fixyurdivot 17,452 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Up next is the seasons second major, The 104th PGA Championship at Southern Hills CC, Tulsa, OK. A good many in the field are coming off a fantastic tune up at the ATT Byron Nelson and, most would think, the winner is among that group. Last years unimaginable ending was really fun to watch but, unfortunately, there will be no chance of a repeat. As a consolation prize however, Tiger Woods will tee it up and see if perhaps he can set yet another record. Speaking of records, did you know that both Walter Hagen and Jack Nicklaus have won this event 5 times each? Or that Gene Sarazen, at 20 years old, became (and still remains) the youngest player to win this event? I was 0-2 on these . The weather looks like it will be cooperating with only a chance of t-storms on Sunday. It should be a great event and hopefully a close contest leaving us all biting nails and crossing fingers and toes for our favorites to make the cut and be high up on Sunday's leaderboard. I'm not quite sure who I'm picking yet but don't forget we have two pools this week you can be a part of; (Rob's Pool) and our weekly one below. Don't forget to make your pick for this weeks winner https://runmypools.com/JRMPNWWF. Good luck! 4 Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w ZX5 Irons 4-AW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) ER5v Putter (Evnroll ER5v Official Review) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way to "go out on a limb" you two . I'm inclined to think someone with the first name Cameron might be hoisting the trophy. 3 Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w ZX5 Irons 4-AW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) ER5v Putter (Evnroll ER5v Official Review) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shankster 33,051 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 After some quick research, I know for 100% certainty that a golfer with the last name beginning in E, Q, U, or X will not win the tournament. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveone 31 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Tough first group. Thomas playing great, Xander with a smooth 61 last round, Rahm is crushingly steady, Hovland's a local ~ up at Stillwater, OK and can get hot. Hatton can get hot both ways; good and bad. Wins most likely to helicopter a club. McIlroy and DJ can't seem to put 4 rounds together (either could scorch the field). And Cantlay sneaks in for the win. Still thinking. Going to be a coin toss. 1 Quote Steve Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny B 33,427 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Tiger for the WIN!! Oh wait... hold on... YE Yang is in the field. 2 1 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will A 11 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I think this course will demand a mental stamina not many in the field posses. Cam Smith had ice in his veins at the Players despite a questionable tactic on the final hole. I also expect Tiger to be in the top 5 going into the weekend, fade a little on Saturday, then rally as only he can to challenge on Sunday. 2 Quote Driver: G410 10.5 - Fujikura Vista Pro 55 R Wood: G425 Max 5W - Alta CB R Irons: 4-AW - VeloxT 65 R Wedges: RTX4 58-9, Milled Grind 60-11 Putter: Crimson Series 550 Ball: Pro V1x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixyurdivot 17,452 Posted May 17 Author Share Posted May 17 Revised weather forecast now adding a bit more wind and a cold front moving in on Friday. Tee times could definitely influence the outcome... particularly making it to Saturday. 1 Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w ZX5 Irons 4-AW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) ER5v Putter (Evnroll ER5v Official Review) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeathS16 2,298 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 So I decided on a foolproof plan....I picked who I thought would finish worst in all of the tiers. That way my terrible predictions could be blamed on the process and not my terrible gut on how people will play at Southern Hills. 2 Quote Driver: TSi3 Tester Check out the Review HERE 3-wood: Pro (13*) 5-Wood: Pro (18*) Irons : i210 4-PW Wedges: RTX-4 50* and 54* RTX-3 *58 Putter: Impact No. 3 Ball: MAXFLI TOUR Tracked by: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
