickelson
Tiger Woods, Adam Scott
Rory
McIlroy
It's his time to shine.
Anne
Detlefsen
Tiger Woods, Adam Scott
Rickie Fowler, Keegan Bradley
Adam Scott
The Masters champ is playing well enough to win a second Playoffs event. Why not go back-to-back and win in Boston?
Bryan
Mullen
Jason Day, Rory McIlroy
Adam Scott, Steve Stricker
Rory
McIlroy
The defending champ appears to be working out of his funk and will feel comfortable this week. He finished T19 last week at The Barclays, which included a 65 on Friday. In his previous event, he finished T8 at the PGA Championship.
John
Swantek
Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy
Adam Scott, Tiger Woods
Rory
McIlroy
His game has shown signs of life the last two starts and he can salvage what has been a lost season with a strong run in the Playoffs. The defending champ capitalizes on the chance.
Brian
Wacker
Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson
Rickie Fowler, Rory McIlroy
Phil Mickelson
Not only does Mickelson arrive off a final-round 65 last week, he won here in 2007 and has finished in the top 10 at TPC Boston each of the last two years. A win here will add his name to the Player of the Year mix.
Sean
Martin
Jason Day, Phil Mickelson
Adam Scott, Webb Simpson
Adam
Scott
The winner of last week's The Barclays has finished no worse than eighth in his past three appearances at TPC Boston. He has to be the favorite.
Amanda
Balionis
Rickie Fowler, Zach Johnson
Tiger Woods, Graham DeLaet
Graham DeLaet
Coming off a final round 65 at the Barclays, and a week which included 2 rounds where he didn't miss a fairway, the Canadian is playing consistent golf and his confidence is high. Oh, and how can you bet against the playoff beard?

I hope Stenson takes it. Dude is a class act. I watched him and Colsaerts play KJ and Charlie Wi yesterday at the NB3 Foundation event. Tiger pulled out of the event due to injury, and Gary Woodland played in his absence. Interestingly enough, Tiger played in the pro-am today in Boston.

Can someone tell Phil he has 3 more days of play left? Save some birdies for the other days, man.

I wrote this bit about the front nine a TPC Boston about a year ago: http://thesandtrap.com/b/profiles/nine_holes_with_the_front_nine_at_tpc_boston It's a pretty cool course. Definitely a lot of birdie chances.

Of course, as you know, Phil started on the back nine. And promptly bogeyed #1 (with Tiger). Then eagled #2.

I know. That's why I didn't say something like, "Read me describe all those holes Phil just birdied." I checked first. ;-)

You people are crazy. WTF Phil is imploding by not shooting  a 59? Hope that stupid joking around.

That was an impressive 63. I think he wins this weekend.

Think about it. He SHOULD have won the US Open. So really he should have TWO majors this year. And now....maybe the FedEx Cup too!

Player of the year, hands down Phily Mick baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.
    • Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.   
    • No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death. 
    • Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area? 
    • I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
