CaneBrain 95 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 blah blah blah....Tiger's knee.....blah blah blah.....Tiger's knee :)In seriousness, who do you like? Does Phil finally end his US Open curse? Or does a no name win again..... Link to post Share on other sites
PMJackson21 0 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 blah blah blah....Tiger's knee.....blah blah blah.....Tiger's knee In seriousness, who do you like? Does Phil finally end his US Open curse? Or does a no name win again.....I'd be as surprised as I can be about the result of a golf tournament if Tiger doesn't win, knee injury or not.That being said, I'm rooting for qualifier John Ellis. He was the #1 on our HS team, and has been bouncing around mini tours since he left U of Oregon. He's won two events on the Canadian Tour this year though, and was the medalist in this Open qualifying, so hopefully this will lead to good things for him. Link to post Share on other sites
rivergirl 2 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 although i will gladly agree that tiger may be the best golfer EVER...it drives me nuts to watch golf on tv, showing nothing but tiger woods, even when he's 10 shots off the lead and the leaders are on the course. I'm rooting for phil, but i'm pretty sure it will be an upset nobody again this year. Link to post Share on other sites
dapokerbum 0 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I'm actually rooting for Sergio to take his first major. But it probably won't be at Torrey as his putter will have to be on FIRE.It won't be Phil ... mark my words (man I hope I don't have to eat those later). Link to post Share on other sites

Jackets1407 0 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I am in a golf pool and have to pick 5 golfers for the US Open, lowest score wins. Any suggestions??? Having a tough time this week with it being at a different venue every year. Link to post Share on other sites

Having a tough time this week with it being at a different venue every year.A few of my non-Tiger/Phil picks for this one: Justin Rose (stole that one from Jimmy Roberts), Jim Furyk, Adam Scott. Furyk is my pick, after Tiger, or course. Link to post Share on other sites
leftygolfer 7 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I <3 u.I am torn. Obv Phil has an advantage with his knowledge of the course. Never can count out Tiger... but I think with this long of a layoff, he is either going to finish top 5 or way down. My prediction is this years winner will be someone that surprises us. Should be fun. Nothing better than being on the couch, cold one close, and the US Open on. Link to post Share on other sites
CaneBrain 95 Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 Phil is looking svelte there. Maybe he should always keep his arms above his head.....I love Mickelson and I would love to see him breakthrough at the Open with a win. Link to post Share on other sites
Jackets1407 0 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I really like the long hitters in this one. Seems like Torrey will be playing pretty long this week.I don't think that Tiger can have 9 weeks off and still win, but he is Tiger so you never know.My favorites are Mick, Ogilvy (my pick to win), Goosen, and Rose.I really think that Appleby is a sleeper this week.

Shimmering Wang 1 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I have a lot of action on this tournament. I should at least break even if Mickeltits outshoots Tiger. We are also rooting for Stewie Cink pretty hard. My other outright probably will miss the cut by 5 strokes or more...LOL at Tiger being +350 even though he hasn't played since the Masters. I love when Tiger is in the field, because he just ensures great prices for everyone else. Link to post Share on other sites

One of the announcers last night made a comment about just that. Andy North's reply was that all of the players know the course as well and that familiarity with Torrey Pines was not that much of an advantage to Phil and Tiger.hyperbole much?I could have also said holding my pud in my hand, but that would be you not me. If you are serious, I can share the greatest putting tip known to man. It is without a doubt the most important piece of info you can get: LISTEN FOR IT. Meaning, when you putt, keep your head down and don't look at the hole to see it go in... ever. If you look, you'll pull or push it. Put a line on your ball then line that up with the line on your putter. Look at the hole to gauge the distance, then never look to see if the putt drops. Focus on straight back and straight through, putter line on ball line. It's that freaking easy dude. Also don't be ashamed, I putt better than most 5 handicaps. LOL Link to post Share on other sites
PMJackson21 0 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 LOLI second that LOL. Keeping your head down through contact (with any club) is innovative stuff though, I'll have to remember that. Link to post Share on other sites

showstopper24 0 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 SportsCenter's top 10 today was Tiger's top 10. His chip in from yesterday was 10 and his awesome 70 foot eagle put was number 3. Link to post Share on other sites
donk4life 34 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I was going to say something that Tiger's knee is really going to bug him today, and that he won't continue to make miracle shots after horrible drives.But then I realized it's Tiger, and Tiger doesn't blow leads.
