That's some solid talent there...yes it would be nice to see the Big Easy win this one for his first trip back, however, I think it's going to be Jim Furyk.
If you want to see what Tiger's old swing looked like look at Scott. (I have no idea why I just posted this)...Oh, it's because of the Skins Game and watching him on the tee box, really looks like his swing.
What a beautiful course...I hope Els has a good showing.
Sure is. And tough, too. The new back tees allow this beautiful monster to play as long as 7,842 yards!
The winds picked up in the third round and Tim Clark handled them quite well. He keeps his ball low and doesn't try to over-power it. I think he'll emerge with the victory.
It has been a joy watching Ernie in his return. The swing looks great, as usual, but his timing is just a tad off. His excellent short game remains intact.

He looks like his putting could use some work. I've watched him miss a few that were practically "gimmees" for him a year ago. But his swing is just as smooth as ever. What a wonderful thing to watch.
Gotta say, watched Ernie hit one chip today on 18. Looked very stabby to me. Almost like I was when I had my "twitch" on chips. Still finished up pretty close, but it didn't look at all smooth. Normally everything he does looks smooth as silk, but that chip. Didn't like it at all. Hope either it was a one off or I saw it wrong. Ernie at his best is very good for the game.

Wow, I picked one right for once, Card you did too! I know it's a limited field but it feels nice to predict a winner for once.
I remember the year that VJ won the Masters a buddy of mine asked me who I thought was going to win it that Friday and I called it as VJ, that was the only other time I called a winner, pretty sad isn't it?

It's pretty hard to pick a winner in a game like golf. I always like it when ProLine has a golf card, because I just wonder how they can put it to people to choose from so many different possible winners. At least with basketball, football or hockey, you've got Team A and Team B, and it's either A or B.
Although I was happy with the President's Cup (still gloating ).
