I know I may be one of only a few people who actually like Monty. From the interviews and coverage I've seen of him I think he's actually a like-able guy and gets a bad wrap. He shot a 69 yesterday and today with having jet lag and I feel all he needs is another good round like hes had and he may ride the rush from the recent win at Dunhill Links.

Of course I'll admit, he wasn't my initial pick when the Amex started. I was hoping for Garcia so I guess I wouldn't be too disappointed if he won either.

Also, it would be nice to see Daly pull this one off given that his exempt status is getting close to limbo right now.

But I'm sticking to my guns now and saying Monty will pull this one off *gulp*

I think JD will qualify by "top 125" or something. Yeah, he will, he's 77th. No problems there.

Monty, well, I went against him because he's never won on U.S. soil and because he had a good first round but has been playing only so so since then.

Tiger, well, I picked him because of the opposite: he's dominated WGC events.

Sergio's putter won't hold up. It rarely does, so betting it won't is usually a safe bet. JD will do okay, but I think Tiger will have the willpower to outduel him.

I'm voting Daly as the playoff is about to start... LOVE THIS!

Woohoo! Sorry it had to end that way, though. Would have preferred to see a birdie win it.

That's the 2nd time big John has lost a play off this year isn't it? He choked against Vijay earlier this year too. Poor old Monty couldn't buy a putt today if a couple would have dropped for him - who knows?

Yikes! That wasn't pretty.

I feel bad for Daly because he three-putted twice in his last four holes. But on the other hand, he is going to have to learn how to close the deal. Tiger definitely don't have a problem getting the job done when it counts.

Good tournament though.

He bombed it past Tiger the second time they played 18, though. And then Tiger had a tap-in until it drew back...

I wrote my summary of the tournament but it's not published yet. The site is having some minor issues right now.

Monty and Garcia were almost never a factor after the front nine.

Here it is . Not so subtle, I guess...

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
