Did anyone choose Willett in the Ping contest?

He was someone's first choice, because I couldn't use him as my second choice by the time I entered.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...

Man, the stones on Jordan. Most people would just auto-eject after that 7, but he's hanging on for dear life.

And CBS is going gaga over Spieth again. O:)

He's going to win and all the Spieth "haters" and I are going to collectively die.

Happy to stand corrected. My understanding after my putter fitting was that a large proportion of players play grips that are too narrow, with the fatter grips limiting the amount the wrists affect the putter face. Based on the number that Rory and DJ pull/push, I'd have thought this would be part of it rather than them constantly misreading them. 

I  don't think that has much to do with anything. I don't fit people's putter grips (the weight can affect things).

Two people did with their second picks.

Where? I searched for the phrase "willet" and didn't find him as anyone's first choice.

I will have if the judges will accept that "Brandt Snedeker" is a typo for "Danny Willett."  The keys are like right next to each other. :-P

I almost got the score right too!

I think DJ has more pull / push tendency, but as far as I see their common main issue at Augusta is green reading (moreso DJ) and the habit of powering putts through the break. IMO Augusta's sloped greens and pin placements on crowns and ridges punish hitting putts too firmly.

I may very well be mistaken.

If so, this may be the first time in TST prediction contest history that the winner has come down to the second choice.

This makes sense, though.  The past several majors were won by players we'd expect people to pick with a first choice.

Lee Westwood, J.B Holmes, Matthew Fitzpatrick, Soren Kjeldsen, and Daniel Berger will be pleased as they will be invited back in 2017!

Kaufman really blew it today, won't even be guaranteed a return trip next year.

We've gone to the second pick before.

And the link above was after your pick. It was one of the last several picks, in fact.

    • This was fun yesterday Tee shot plays downhill about 20yds, and it was slightly downwind plus very firm fairways. There's a creek that's about 275 to carry, so about 255-260 flat carry, carried that easily and got about 60yds or so of roll. Having 9i from the fairway into a 518yd par 5 is a fun way to play golf. That is probably the longest drive I have ever hit.  Hit the 9i onto the green and 2 putted for an easy birdie. 
    • LFG!!! I luuuuv Mammy-boy...
    • Yeah Sedge is so much fun. I shot a 77(Par 68) out there, and then shot a 77(par 73) the next day at Mammoth. I should have shot a 75 at Mammoth but somehow took a double on 17 after my drive left me 100 yards from the green. Sedge is a decent challenge. Mammoth is too easy, but still pretty. My buddy is a 25 handicap roughly so that is why we played there.
