Cut + 2

Speith WD

Oh man...you and I are currently T1 (still a long way to go...) with an identical top 4 players and have nearly identical tie breakers   Our only difference is the Spieth score -- if it holds up and Spieth signs for another big number tomorrow, it'll be hard for the admins to make the call on whether your WD prediction counts as a closer guess than my -2

Hi guys! exciting and it's only the first round! good luck but I am rooting for Sepp Straka! 

[Al_Czervik]

If it were any other circumstance I would not mind Straka winning. He is a UGA guy.  Good luck guys a long way to go in this one.

... Back in the 80's a Jamaican lady that worked the payroll for the radio station I worked at asked me to help her make her picks for our NFL weekly pool. Everyone chipped in $5 and winner took all every week. Now the help she wanted wasn't about players or teams or injuries. She made her selections by the color of their jersey's. And one of the main reasons why I don't love betting, she won 4 times that year which was more than those of us studying teams, games, injuries, etc. 

... If players had the same color shirts they wore every tournament, I think I could do better than normal just by picking my favorite colors.

Clearly Straka is going to win.... He's wearing the Squairz Shoes

For this one I picked at least a few guys based on the cold weather - the swede and the Irishman are backfiring, but the Norwegian and Canadian are carrying me

[RoverRick]

My picks were so bad that Titleist may want me to send THEM a new driver.

I feel your pain…

It’s rough when my top player is at even! But rob you have some catching up to do

I know. I missed mine the first run through and thought I was last place when the witty comment popped into my head. I didn’t want to waste it. But there is a lot of golf.  I will soon be dropping down the leader board.

We’ll leave no witty comment unsaid!

[GolfSpy_SHARK]

Documenting this moment because it’s the closest I’ll ever be lol. Kicking myself for not taking Conners for the first time in a long time! Now I’m just hoping for a Conners fall and a Mitchell rise!

 

[Shapotomous]

I hit my PB place also but at 122 it isnt worth a screenshot! 

[GolfSpy BOS]

Well no drama this weekend for me!  Doesn't look like I'll be winning anything! OOPH! 

[OdinSnipes414]

Oh Rickie darn it booogering the last hole!

Pretty sure I can say the game thing.

I knew my players were not doing well and I am in 430somthing place, but I was looking at the leaderboard and I just have to laugh at people that can't follow the instructions.  Top 2 entries don't match a forum name

... It has become clear I will never win one of these Major contests. I have an uncanny ability to pull a hat out of a rabbit. Now, if we had a Major contest where we picked one of the top 20 players in the world that would miss the cut by the most strokes I would contend. 

[richk9holes]

@Javs @Justin Wagner have Scheffler and MW Lee so I can't win even if both of them shoot course records

If they actually enforce this, that's brutal. But also... That means I'm back in contention!

They do enforce the rule that if your team name doesn't  match your forum name that you are eliminated.

*Brutal for the pool winner. Totally get why they do it though - now I'm just hoping Conners and Hovland make a few more birdies each

Really isn't hard to follow 2 simple rules. Don't feel bad, it's those entries that are clearly just in it for free stuff vs many others who in the past have won and done full writeups and reviews on the products afterwards which is appreciated!

[OdinSnipes414]

 

[GolfSpy_APH]

Also noted that hovland is using the G425 (sounds way different then the G430 Conners is using). Also has stealth fairway.

Curious to know why he didn't move to the newer driver model.

[fixyurdivot]

Solid 397th place finish... a perfect bookend to my FTx finish .

[storm319]

Ugh, I flip-flopped between Rahm and Brooks multiple times before submitting, but Brooks R4 Master’s choke spooked me. If not for that, I would have won

Still fun though. Big thanks to MGS and Titleist for sponsoring!

I did similar, but it was with my tier 2 pick. Settled on Fitzpatrick who MC. Had Hovland up until the last second. Would've been T1 at -15
