Jim Furyk

My pick exactly....His style of game, IMO, fits this course as good as anyones.....Matter of fact, the Local Pro here in Tulsa, at Southern Hills, says Furyks' game is suited quite well to the course....It's all about placement, and keeping it in the fairway, hitting greens in regulation, and the course is not very forgiving for erratic shots.....

Tiger if famous for ad libing and saving a bad shot, to turn it into a Par.....Gonna be hard to do here....You make a mistake, you pay for it....kaptain

Course has also been lenghtened some this year, how much I don't know.....But Pin Placement is gonna be nasty....

[Kaptain]

Furyk
Howell III
Verplank
Goosen

in that Order for me....these are the dark horses I like for the Open

[Eagle]

Tiger +290, $300 to make $1015
Toms -140 over Allenby. $700 to make $500
$20-$30 each on these........
Luke Donald +2800
Zach Johnson +4000
Goosen +2800
Furyk +2000
Tim Clark +8000

[WAR EAGLE]

I like Sean O'Hair chances, very straight hitter and pretty damn good on the greens

GOOSESN
ELS

I'm in a draft for the Open. Really wanted Adam Scott, but drew the 12th pick in a 16 team field for round 1. With that many teams, everyone has some slugs, so I ended up with this group:

Z. Johnson
S. Garcia
S. Appleby
B. Estes
M. Campbell

nice price on tiger my book has him +165 almost not worth the bet when you have 90 other people that can get hot and win a tourney

[Pitt37]

I bet ELS, VIJAY, and Z. Johnson

[KR-V3]

Can somebody please tell me who the F*** is Rod Pampling??? I have a fishy line on him to make the cut at -210 on "Yes" and +170 on "No". Then the line on him to win the whole damn thing is 80-1. I just don't understand why he is such a big favorite to make the cut, but a real long shot to win??? A little help please....I'm so confused, but looking to lay some $$$ on him to not make the cut. I think I'm just ignorant!!!

He's from the Dallas area. The book on him is that he plays difficult golf courses well. He drives it straight and putts it well. I'm sure how the "Open" hoopla plays in to it. Sorry I don't have tournament data to back it up right now, but I've played with him before.

nice +11 well done on the tough course lol

[Three Jack]

I think Tiger struggles here...he is going to need to take out his driver and it is the most inconsistent club in his bag right now. I like the Adam Scott pick.

I was right on this!!

I was right on this!!

With 2 days left, this tourney is far from over. And having played on this course a lot myself, I can tell you that it always favors the players who go out early, because it dries up as the day goes on and the greens become rock hard. The leaders will all struggle come Sunday afternoon.
