WGC-CA Championship at Doral

[JetFan1983]

This one should be good. This field is always such a beast. Anyone got any crazy predictions for this one? I feel like Mickelson bounces back and lets everyone know he's still a freak. Not exactly a "crazy prediction" since he is defending champion, but a prediction nonetheless.

Quiros is a lock, he is ecstatic about being where English is a second language. His long knock will serve him well.
Of course Camilo says the area is just like being in Columbia, (now there is a complement all American cities can aspire to), so he may continue his roll.

Nice start by Kuchar. Two under after 1 hole!

Four hours of golf watching today!

goot go w my boy Rory Mac...hoopefully Fowler stepps up to
im a fan of the young kids

[JetFan1983]

Unfortunately, there's no Fowler this week. The field consists of (per Wikipedia):

Top 50 players from the Official World Golf Rankings (one week and two weeks prior to event)
Top players from member tours' money lists or orders of merit (from last complete season)
Top 30 PGA Tour FedEx Cup list (also top 10 from one week prior to event)
Top 20 European Tour (also top 10 from two weeks prior to event)
Top 2 each from Asian Tour, Japan Golf Tour, PGA Tour of Australasia, and Sunshine Tour
The field will consist of approximately 70 eligible players, half that (144 to 156 players) for most regular PGA Tour events. Because of the limited field, there is no 36-hole cut.

I would have to disagree. Phil is a train wreck waiting to happen. I think his ability is only exceeded by Tiger, but mental part of his game is one of the weakest on tour.

Looking at the leader board just now, with Allenby on top, it's possible he could pull it off. He's been playing well as of late. Hard to believe he hasn't won yet.

He's had a tendency to fade down the stretch in 2010, basically like he's had for the last decade. Still, opening a tournament with a 30 through nine holes is what it is.

I'll be glad to see Allenby fall by the wayside. He didn't show much class a last years Presidents Cup. Throwing jabs at AK then getting his butt whooped by him.

Wrong on so many levels...Kenny Perry wearing white shoes & a white belt...like the bald guy driving a Vette

im glad to see luke donald playing good golf again. looks like hes finally fully recovered.

[JetFan1983]

It's awesome to see Ernie get off to a fast start. He's 4 under and only 1 shot off the lead through 12 I believe.

[mcfc_nick]

I'm amazed Allenby got to -8 in those conditions. I was playing simultaneously at my course not too far away and the wind was brutal. Relocated my visor three or four times. We were guessing Doral scores and most of us thought 68 would lead.

Doral needs those winds. Otherwise there are only a handful of challenging holes for the top pros, basically 3, 4, 13 and 18. Doral really needs to strengthen at least two holes. I would carve out some land on 9, for one thing, to bring the water into play.

In South Florida there literally could be a handicap adjustment based on what time of day you play. I'm always stuck in afternoon when the conditions are often similar to Doral today. Mornings are almost always docile. I hate that Doral is moving the tee times up severely tomorrow. That will enable lower scores. They are worried about afternoon showers but the real impact will be lack of breeze.

Count me as one who could think of no one else I'd rather see win than Ernie Els. -8 total so far today and in the lead, or last I checked.
