Wow, Bubba Watson at +9.

I'm not surprised. I was picking a 4 man best ball team for my ESPN challenge entry. I cautioned my Uber group to ignore "power rankings". Bubba was listed as number 1.

While we're on the subject: What in the hell do 'power rankings' have to do with an individual sport? Bubba pretty much stinks as fantasy player. Look up his 2006 stats. He missed 50% of the cuts. Even worse, he misses the cut almost exactly every other week. I would have been surprised if Matt Kuchar put up that number.

Best, Mike Elzey

Hey you leave my boy Kuchar out of this. He was top 10 in scrambling last year ;) In all sincerity I have followed him a bit off and on since he faired well as an amature at the US Open I believe.

That was a Kuchar compliment. He's not flashy but he is steady.

I was just messing around with you. You got that right steady not flashy. I think the league average is 271 in driving distance and I wouldn't be suprised to see him lower than that. He has no distance at all.

Maybe I didn't notice that winking emoticon.

I root for the guy. I first noticed him at the Masters. Since you said Open, I looked it up. He was low amateur in both in '98. Gotta root for that.

You're right about Bubba. However, last year it seemed he either missed the cut or had a high finish. As usual, it's all or nothing with him. I can't stand him in fantasy golf either but generally, in a tournament like this, I think he's a good best ball guy because he'll make his fair share of birdies and maybe even some eagles. But yeah, he's got to make the cut and clearly I was wrong about him this week. For what it's worth I took Kuchar, Gay, Ogilvie and Marino in my yahoo league this week.

I agree thats what turned me onto to him. I believe he was a Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket. I think his distance will keep him from being a top notch guy, but he has some nice ball striking at times and really has a nice short game.

Apparently you can shoot 64 without hitting it long.

Congratulations to Brian Gay on an excellent victory - ok, so it wasn't the strongest field assembled but he still had to beat the guys out there! I am sure this will do his confidence a world of good and will hope to continue this rich vein of form in subsequent events!

HI

no im not kidding Q.Q....this is the most encouraging start for JD that ive seen for som time!..he must make top 125 on the money list or else he will drop off the face of the earth

im confident that he has the ability to do this its just a question of whether he can keep his trousers on and how much he abuses himself in the next year.

Hey

Nothing wrong with being optimistic but ... this could be his year? To be honest I'm a bit discouraged with Daly's play. He's getting off to good starts then seems to crumble and get worse with each passing day. He did the same thing in the Norther Trust I think it was. Making the cut at the Majakoba Golf Classic and finishing toward the bottom isn't really a good thing. I don't think Harmon or anyone else can stop Daly from blowing up. But... if he can limit the damage a bit it would be nice to see Daly compete every once in a while.

      Yeah, watched Geoff Ogilvy's bit on Fried Egg about his conversation with some bogey golfer finding #2 most fun to play and the irony in it being so.  Makes sense.

      So, I think the idea behind it is that the ball is not perfectly smooth (obviously). So, on shorter putts, it is better to hit that point on the ball because it gets the ball into a better roll. You are not compressing the ball with a short putt, so it would act more similar to if you were hitting let's say a 100 sided dice. On longer putts, you might be compression the ball so more of the ball impacts the club face and then that single point doesn't matter.  It might be something he made up, could be a confidence thing, could be a legit thing. Maybe it matters more with how good the greens they putt on.  Also, we are talking about a single point here, and the putter face angle, path, ect.. will change a bit on each putt. So, it isn't like you are hitting that spot exactly in the same way.  Not sure it is worth the effort with so many variables in play.

      Looking at the aerial, there is very few holes were short is bad. You can always putt from off the green, so it makes the short game easier. I can see where the big number is out more often. It's not really a course where you can easily go low at either. The sand down there is super easy to play out of.

      Yeah, even Jamie doesn't really push (forward) with the right leg here, so I bumped on his use of that phrase/term early as well. They get away from it, though, and when they show the movements it's more obvious that's not what he's talking about. I sometimes wish there was a better term because, as you note, it often leads to people trying to actually "push" with their right leg.
