My top 3:

Ryan Moore: I live 5 minutes from his home course, so he is the local hero. Also, he deserves crazy credit for rolling with no sponsors. A stand up guy IMO. I got all riled up when he was 5 under earlier today...

Bubba Watson: A lefty beast of a golfer, and self-taught at that. A real passion player, which strikes a chord with me. Youtube him for some quality time killers.

Rory Mcilroy: The guy is due. A golf swing that is a joy to watch, and he's a stand up guy with a killer start to his career, even at 21.

Who are your favorites for the weekend, and why?

Ernie, I think he's due.

Rory - He's contended in a few majors now, just needs to take the last step and win one.
Phil - 'cause I want him to be number 1.
Bubba - 'cause he's a nice guy and outragously talented.

Don't really have a favorite player, but always looking for a dramatic finish and one where it's not he who chokes least, wins.

I would say my picks would be:

Ryan Moore--I liked his attitude toward the whole sponsor ordeal
Bubba Watson--I think he will become more of a factor in tournaments after knocking out that first win
Matt Kuchar--The guy just has a great swing and plays the boring fairway to green golf that leads to great things.

I also wouldn't mind seeing Stricker win.

I'd like Tiger to be near the top, and I would be happy enough if he won, but I mostly just want him to get his game back.

Dustin Johnson - that would make up for that US Open debacle

Bubba Watson and Hunter Mahan - there really needs to be a Major Championship trophy with the name "Bubba" or "Hunter" on it. PING is taking over! Plus I'll cheer for anyone with the cojones to keep his hat and sunglasses on during an interview.

Matt Kuchar - I know he's leading, but I've been hoping for him since reading some of his comments in a GD WITB article.

Carl Pettersson - if only to be able to read the "how could a guy win a major with that putting stroke" comments.

Gregory Bourdy - win one for France, then burn a picture of Jean Van de Velde at the town square!!

A few guys I would like to see win
Kuchar - I think he could be a guy to win multiple majors and I love his swing
Els- If he won a PGA he would only need a green jacket for the career grandslam
Phil- could take number one and his 5th major
Johnson, holmes, Watson - I think these guys could all be the next big time stars on tour they just need a resume

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By iacas · Posted

      Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.

      Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
