Tiger is always a safe bet but I'm sticking with Donald from my earlier prediction. "Luke Donald Golf" will get the job done!

I think Phil will take it, but I'm hoping Goosen will, I love watching that guy play golf. When he's on, he is the best in the world(i.e. when he won at Shinnecock).

Tiger will play poorly the first day, and then roar back with three straight rounds in the 60's to win by two strokes at 1 over par.

Thoughts on the Course: Not too sure about the course but I hear the ROUGH will be something to talk about. Can wait to see it on TV.

Winner and Score: No question in my mind, Tiger Woods > Even Par

Dark-Horse Winner: Jay Haas, not sure why, but he made the ESPN Fantasy Golf team so why not!!!!

Biggest Disappointment:I dont see Vijay making the cut!!!!

Largest Surprise: Someone not in this weeks "Bunkers Dozen" making a run on the final day!!!!!

Bonus Pick: I will go with Furyk on this as he is a proud member of the ESPN Fantasy team as well!!!

Afer Sunday, my picks will be the Monday morning "water cooler" conversational piece!!!!!

My long shot bet is on Vijay. He was slumping for a while, but looked good last weekend - I think he'll break the trend and fianlly get US Open title - probably his last chance too...

Vijay could be right there. Goosen is tough. Els could very well make a come back. Tiger is always a threat to win and right now Phil is the best player in the world.

I gotta go with Phil. Sounds simple but it'll probably come down to who stays in the fairway/first cut the most and who's short game is going. Putting wins tourneys and you have to like the chances of the best putter in the game--Phil.

Starts iin 15 minutes!!!

Well, as I said in the staff predictions, I'm sticking with Jim Furyk. The decision looks good so far, as he is Even through 14 holes. He looked fine when I saw him this morning, but that rough could wear him down as the weekend rolls along.

It's just shocking to see so many players struggling badly. Toms +8, Goosen +4, DL3 +7, Leonard +6, Immelman +7, etc. etc. etc. And Luke Donald at +8 is crazy!!!

It's going to get very ugly!

Furyk at -1. Phil just drained a birdie put from about 15 to get to even. I think Veejah is still even or +1

This is the crew we want to see playing well. Tiger's off in a bit.

Yep, Furyk just finished at Even for the first day. That's what I picked for him to win the tournament, so all he needs is three more 70s.

I honestly think three more 70s might get the job done.

I agree although Tiger hasnt teed off yet. Phil just finished at even as well. Veejah, Weir, Montey, etc. all about to finish right around there (+1 right now).

Good stuff.

Luke Donald Golf™ beat out Lee Janzen Golf™, Tadd Fujikawa Golf™, Olin Browne Golf™, Brett Quigley Golf™, and Tom Pernice Jr. Golf™, not to mention David Toms Golf™ and tied Sergio Garcia Golf™ and Tom Lehman Golf™.

I'm just somewhat happy Jay Haas beat Tiger Woods today.

    • First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.
    • Day 118 - Spent some time working on the full swing. Need to film some swings for Evolvr tomorrow. 
    • playing with cleveland hybrid irons have friends that use hybrids anyone using hybrid irons or hybrids would appreciate fwwdback
    • I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory. 
    • Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
