Well deserved win there from Poulter. If he plays as well as that next weekend, won't be far off the green jacket.

He is not long enough. Plus, I'm not sure if he can both draw and fade?

Phil is number one in putting, number 1 in one putts, number 2 in strokes gained putting and number 4 or 5 in birdies made this season so far. At least those were a snippet of the stats that came up during the AP invitational. I am a big fan of lefties at ANC. Bubba is playing for fun now again after a few crazy years suffering from pink balls and making a ton of birdies. I will be backing both of them and I'll always take a punt on Rory too. Obviously Thomas and Fowler can't be ruled out (RF has had a weird few weeks missing short putts however). Not sure how Dustin Johnson will play. Could win at a canter, or could miss the cut.

Screen, that's the article yeah. Rich Hunt at Golfwrx. One that interested me was ruling out Alex Noren as he has yet to make a cut. He is playing some good golf this year.

I do think it's not gonna happen for Tiger. Need to move the golf ball right to left at ANC and he can't control the driver at the minute, and when he does keep it in play he is hitting a fade. That said, Nicklaus played a fade his whole life.

All that being said - COME ON FREDDY COUPLES!!!

He can hit it both directions. Jack Nichlaus played with a false, not sure where this requirement to shape both directions comes from.

Plenty long enough too, you could say the same about Speith (Or Paddy H) but there is very little difference between them I'd argue.

If he can hit as many GIR per Texas and putt as well as he has, he will not be far away. Big if considering the last 3 weeks he's been through.

Indeed he was . . .

Included in the twenty who could win but not the top 10.

Cheers.

Secret Tour Pro picked Willet and Garcia as winners for the past 2 tournaments. This year he's picked McIlroy.

[mouview]

Pondering Woods at 4/1 to miss cut. Maybe occasion will get to him....

[Tony Baloney]

Right lads let's get the picks up.

[Milltown Row2]

Bubba 16/1
Rose 14/1
Rory 11/1


And my 2 for each/way Fowler 25/1 and Kuchar 40/1

[screenexile]

Rory
Spieth
Kisner

[Tony Baloney]

Bubba 16/1
Rose 14/1
Rory 11/1


And my 2 for each/way Fowler 25/1 and Kuchar 40/1

Kuchar is my perennial e/w so thinking:

Rory for the win.

e/w:
Kuchar
Bubba
Casey
Rahm

Depending on how far down the pack I go maybe Poulter or Noren small e/w bets.
