    Watched that '86 replay the other day. Forgot how Kite and Norman had 10-15 footers to send it to a playoff.

    One guy who knew how to win beat two guys who knew how to lose.

    Sobel says Casey's the guy. Not Phil. Not Lee.

    And I guess we can scratch off #6 on this list (Mr. Luke Donald) since he won the par-3 contest today.

    ian poulter doesn't have a lot of confidence in tiger

    "I don't think he'll finish in the top 5," Poulter said, citing Woods' play at the World Golf Championships at Doral four weeks ago.

    "The shots he was hitting at Doral, they were very inconsistent," Poulter said. "You can't afford to hit shots like that on this golf course and get away with it. I don't think you want to rely on your short game that much around this place."

    of course, this is the type of comment that would really piss tiger off and could propel him to win :lol:

    This guy has a better chance.

    Your picks are amazing. Can't believe nobody took those by the time you got to the later picks. Is that the order you picked them?

    i'm pretty sure it was an open draft where you anyone could pick any golfer ...

    in any case ... kaymer is in at +6 and Harrington is +5 ...

    Crazy day at work and didn't catch much of today's action. From what I understand, tiger had good moments and bad, the kids were awesome as were the Koreans and mickelson was all over the place off the tee. How impressive was rorys round? That kid is going to be good.

    btw if you turn it on now, you can watch phil try to save par (and almost birdie) 13 after hooking his drive WAY left

    edit: well they edited it...but he was way in the woods and had to punch out
