Figure I'd retweet this Euro Tour tweet here, name your someone else if you have one.

I voted for "someone else" in this poll, and Rickie in the European Tour's.

I voted Rickie. Hope he gets his first one in 2018. But when he is in contention together with Tiger, I will root for Tiger.

Always take the field.  Much better odds.  I voted someone else.

I voted someone else. Right now there's some kid we either haven't heard of, or his name has been on the board here and there enough to recognize it (Cantley, i.e.). Amazing how deep the fields have become in Majors.

I picked Hideki.  I used to ride a Hodaka, which sounds kind of similar, and have a lot of Japanese power tools.

Best reasoning I've heard and seems logical :-D

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

I picked Hideki also. With your undeniable logic, no one else can even come close.

If I was making a bet it would be "someone else" - of those named I think the 2 most likely are Rahm and Rickie (and I'd vote Rickie - I like him both at Shinnecock and Bellerive)

Players play, tough players win!

Hideki. The lad's a trier so hope he gets one. Wont put a bet on though seeing as last year went t*ts-up!

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

Hideki. I think when all phases of his game are working he is one of the best players. Just needs to peak at a better time.

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

Voted Fowler but nearly voted Someone Else.  The "field" is always a good bet.

Fairways and Greens.

I voted someone else, but if I had to choose between those 4, I would take Rickie.

Agree on the field generally as a good bet. But since we aren't betting, I voted Rickie. I hope this is his breakthrough year; he certainly has the talent.

Other; Marc Leishman.

 

Good choice. Leishman is capable and under the radar.

I would love to see Fowler or Westwood take one home. However, I voted someone else because the field is too strong. Wouldn’t be surprised if a guy like Xander Schauffele gets one.

    • Day 26 (16 Feb 25) - Basically a repeat of yesterday- only it was a bit more expanded chips/pitches - 7i, 9i, 50° and 58°.   Big exception was I was hitting groups of 5 one club at a time.  Focused on a specific target point - and coming smoothly through the ball, not punchy.  Got it right about 3 out of 5 - more work needed. 
    • You probably haven't turned much and instead have just pulled your left arm across your chest.
    • Things didn’t work out with the cutting horse barn my wife was working for there in Virginia. Their Texas facility we were supposed to move down to ended up delayed for at least an extra year after they’d had us leave Virginia to meet them down there “shortly”. So we ended up getting some land by her family in Missouri and building a house of our own down here instead. Not as many courses, but there is one 5 minutes from the house that’s only $62/mo for both of us to be members at and other nicer ones within a reasonable drive as well.    @Rick_D I’ll try to remember to let you know when I’m heading up that direction. It may happen more frequently in the coming year since a dealer for a business I started recently is based out of St Charles so making deliveries myself might be more economical than shipping. 
    • I don’t know why my swing got so vertical there. That wasn’t normal.    What did you mean by point 3? I get the hip turn portion. 
    • It is. So, just 2 and 3 above now. 😄
