Rules:
Pick a foursome - one golfer from each group (A, B, C, D). Scoring is best ball by hole in each round. Lowest 4 round score wins. Team must be posted prior to the first tee time.

Tie Breaker #1 - Final round score of the winner.

Tie Breaker #2 - Total four round score of the winner.

FYI - Please check your lineup to see they are scheduled to play.

Yes I don't include every entry. Usually drop the lowest ranked guys like him.

I understand, but if he were, even being one of the lowest ranked dark horses in the field I would probably sub him in for DeChambeau because he is a Wisconsin boy who knows the course well.

If anyone is interested, this is a link that will bring up descriptive fly-overs throughout the course http://golfweek.com/2017/06/13/2017-u-s-open-erin-hills-generous-fairways-come-with-steep-price/ I think 9 is of particular interest. It's a par 3 that has 5 written all over it if you miss the green. Some locals call it the shortest par 5 in golf.

Saw a stat where a caddie kept track of 80 people going through that hole, and 72 made 5 or worse. Now, they're not PGA pros, but it's still a crazy stat.

Crazy isn''t it? Whoever our picks are this week need to keep it on the dance floor.
