Cink is a good bet. I'll go with Furyk.

I actually live about 30 minutes from Firestone and wen the last two years...can't make it this year. I'm pretty bummed.

Cink is a really good bet. Kenny Perry has a shot, but Ill go with AK.

Jim Furyk is the first name that comes to mind this week and next week. He had a slow start to 2008 for his standards, but he is starting to find his game as of late. He could be a major factor this week and next week as well.

Tiger pretty much owns this tournament and course so I'll go with him. Oh wait, he's not playing?? when did that happen??...in that case I'll go with Anthony Kim or Kenny Perry. Can't argue with how they both have played this year.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

I think this is too big a test for Perry to win. He has been quite dominant on tour this year, but, this field is DEEEEEEP. I htink he's tapped out for competitive energy. AK, it could go either way. That bogey bogey finish last week could fire him up in a good way, I am however, betting on a not so good way. I really like the guy though.

I'm placing my money (literally) on Geoff Ogilvy.

I'll jump onboard with this , too.

AK has so much game and is displaying talent that is unreal. If he can get the putter hot at the same time his ballstriking is on then we'll see some unbelievable performance....like he did on the back nine last Saturday, I believe, for the 29. I'd watched him through the first 2 holes and was cringing...hating to see him drop out of contention like that. I had to leave and go out for a couple hours but came back in time to see the scores posted and could not believe his recovery.

^^ Unfortunately for Phil, that has been his practice routine for every major for the past few years. Hard dedication for the 2 weeks prior. He has got a Masters out of it...

It won't be Kim: he's had a great July, but I imagine he's a little drained after finishing strong in national opens on both sides of the Atlantic in consecutive weeks. He'll be using this weekend to get ready for Oakland Hills.

The winner will be an Aussie. Which one, I don't quite know yet.

Well as I type this, looks like Goosen is in pretty good form. Nice weather for the guys today. I've got to get up that way one year and go watch the event. Beautiful course and one I have enjoyed seeing on tv going all the way back to the old CBS golf classic.

Question for the Ohio guys here.......is it possible to play the course? I'm guessing it's totally private with very little chance for the average Joe to get on.

Firestone is a private track. Luckily for me, my course and there are owned by the same company. I could play it if I were in town.

Anyone notice how few people in the gallery today? Come on, it was gorgeous out there, with the top pros in town. What's wrong with you Ohioans?!

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂
