I hope Dustin Johnson is in the last group on Sunday......because that means a European is guaranteed to win (Gmac, Kaymer and Clarke)

For a serious answer, I'm going with Luke Donald again. He led the field in GIR at Firestone and also had the fewest dropped shots all week (3)

This is going to be a tough course.. over 7400 yr par 70.. OUCH..  A lot of carry over water on many long holes..  I wish Richie well,, BUT..  I think my favs are going to be Dustin, Ryo, Adam and Rori..  All have shown me to hit it long and straight..

Only three players have finished in the top 20 in each of the last three majors -- Stricker, Schwartzel, Yang. I'll have a $20 on each please.

These classic type courses seem to suit Rory well, so I like him.  Also, I like AK's chances.  And as a darkhorse candidate, I'll take the hometown favorite Mr. Toms.

I'm not expecting a lot of surprises this week. Players who will be in contention on the weekend will be those who have been in contention at other recent majors. Players who played well at Congressional in June, and at Firestone last week, should also play well at Atlanta Athletic Club. Take your pick of the usual suspects this year to show up on the leaderboard again:

Rory McIlroy

Luke Donald

Lee Westwood

Charl Schwartzel

Jason Day

Adam Scott

Dustin Johnson

Rickie Fowler

KJ Choi

Sergio Garcia

Davis Love III

Phil Mickelson

Matt Kuchar

...and anyone else I might have missed.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...

I'd like to see Stricker pull one out. Seems like a pretty classy guy...

I will go with either Sergio or Jason Day. Woods will make the cut and finish T-48th. Wish he would get this new swing down and start dominating again (of course he would have to make some putts as well!)

I'd have to respectfully disagree with Sergio and DLIII.  Nick Watney and Striker are notable too.  and Martin Kaymer.  Although he hasn't played well lately he seems to do ok at this tournament. :-)

It's going to be hot and humid, so my pick would have to be someone who has the fitness and stamina to go along with excellent ball striking and short game skills.    With his recent focus on fitness and working with the rugby trainer, I'm going with Luke Donald.

      Of course. I've used different words to start, but like 90-95% of the time it's been this one. And I'm unlikely to switch now.

      Angle is not a factor. I hit the ball 100’ high. Par is net birdie. My CH is 16. The rough between the bunkers is like 10’ wide though. That’s not something you’re going to try to hit on purpose. Most of the area to the left of that is fescue/native vegetation and I’m pretty sure there isn’t a flat lie in any of it. It’s the second hole.

      Hello all.  I'm about to be 57 yrs old, started playing when I was 16, and have quit and restarted the game more times than I can count.  I had started playing a weekly round with a friend, and finally made the jump to Senior A shafted Tour Edge clubs.  Instantly gained 10 yds with an easier swing (why didn't I make that jump sooner???).  Glad to be a part of the group. Cheers all,

      I think I like this hole.  It is a clear "Risk-Reward" choice.  Since most of the shots in your cone cleared the bunkers I would say they are a minor risk and not a big issue.  Playing the aggressive line may give you 70ish yards in from what looks to be playable rough while conservative play is 120ish from fairway.  I know you said 70 vs 120 is minor for you but how does the approach angle in impact your results?  I figure both strategies are playing for Birdie since holing out from either is mostly luck. Looking at your proximity hole I think it says @ 50 feet when hitting from the fairway from 100-150 and 40 feet if hitting 50-100 from the rough.  Neither of those is an easy birdie putt.   I like the approach angle from the rough between the bunkers & the adjacent tees over the angle from @ 120 in the fairway but I really do not like the idea of hitting onto the adjacent tee boxes and that may impact my confidence with making the shot.  Also, too far left may be a worse approach angle then from the fairway short of the bunkers. For me this may come down to how confident do I feel when I reach that tee box.  If I am stroking it well off the tee leading up to the hole I would try for over the bunkers and the better angle in but if I am struggling that day I would likely opt for the fairway to take more bad stuff out of play.
