There's a guy named David Byrne, psycho killer, haha.

Fred Funk's son

Lee Janzen

Paul Casey, Tim Clark - didn't think they needed to qualify

K.J. Choi - Aw crap, I picked him in the contest. He's gotta qualify?

Casey needs to qualify for pretty much everything in the US because he has done so little over there because of injuries. He won't need to qualify for the Open in the UK because he's been a top-ten finisher in that a couple of times. (I actually have a bet on him for that at 80/1, because a couple of weeks ago I noticed he was coming back to form, and I'm pleased to say his odds have shortened considerably following his performance at the Memorial). I hope he does qualify for the US Open and that he does well. He's a great ball-striker, and has a reputation for being a really nice guy, and he's had a tough time.

The more I practise, the luckier I hope to get.

Quite a few of big names, hoping KJ can qualify and several other names such as Duval, Weir, Leonard, and David Toms

It looks like KJ won't qualify :( and it appears that the us open qualifying leaderboard is broken, duvals been stuck at -3 and not started round two for a few hours. Justin Leonard did qualify though, so that's nice.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
