who wins the bridgestone?

[bigfred31]

i like cink's chances this week

[muggs]

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.

[Wisco-Kid]

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

[jrode]

I'll go with Rocco.

[Thrash13]

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.

[bogeyhitter25]

I'm going with Kenny Perry. Dude's a beast.

[BSweet]

I'm going to say Chez Reavie.

[Ben]

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.

Phill has practicing for the PGA every day for the past 2 weeks so I say this week he will shine.

[Ben]

^^ 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...

[Chilli Dipper]

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.

[TigerCurtis333]

I'm going with justin Leonard this year. He's a guy that seems to appear on the leaderboard when all the attention is on Phil and Garcia.

[MSDOGS1976]

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.

[Wisco-Kid]

Whoa! Here comes Stricker!!

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?!

[Dent]

I'm going to say Chez Reavie.

haha whaaat? sorry but that guy is like a 1 hit wonder.
