fatshaft Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 (yes tup, :tup: ) So, all kicks off tommorrow again, once again Tigerless, so should be a great tourney. Fatshaft's picks, which were so successful for the Masters Winner: David Toms, having a great year, 8th in the Fedex with a win under his belt, 3rd in driving accuracy and 2nd in GIR. 1st in all round stats ranking, and a man in recent form. 55/1 with Billy Hills, that'll do for me. In the frame: Dustin Johnston - been playing near the edges of tournies but not quite contending, had a good year in majors last year and returning to the scene of his biggest crime in 2010, will be up there. 25/1 Matt Kuchar & Hunter Mahan - Both been in good form all year but without a win. I always take the Yanks in the US Open, and with them having no current major winners it's time for a new face to step up. Both these guys are 25/1, maybe bit short for Mahan, but good price for Kuchar. Link to comment

barassie_afc Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Almost forgot about Toms,not sure he can do it,but good odds, had a look at Bubba but not sure his putting is up to scratch Link to comment
Pudgie Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Thought it was worth a mention that Paddy Power are paying 1/4 each way on 6 places. Link to comment

fatshaft Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 McDowell surprisingly good odds for the defending champion but is his form good enough? I reckon he if he's not in contention, he may miss the cut. I reckon there'll be no middle ground for him this week.Golf Monthly have a US Open competition running, the tie breaker is McDowell's final placing, I plumped for a MC, he's been really struggling lately.

tightbreeks Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 this was on sky sports last night, they must have thought it was fun, or their sponsor made them do it. you'd think they'd have a bit of rythym, but they don't. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSSVLTb1wh4 Link to comment

diamondsr4ever Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Poulter @ 66's could be value Thomas Levet @ 500's could be worth some loose change to finish in the top 10. Link to comment
diamondsr4ever Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I actually EXPECT him to miss the cut but roberto thinks every time I hold a different opinion to him, it's a personal attack so I was being gentle with him. His win v. Tiger was class though but like Harrington when he was capable of winning majors, I don't think the swing is robust enough. He's riding a wave of confidence and it may already be waning after only 12 months, whereas Padraig got more out of his wave. It's all about opinions and I would like GMac to win more majors but wouldn't be surprised if he falls into the trap of swing-rebuilding-for-long-term-gain. The game's played in the heid, min! Your current swing got you here, live with it. Furyk being the prime example if it aint broke, dinna fix it Link to comment
diamondsr4ever Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Aye, was cringeworthy that! think it was meant to be Roberto Link to comment
diamondsr4ever Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I never said otherwise. I merely stated it was cringeworthy. what did you think it would be like? musical youth looking forward to the start at 3pm today... I see Monty has been on skynews critisising the draw. Link to comment

K-9 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 plenty time minAnother Bogey at 3. Casey 2 over already aswell. Shaping up to be few low scores it seems already!! Link to comment
diamondsr4ever Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Another Bogey at 3. Casey 2 over already aswell. Shaping up to be few low scores it seems already!! some loose change on Levet was the advice...but as I said, long way to go, winning total will probably be around -2 at the end of the week. and my tip from last week...Mr Donald is -2...

diamondsr4ever Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Make that 4+ - ooooooya f**ker. well, so far it sems a slog for a few of them.......course management could be the key factor this week.... cant see many being under par by Sunday evening Link to comment
tup Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I see Edfors is setting the early pace. The three heavyweights sit ominously behind, in the shape of Donald, Kaymer, and Westwood. What a marquee grouping to have those three playing together! No Tiger Woods is obviously a major talking point, injuries and scandal look to have put paid to him for good, and this has ushered in a period of uncertainty at the top of the world rankings, with the above trio vying for position. :tup: Link to comment
tup Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 'I don't care about golf, it's for gays'. I'll check who's leading though, just to have an input on it. For once I agree with Roberto wholeheartedly. Link to comment

double-claw Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 R. Sabbatini, JJ Henry, D Love XI, Dog Eater PGA Champ, Kaymer (dont know why?). That's my picks but I hold no hope considering I scooped big on The Masters. Link to comment
sooth_stander Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 When McIlroy is in full flight, he's brilliant to watch. Ball striking is just second to none. Link to comment
Sandafc Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 How often does Garcia change his putting grip. Feck sake. Still not doing too bad, but he'd be dangerous in this tournament if he could sink putts. Hes been putting like that all year?? Although hasnt holed everything today, hes played very well. Think he will still be up there as his ball striking is fantastic. Link to comment
