Don't know where my mind was earlier when I started this thread.

I'm not picking Price. I always go with Mickelson, so I am picking Phil! :rocks: :rocks: :rocks: :rocks:

Glad you changed your pick. I was about to ask what year this is. Price was great . . . IN 1994!?

Tiger is gonna dance like his namesake in UT's sig on Sunday. I'll take the number one player in the world, Tiger Woods.

Nope - Woods is back in front now by an eyelash. I think they've flip-flopped about 2-3 times this year.

So no one is sticking with the Round 1 leaders?

Goosen looks like a good pick - 16 greens in regulation! Tiger can grind and scramble but his tee game will put him in a lot of roughs.

Others with potential include Furyk and Toms - both can play patiently and accurately.

Should be a brutal Open if Rd 1 is any indication. If it doesn't rain, the course is going to be insanely hard on Sunday.

The way those greens are, the USGA can set those pins and make those guys shoot as high as they want. If the wind blows at all, an over par score might actually win.

I'll go with Vijay. Don't like him, but his game will keep him in contention. Tiger may surprise me, but I say his inconsistency holds him back on this course.

Well, I'd say Phil just about took himself out by posting a 7-over 77 today.

Those greens look tough... Watching guys trying to chip in is just painful.

Goosen seems to have a grip on things though. Tiger looks like he's gonna hang around the top. Anybody give Garcia a shot?
