I'll take Rory, his driver should shine and if he can putt as well as he did at the Arnold Palmer, he could really light that place up.

If Rory putts like he did at Bay Hill, everyone else is just completing an exercise in futility. It'll be a blood bath. I don't even think Tiger with Rory's driver could compete with that.

How does scoring work? That's going to matter with that lineup.

You take the cumulative score of your top four golfers. Low cumulative score wins. The rest get thrown out. If you pick the winner of the tournament you get your money back.

Bubba is interesting. He hasn't been that great there in the years he hasn't won. Something like one other top 35. He's hard to peg down.

I do a two round draft with friends and I had the 11th pick for my second guy. Was looking at Bubba, Fowler and Kuchar. Figure Bubba will win or get 58th. Feeling pretty good about my first pick (Rose) I went with a safer pick in Kuchar.

I had one similar to that. I'm worried that lineup doesn't generate enough birdies. The ones I'm hopeful for involve Steele, Barnrat, and Perez. I mostly stayed away from Kuchar and Scott.

My group of 4 golfer buddies did a pick three draft, lowest cumulative wins, and I got Justin Thomas, Thomas Pieters, and Kiradech Aphibarnrat.

Listening to and reading about Phony Phil trying to pretend he doesn't hate Tiger is pretty amusing.

Huh? He just golfed with him yesterday to practice.

Exactly, and the media is eating it up. Nobody plays the media like Phil. Even when his wife was the one with cancer it was all "Oh, poor Phil" and "Oh, brave Phil is playing this week" in the press. :rolleyes:

So Tony Finau appeared to dislocate his ankle celebrating a hole-in-one. That's why I've never gotten a hole-in-one, don't want to risk the injury.

I don't know. The entree looks like it might be some kind of paella or risotto dish. That stuff can be very filling. A little goes a long way.


Ingredients:
1 kg lobster; 250 gr broad beans; 400 gr artichoke; 1 200-gr cuttlefish; 1 small onion; 5 garlic cloves; 2 ripe tomatoes; 400 gr rice; 1 L water; saffron; olive oil; salt.
Elaboration:
Heat 6 tablespoons of olive oil in a deep pan. When hot, add the lobster cut in half lengthwise. Fry lightly, remove and save. Now fry finely chopped onion, diced cuttlefish, quartered artichokes and broad beans for about 10 minutes, then add the grated tomato. Stir well and add water. Place the lobster in the pot again and leave to simmer to 5 minutes before adding the rice.

Then he just pops in back in place and kept on playing. Wow. That's got to be sore as hell tomorrow though you would think.

That was gross. He didn't look as terrified as I'd imagine I'd be if that happened to, I wonder if it's not the first time?

That is what I was thinking. He'll be fine today with a little adrenaline and keeping it moving, but it is going to hurt like hell in the morning. What a terrible and silly way to get hurt.

They haven't ever really hated each other. That was media hyperbole. They weren't buddies but they did send each other gifts when they had kids and were generally civil. The media had to construct this hate/hate relationship and it's one of the things I've hated for a long time.

Also, Tiger made Phil a **** ton of money. I'd say about half of the money Phil's made has come to him because inflating payments and Tiger making Phil be better.
