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.

      Etsu Golf Equipment - Airport Handling

      ETSU men’s golf receives apology from Delta Airlines after baggage mishandling video goes viral SAN DIEGO, Calif. (WJHL) — The East Tennessee State University (ETSU) men’s golf team has received an apology from Delta Airlines after a video that has over 5 million views showed staff haph… I feel for the team! 15 years ago I changed planes in Atlanta on my way to Las Vegas. With a window seat on the Hartsville tarmac I could see my golf bag, in a hard case, tossed onto the conveyor belt, and overhang the edge, to the cargo section. As it rose, I saw it fall off from about 20’. Couldn’t see the impact. When I landed and retrieved the case, it was destroyed but the clubs were okay!   When I filed a claim with Delta they put me through an administrative nightmare and I finally gave up. Still have that case in my attic!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Day 147: 5/22/24 Stack Training Full Speed Spectrum session 15/24. Hit my high speed for this program and tied my highest speed ever for a session. This is a speed I have hit 4 other times in the past year. Hotter temperatures have been good for me and speed has improved. On my last day in my fifties, I was happy with tonight’s performance.  Looking forward to Friday’s session.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 4zim ·

      Day 69. Few mins working on standard putt length followed by impact technique practice. Got to what I think was a good place, took a 10 min break and came back but wasn’t able to repeat it.
