I'm no aficionado, so I'll be stubbornly backing Rickie Fowler like I do every tournament, though I can definitely see Scott or Day taking this. Or McIlroy of course.
I have a feeling about Danny Willett too. He's on great form and seems to be on the rise in general, perhaps buoyed by being a new father. Also can't shake floating inklings for Oosthuizen and Matsuyama.
Starting in an hour and ten!

He's underway on the first, but his tee shot is wayward.He's underway on the first, but his tee shot is wayward.He's underway on the first, but his tee shot is wayward.

fowler is usually so aggressive with his putss i wonder how that plays out on these greens although so was tiger and he seemed to manage fine.
matsuyama is a good shout tangentx2, p long and has a great putting stroke.

i find spieth fascinating in that i've never been all that impressed with how he hits the ball even last year when he was having a year for the ages. although i may have just taken against him because he is so fucking slow.
― pandemic, Thursday, 7 April 2016 14:16 (ten years ago)
fowler - double bogey, birdie, birdie.
― pandemic, Thursday, 7 April 2016 14:20 (ten years ago)
I'm not enthusiastic about Spieth either, especially since imago took to suddenly watching the golf and supporting him... And yes, so slow. I like the aggressive and creative players best.
Wind is apparently picking up later so I'm hoping Fowler can get some more birdies in nice and early...

im kinda jelly, one of my good friends is going to this tmorrow
otoh, tix via stubhub were apparently ~$800 each
― johnny crunch, Thursday, 7 April 2016 14:47 (ten years ago)
i grew to admire spieth when i watched him bury putt after putt in big situations last year
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 7 April 2016 14:51 (ten years ago)
Suddenly? Since I was in short pants ffs
Hoping for a huge start from Spieth tho yeah

This tournament is great obv but I always see it as propaganda for the American springtime

has it rained there this morning? had heard all week about the greens being the fastest ever but quite a few approach shots taking spin so far.
― pandemic, Thursday, 7 April 2016 15:27 (ten years ago)
Morning dew makes the greens a little softer and grabbier — afternoon groups will miss out on that.

― Better Pau Gasol (Spottie), Thursday, 7 April 2016 16:22 (ten years ago)
from the few pro events i've seen him play in over the last 5 months gotta say dechambeau is the best amateur i've seen for a long time. i take it he's going pro after this week?
― pandemic, Thursday, 7 April 2016 16:31 (ten years ago)
