Doing the same pool as every year, pick 4, if 2 miss the cut you're out, cumulative score of your top 3 is used.

1-9: Jon Rahm
2-22: Daniel Berger

Dusty-John went number one overall about 6 hours before his incident.

Four of those five were gone by my 2nd pick. Only Woodland remains.

Cool temps and wind early on could shuffle things up a bit. I got Sergio by 5 strokes

Yeah we only got six people.

Not in a pool, but I predict either Spieth, Bubba or Matsuyama win it this year.

And I hope Danny Willett finishes dead last.

Hadwin's 75 might not look so bad in a few hours. Tough conditions out there.

Does anyone really believe Dustin Johnson's "Oh, I was wearing wet socks and slipped on the hardwood stairs" story?

Because I sure don't...reminds me too much of things like Jeff Kent "washing my truck" (was actually out riding a motorcycle), or Brian Griese "tripping over the dog" (he was hammered and fell down in the driveway) or Kaz Sasaki "tripped over suitcase" (was running away from his wife who was irate of his philandering).

Thanks for the Hadwin pick, fellas.

I believe it. If it's not true the story he made up is pretty elaborate.
I'd have been more skeptical if he didn't show up and try to warm up.

My tyrell Hatton pick was beautiful.

It's awesome.

I bet $10 on Tyrrell Hatton who barely beat the re-animated corpse of Sandy Lyle. I've made better bets.

Nothing personal Charley, but it's time to put a few in the drink.

Pruitt · Post by **Pruitt** » Sat Apr 08, 2017 4:38 pm

Is that the beginning of the end for Garcia?

Nah, you gotta root for a guy who looks like a surfer to win the most uptight pro golf event in the world.

I'd sure love to hit a few shots out of the Augusta pine straw.

Really looking forward to final round. Excited to see this final grouping. I think they will play well together. But lots of talent lurking. I expect someone 2-3 shots back to post a 67 and put pressure on them. Best tournament every year.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Sat Apr 08, 2017 10:44 pm

Very interested to see how rory attacks. If he can get through #6 at one under (2 under for event) he could make some noise.

Those first few holes dictate a lot.

Did my usual Augusta E/W bets this year and did not think twice about putting down a few £ for a couple of outsiders having ridden the Danny Willett train last year (E/W at 80-1). I put my bets in on Wednesday night, not knowing about DJ's injury and then the odds all changed overnight as that news came in.

This year I assumed I would be much more relaxed watching things pan out. Usually my bets miss the cut or are all done by Saturday. Willett was very much the exception...

Matsuyama (25-1), Mickleson (35-1) and Leishman (80-1) made the cut but offer nothing on Sunday, but Garcia at 50-1 and Hoffman at 200-1 have me biting my finger nails a little bit.

If Hoffman makes the top 6, even the each way bit (1/4 of the odds) means a nice little holiday. Either of those guys winning would be great, but right now, I would take both of them finishing in the top 6.

I assume the winner will come from Rose, Spieth or Scott, but like I said, top 6 will do me right now...

If I had no money involved, I would love Westwood to finally win a major. Putting will always kill him (as I fear, it will also do for Sergio) and you can not win at Augusta on Sunday without great putting.

I keep saying "Sergio" out loud to the dogs (who are asleep) in a terrible accent.

This tournament should never end.
