Want to pick Jason Day @ PGA Champ, but his back and mental issues give me pause.

Rickie Fowler was right there.....and then the Green Mile happened. And once again, in another major, Rickie Fowler is gonna come up empty again, but yet some people want to anoint him as one of the best players in the world. I like the kid and all, but from a golf perspective, let's please give up this dream that this kid is the next big thing. He is Andy Roddick Pt. 2.

Yeah Rickie is overrated for sure. I bet on him this week and he does what Rickie does. He doesn't make the clutch par putt and makes a double late when he has no business doing so. I think he is great for the game and a great person, but he seems to play scared to me. Part of it for me was when I went to round 4 of the Phoenix Open a few years ago when he laid up from 240 on a par 5. He had to hit no more than a SW and it rubbed me wrong.

I just don't think Fowler has 'it'

He's the 10th ranked player in the OWGR... he IS one of the best in the world.  Don't take away his talent simply because he hasn't won a major yet.  I don't think anyone in the last 4-5 years has called him "the next big thing" either, seems as though you're the one keeping that alive.

I like Day well enough, but it was painful to watch his finishing quad, along with the incredulous commentators (before Day's 2nd shot). IIRC Faldo even said something like 'this is going to be entertaining.' Ouch...

I think JD definitely did better than expectations. I mean his 3rd round hole 18 was a major f*** up, but otherwise he played well enough to stay in it. No real health looking issues. I'd say mentally, he was ok. Game plan terrible, but ability to keep his head on straight, good. He'll be back in it for this years playoffs.
