The Great Open

[cold]

The Canadian Open is this week..

are you excited?

I think I'm going to go watch, which will be the first time I've ever seen pros play. It'll be interesting to see what their shots look like.

I watched last year when Mike Weir lost it down the stretch, I was hoping he'd pull it out him being a Canuck and all.

seriously, why bother with posts like this? (even if theyre jokes)

The sad thing is a lot of people are saying this for real, despite being the 3rd oldest championship on the PGA Tour.

Hey, I was nice....see the flag???

I always enjoy watching The Canadian Open. I always pull for Mike Weir to win because it would be extra special to him or any other Canadian to win their national championship.

Also, I'll be keeping my eye on Ryan Moore and CHIII as usual. It's a nice bonus to have Jim Furyk in the field too.

The tournament is actually shaping up quite nicely.

ahah! yes indeed, very impressive actually

oh dont mind me, i guess the rain in these parts must be making me grumpy (but i do stand by my intial point) But yeah the field looks great and Hamilton CC (Ancaster) is really a great old layout, much like Westchester CC. Should be a great event

Let's get back on topic guys. Canada and the U.S. are both great places.

Who is everyone here picking to win this weekend in Canada?

[Madriver]

I would have to beleive Mike Weir is favored given his performance at the PGA

rats! thats indeed does trump all! aha ok.. you win..this round anyways! ;)

id love to see how jim furyk can do. i think the course might set up well for him id love to weirsy take it, but after folding a little too easily at the PGA, im not gonna hold my breath, but agreed, it would be great

Mike Weir is a "home" (radius within 100 miles) favourite. :P

I was hoping to see John Daly but he won't be there, nor will DiMarco.

I think Fred Funk (a former local here) is playing....Go Fred..
