You mean that guy that currently sits atop the Fed Ex Cup standings?

I'll take Donald to break through. Better question is...who's getting up at 3 AM to watch it live?

Cinderella story. Outta nowhere. A former greenskeeper, now, about to become the <Open> champion.

Carl Spackler


But on a serious note, I'm going with the man whose destiny is to win the Open, Serg!!!!

Definitely...just hitting the fairway isn't enough. You have to hit the right spot in the fairway to keep the ball out of the rough and especially the pot bunkers. Lots of complaints coming from the players early on, but frick 'em...this is major championship golf. It's not supposed to be fun.

Winds are supposed to blow tomorrow upwards of 30 mph. Talk is the R&A might be moving tees up just to make fairways reachable. I know I sound like an arse, but I love watching these guys struggle in conditions like that.

Watching Norman a few years ago hitting punch 6 irons from 100 yards was great

Love watching the shot making in the wind

I'm gonna go with the defending champ, Louis O. He absolutely dominated this tournament last year and nobody seems to be talking about him.

Who you got?




My fantasy roster:

A-list
Lee Westwood.
Bench: Nick Whatney

B-list
Charl Schwartzel & Ian Poulter
Bench: Steve Stricker & Retief Goosen

C-list
Freddie Jacobsen
Bench: Rory Mcilroy

I took Westwood over Donald just on a gut feeling. Westwood sounded like he liked this course more.

I'm not crazy about any of my B-list picks. I think they all make the cut though and hopefully one or two will compete. Stricker is my least favorite out of the group even though he's on fire.

C-list
Live Freddie as a dark horse. Dudes game is tight right now. He putts lights out and he already has a top 5 on this course. Rory for obvious reasons.
