Vijay's putter will likely keep him out of the winner's circle. Lee Westwood has been playing well and could be a factor. Kenny Perry may have peaked too early in the season. And Hunter Mahan? The less said the better. Cut. I like Phil to be in the hunt but am not sure he can finish it off on Sunday. Vijay's putter will likely keep him out of the winner's circle.

He's called himself "too dumb" or "dumb" or "just a stupid redneck" or whatever several times, so I'm essentially quoting Boo on himself. Let's lighten up - I don't think Boo would take any offense.

While Erik may have met him, I have not. However, even if I had met him and shared Erik's opinion, I would never call a respected golfer "dumb" in a public forum like this. Boo Weekley is a great golfer and gives a very entertaining interview. He is good for the game.
