U.S. Open
Looking forward to this week. Since I didn't make it in this year, we can find others worth a few bucks at long odds.
Las Vegas Hotel Superbook Odds: Carl Petterson 100/1 (just a gut feeling, though it could be gas) Ernie Els 60/1 (Playing much better this year, than last year. 2 time winner of US Open) Kyle Stanley 125/1 (Fantastic iron game and with small greens, just getting hot with the putter will make him dangerous. He could also shoot 78-78 and be trunk slamming on Friday afternoon) Joe Durant 12-1 field bet on this sight but saw him at 125/1 on another. (Tours best ball striker. Like Stanley, all he needs is a warm/hot week with his putter and he could surprise.) |

One of my favorite events to watch. I love seeing who can stand up to the adversity the USGA set-up gives them. These guys are so used to shredding tour courses, some can't deal with shooting over par very well.
I like Jason Dufner's attitude. "To be honest I've been a little disappointed in the setup the last couple of years," Dufner says. "I'd like to see longer, thicker rough. I want it to be as hard as possible. That takes half the field out of it right away because they'll be bitching about it and already beaten mentally. I don't care how hard it is, it's not going to bother me." http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vau...9972/index.htm Seems Bubba is not happy.... "As of right now, I don't like it,'' reigning Masters champion Bubba Watson said after getting his first look at the course. "I don't want to come out here and shoot 80.'' http://www.tampabay.com/sports/golf/...olfers/1235145 |

Any of your scores from the Michigan trip put you in contention?

He completely talked himself into that round. Mental midget today.

Another high school kid did quite well today, though. Beau Hossler shot even par and is T-7th.

Westwood just hit the 2nd worst tee shot (18th hole) with an iron that I have ever seen a tour pro make
Wow, that was awful. |

The first round of the Open furthers my opinion that the world golf rankings are nearly meaningless. The top 3 shoot +17.
I truly hope TW wears the place out, and guys like Watney & Stanley finish top 10.

OK, what was the worst one? The shanked 2 iron OB at the 88 British Open by Steve Lowery?

Tiger playing very smart golf the first two rounds, had some bad breaks and missed some short putts but sure looks like himself finally.

Impossible to pick the winner with one round to go. Double bogies can happen anywhere at Olympic. My hunch says Dufner or McDowell.
My heart wants Hossler. Kevin I'm playing 5/6 days a week now, fills up my time these days since Nancie passed away, but not playing very well.

I picked Webb for the Masters. If he wins this tournament...look out. He's the next one.

68-68 on the weekend at that golf course is phenomenal.

His wife looks great for 7 months. All American portrait right there. Hope these two don't ruin it for him. Furyk especially. He's hacked it all day.
