Golf Pool... US Open

[rcknfrewld]

Same rules apply...those who know, know...pick winning score for tiebreaker


Pick 5 golfers...best four scores out of five win....missed cut equals 10 more pts than last place finish after cut.

Just saw I'm team tsp....regard my post with the certain gravitas it deserves damnit...

i suck at golf. i suck even worse at picking winners at golf. i hope tom opens his e store soon so i can buy one of those fancy new mugs he's got because i'll never win one playing any game that has anything to do with golf.

burro
According to sporting news U.S. Open odds ? Tiger Woods? price shortened, respect for Rory McIlroy fades - Linemakers - Sporting News
your guys would be Michael Weaver or Steven Fox at 1000-1

 

[OBGibby]

Justin Rose
Phil Mickelson
Tiger Woods
Rory McIroy
Steve Stricker

no thanks, that would be like cheating. i prefer to fail miserably on my own. i'm quite used to it by now so it hardly affects my self esteem at all anymore.

 

[burrocrat]

phil mickelson
sergio garcia
bubba watson
thorbjorn olesen
gonzalo fernandez-castano

i'm not sure about the last couple, but i think it would make for great tv if they are near the lead and the announcers have to struggle with the names for a day or two.

 

[rcknfrewld]

you're not sure about the last couple?....still laughing out loud...not as loud as when I last looked up Mitch Hedberg...
your sense of humor is so nuanced im not sure more than a handful get it...but I do

 

[rcknfrewld]

FYI...I believe this will be the shortest course to host the US Open...narrow course will not benefit long hitters....Tom...I will get my hands on that glorious much talked about, coveted, TSP mug...I bet Bubba does not break 78 in the 1st round...if he doesn't I will gladly dust off my mantle and make room...if he does break 78 I will tell you my thoughts on the market so you can go the opposite way and make some real moolah...

You mean to tell me you get 8 to 1 odds that Tiger will not win the US open...I would take that bet...Vegas must really think Eldrick is going to win

 

[ebbnflow]

Tiger Woods -- fun to watch (let the cusswords fly).
Sergio Garcia -- I can feel the tension already (has Tiger issue).
Phil Mickelson -- needs to get the magic back.
Rory McIlroy -- he knows the real golf king.
Nick Watney -- yeah, why not.
