fixyurdivot Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Well, yes, it is about time . I'm picking Webb Simpson. It will especially odd to have a major event w/o fans. That said, I'm so thankful the PGA has not opted to pump in background crowd noises. Just saw a brief bit of a MLB game with that... pretty corny IMO.

FrogginBullfish Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Think it's going to be hard to look past JT, Brooks, and Bryson this week but maybe this is the week Rickie, Finau, or Rahm break through for that first major.Or maybe Tiger gets #16 for #83. Cool weather in the forecast all week though, so his back might be an issue. Also definitely not opposed to Rory winning.Spieth has a chance to complete the career Grand Slam. Maybe he puts it together for four rounds finally.Hopefully it'll be a good one.Sent from my Pixel 2 using MyGolfSpy mobile app xOldBenKenobiX and Rickp 2 Quote DRIVER PXG 0811XF GEN4 (10.5°) FAIRWAY WOODS PXG 0341XF GEN4 (16°) HYBRIDS PXG 0317XF GEN4 (19°), PXG 0317X GEN4 (22°) IRONS PXG 0311T GEN3 (5 - 9) WEDGES TAYLORMADE MG3 (45°, 50°, 55° TW Grind, 60° TW Grind) PUTTER PXG BATTLE READY ONE & DONE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see Jordan Spieth win the Grand Slam, but he hasn't showed that he can put 4 rounds together. It's hard to count out TW, but I don't think he has enough reps in to compete this year, and his putting has been a little off. While it would be great to see Koepka and JT battle down to the wire, I have two "out on a limb" picks, and I have no idea why.

sixcat Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Harding Park looked absolutely stunning on Live From last night. Nothing like the anticipation and excitement leading into the first major of the year......even if it is in August! Iron play is always at a premium at Harding Park. Putting needs to be good, but not great. I'm gonna take Colin Morikawa for the upset. Kenny B, xOldBenKenobiX and KurtActual 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtActual Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Hearing the rough is so tough it's nearly unplayable. Sounds like driving accuracy will be most important. I think Brendon Todd will make a showing, but it'll come down to Collin Morikawa and Chez Reavie. xOldBenKenobiX and Kenny B 2 Quote Tiger is the GOAT, change my mind.

Mtbryant01 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Here are my 3 guys: 1) Daniel Berger - he has been solid his past 6 rounds (T2, CUT, T3, 1, T4, T5) 2) Matthew Fitzpatrick - longshot to win, but his putting has been on fire. If he can get his irons to find the green, he'll make some putts. 3) Brooks Kopeka - Major Brooks is here. He proved me wrong last week (I thought he would continue to struggle). There is a 250 yd par 3 this week? Yikes. I wonder what the yardage will be if the hole is placed in the back. xOldBenKenobiX 1 Quote Cobra Connect 5 participant G410 Plus, w/ X stiff 75 g Project X Evenflow Black shaft driver / Radspeed w/ Smoke RDX Blue 70S shaft Big Tour 3 wood/ 5 wood w/ Fujikura X F3 60S shaft 4 Hybrid w/ Project X Catalyst 80S shaft Copper MIM Tour Irons w/ KBS $ Taper Balck 120S shaft Snakebite 50, 54, and 58 wedges w/ KBS Hi-Rev 2.0 125S shaft Newport 2.5 putter MTB X golf balls RH, Alabama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listening to David Duval as we speak. DD suggest the rough isn't something these players aren't going to have seen before. They actually see it on a regular basis. The key difference is, in San Francisco, that rough is going to be wet the entire week. Players will have to use the early part of the week to learn what the water causes the golf ball to do out of the rough. Very nice insight by DD. Would love to see him or Brad Faxon on the tournament call rather than Faldo. KurtActual 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hartrick11 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 As much as I would love for Tiger to take this one I worry about his back in colder weather. I think Koepka or Webb takes it down.

Shankster Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 My apologies for the double thread. Still getting used to the website version of the forum. I was using the app for everything. Bryson making some comments about the rough being short enough where he is planning on using the Kraken whenever he can. Bold move Bryson, but I think it could pay off for him. I must confess, I am not familiar with the Harding Park course, and it seems bland, but El Tiger likes it, so it is good in my book. Still bummed we don’t get an Open this year.
