2012 Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial

[mvmac]

For years, Colonial was top dog, and the Byron Nelson played second fiddle. The Nelson’s fundraising, coupled with Byron’s presence, elevated it for a while, but now both tournaments are smack dab in the middle of the May dead zone. Most players tee it up in Charlotte the week before the Players, and many will play the Memorial next week as a U.S. Open tune-up. That leaves this week and last week as the obvious weeks off.

Want proof? Kuchar and Mahan are the only players ranked in the top 10 who are teeing it up this week in Fort Worth.

Bet that thing's got a dime-sized wear mark right in the middle of the sweet spot.

That's quite the club haha. But there are a lot of events played in Texas that I never realized before.

I saw on Twitter that Vijay Singh is playing. I've always associated him with Colonial, probably because of the Sorenstam thing.

Only 2 of the top 10 are there yes, but you must remember Wentworth is this weekend which is the biggest event of the year for the Europeans so world #1,2,3 are all playing there which is no good for Colonial either :(

I think Kevin Na will have a good week

Dufner, Kuchar, Fowler is going to be a very interesting group to watch if you ask me :) All 3 players have been on fire the past couple weeks. Just wish the BMW PGA Championship wasnt going on this weekend as well. Should be an interesting tournament to say the least!

Its going to be very interesting to see how Kevin Na does now that he has "got rid of the waggle." He supposably cut his time per shot in half with his new pre-shot routine. My guess is hes going to do horrible since he is not fully comfortable with the new routine.

I hope Na has a good week too. I like him and he seems like a nice guy, just has mental problems

[jmurder]

I am pulling for Na myself. I hope he has exorcised the demons.

[skates]

Don't forget about big JD, hes sitting at 2 under right now. I know most of this board hates him but I still got to root for him.

Na's Old Waggle - I refused to like him or root for him

Na's supposed new waggle - I respect him for the change and wish him the best.

Woooaahhh, club failure at impact, impressive

[ajst22]

Oosthuizen had another holed shot today...an eagle on the 18th. Great shot, great way to end a round.

I don't mind him. Dufner annoys me more than Na because sometimes Dufner (especially today) will just sit there for like an hour. Na will actually try to speed it up even though sometimes he fails.

Dufner isnt nearly as bad as Na was. Dufners more of 5 waggles and go. Na took that long pick out his line haha :)

There is just something about Dufner to me haha. But today Dufner took forever especially towards the end.

Really enjoyed watching the Kuchar, Duffner, Fowler group. Would have liked to see Kuchar play a little better, he's become my favorite over the past couple years. I followed him around on Sunday a couple years ago when he won at Turning Stone. You want a golf role model for your kids as far as attitude it's Matt Kuchar. Guy is always smiling and never blows his top when things get bad. Fowler is fun to watch as well as Dufner. Dufner's waggles are a bit quirky but that kid has a fantastic golf swing.

Dufner, Kuchar, Fowler, Na, Zach Johnson - all are interesting in different ways.
