I hope Dustin Johnson is in the last group on Sunday......because that means a European is guaranteed to win (Gmac, Kaymer and Clarke)

For a serious answer, I'm going with Luke Donald again. He led the field in GIR at Firestone and also had the fewest dropped shots all week (3)

This is going to be a tough course.. over 7400 yr par 70.. OUCH..  A lot of carry over water on many long holes..  I wish Richie well,, BUT..  I think my favs are going to be Dustin, Ryo, Adam and Rori..  All have shown me to hit it long and straight..

Only three players have finished in the top 20 in each of the last three majors -- Stricker, Schwartzel, Yang. I'll have a $20 on each please.

These classic type courses seem to suit Rory well, so I like him.  Also, I like AK's chances.  And as a darkhorse candidate, I'll take the hometown favorite Mr. Toms.

I'm not expecting a lot of surprises this week. Players who will be in contention on the weekend will be those who have been in contention at other recent majors. Players who played well at Congressional in June, and at Firestone last week, should also play well at Atlanta Athletic Club. Take your pick of the usual suspects this year to show up on the leaderboard again:

Rory McIlroy

Luke Donald

Lee Westwood

Charl Schwartzel

Jason Day

Adam Scott

Dustin Johnson

Rickie Fowler

KJ Choi

Sergio Garcia

Davis Love III

Phil Mickelson

Matt Kuchar

...and anyone else I might have missed.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

I'd like to see Stricker pull one out. Seems like a pretty classy guy...

I will go with either Sergio or Jason Day. Woods will make the cut and finish T-48th. Wish he would get this new swing down and start dominating again (of course he would have to make some putts as well!)

I'd have to respectfully disagree with Sergio and DLIII.  Nick Watney and Striker are notable too.  and Martin Kaymer.  Although he hasn't played well lately he seems to do ok at this tournament. :-)

It's going to be hot and humid, so my pick would have to be someone who has the fitness and stamina to go along with excellent ball striking and short game skills.    With his recent focus on fitness and working with the rugby trainer, I'm going with Luke Donald.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
