1:29 p.m. / 7:44 a.m. - Rory McIlroy, Northern Ireland; Luke Donald, England; Lee Westwood, England

It's either Tiger or the winner comes from this pairing, and my early pick to win is Lee Westwood

It's like a USA bracket vs a Europe bracket. The two winners meet in the finals on the weekend.

At Torrey, they did it by world rankings, which was just ridiculous for galleries.

Tiger, Phil, Adam Scott (who had climbed all the way to #3 in the world at that point)

Massive galleries

I love seeing the USGA's pairings. Some of my favorites this year:

quote:

8:06 a.m. / 1:51 p.m. - Carl Pettersson, Sweden; Charl Schwartzel, South Africa; Charles Howell III, Windermere, Fla.


Carl, Charl, and Charles

quote:

8:28 a.m. / 2:13 p.m. - K. J. Choi, Korea; Y. E. Yang, Korea; K. T. Kim, Korea


Keeping the Koreans together.

I am a little disappointed that there doesn't seem to be a "best player to have never won a major" pairing.

And you know Tiger and Phil both looked at these pairings and let out a collective, "frick!"

No, they openly just do pairings for ratings, galleries, and all that good stuff now.

Tour does them by category A (winners), B(top 125), and C (rookies, q-school, etc.).

Not for the US Open. They group them how they see fit.

The PGA Tour does groupings by category that are supposed to be random.

Apparently because of the proximity of the 9th hole to the club house, they will be starting off of 9 instead of ten. Weird I know.

They still do this. Notice the McIlroy, Donald, Westwood pairing. That was just the first year they started it and it has continued since.
