Tiger, Phil and I'll take Fred Funk and Kenny Perry as live longshots.

Wait! Who am I kidding?

I'm picking Sergio Garcia.

The winner will have to putt exceptionally well.

After watching Goosen tame the greens at Shinnecock last year, I think he's got to be the favorite until somebody dethrones him.


Goosen to win

Dark Horse-Luke Donald

Ben Crane, when he throws down his vicious 62......late monday morning. Those putts are tough, you don't want to rush them.

Me and mine have been discussing this all week, and I think our concensus was that we had no favorite. It's hard to bet against I Like My Chances in a major, though. Think I'll go with the big TW.....finishing second to Ben Crane.

Before he throws down that 62, he's going to need to pick up a case of Sunblock SPF of 450. Dude is whiter than the Pillsbury Doughboy....

Watch out for Daly. Wheels came off dude's wagon in a complete meltdown, then he came back, nutted up, and started banging birds?

Unprecedented. Just not his style.

All are in position--I like Toms a lot great swing and when he gets his putter going....

Donald and Adam Scott look to be leading the next rotation of "great players. Donald has one of prettiest swings out there....totally effortless

GoD I hate those guys......

I could probably have an effortless swing, but I'm much too busy being MANLY, and trying to reach the 200MPH swing-speed mark. I ALWAYS make good contact with the 200MPH swing.

So what if I have medium graphite shafts on my irons? IT'S ALL ABOUT 200MPH, DARNIT! Cuz I'm MANLY like that.

Yeah, but the ball isn't supposed to shoot off 90 degrees to the right or left. :wink:
