Rory Mcilroy- he typically goes crazy low on Thursday and struggles on Fridays and as we know steadies the ship to usually win big events
Dustin Johnson- Most physically talented player in the game and is trending to win and I believe he's playing with a focus now more so than ever before.
Justin Rose- Always has a good chance to win if the winning score does not get past double digits. Great day in day out ball striker and player. Putting will tell the truth about his play this week IMO
Martin Kaymer- Trending every week of high level play. Has the go to fade every shot and has that championship short game to go with it.
Sang Moon Bae- Great swing and player that is trending as well. This is a ball strikers course and this man is just that and a lot more. Experience may determine play, but if not I believe he will be right there
Russell Henley- Main reason is because I believe in patterns and he's the defending champ and this confidence will return as soon as he arrives to tee it up Thursday. Last year opening day he shot 64, who knows he's a great putter and streaky player which proves on the PGA Tour to be a great combo
Early Predictions:
Rory- MC
DJ-MC
JR-MC
MK-Made cut barely
RH- Made cut barely
My predictions were junk this week and I would be the first to say so however, I've picked the winner every week this year except last week.
Weekend Predictions
Front Runner: Patrick Reed- He's striping it and played on Thursday and Friday in by far the worst conditions than the other leaders
Mid Runner: Luke Donald- Steadily picking away and it's really hard for this man to make bogey, only if his driver leaves him will he struggle
Long shot: Paul Casey- This man used to be one of the best week in and week out and he's trending towards that again. Look for him to move into position on the last 9 holes of this tournament
This week was truthfully a luck of the draw, the reason I say this is that if you got trapped by the weather on your tee time it was almost impossible to play well, not impossible though, ala PR
It's been a very hard tournament to watch as a fan because the delays have made it boring and as a fan you can get the momentum of watching players make runs in either direction.
Regardless, it's Golf and it always has been and always will be my favorite sport to watch on TV...
