U.S. Open Predictions

**Jimmy** · 06-11-2003 06:31 AM

My favourite golf tournament of the year is upon us. The reason the " U.S. Open " is my favourite, because it's the toughest tournament of the year, on the toughest course of the year. My top three picks are:

1.) Mike Weir - Double Major Winner in 2003 ?

2.) Tiger Woods - He's got Game !

3.) Kenny Perry - Why not...

Good luck on your prediction, and I am sure we will be treated to a Great 4 days of golf, I only wish I was playing ! Maybe next year I will ?

Good luck JIMMY & if you need a caddie......

VJ over CINK over TIGER

Hmm...

This one was easy. Was, I said. Jim Rome had Lanny Wadkins on the radio show talking about the Open and Phil Mickelson.

The concensus (assuming you can get a concensus with Mr. Rome) is that Phil has the talent but not the proper mental approach to make the Open a realistic win.

Then, I hear on Monday that Phil seems to have changed his tune. I hear that he's looking to play conservative. Phil M playing conservative??? As John Davidson says....OH BABY!!!

So, my picks... VJ (in spite of Annika-gate), Phil and Mike Weir will dual it out for 2nd. ... Tiger?? (we'll find out that his driver is corked -- like he needs it) Actually, I believe that Tiger's putter will be stone-cold this week.

Go lefties! <-- Yes, I'm a lefty!

Cheers,
DonH

I'd love to see Weir win another major, and Tiger is the obvious favorite, but for those in pools looking for another choice, take a look at Jim Furyk. 13 of 14 cuts made this year and 10 top tens. With all the mulitple winners this year he's 6th on the money list and hasn't won yet. I think he's due and his tour ranking of 5th in driving accuracy is gonna be important this week.

**Kilroy** · 06-11-2003 08:14 AM

Just a reminder for those who play the OttawaGolf Fanatsy Golf League...This week is a Major. Money earned is doubled!

**fireice** · 06-11-2003 09:07 AM

I believe Mike Weir will have a great week at least top 5 if not win. Kenny Perry is hot also. With the amount of mutliple winners this year you have to figure it will be one of those guys. But hey my not so long shot would have to be Cink who shot 61 and 62 in qualifying. My over 40 picks would have to be Nick Price and VJ.

**Weazl** · 06-11-2003 06:25 PM

Vijay ( mr boring ) Singh

Tiger ( if putter is on )

Or my fellow leftie & canuck, Mike wier!

Not so Long shot - Davis Love III ( if his head is here after the tragedy )

Everyone enjoy the beautiful weekend weather, & the golf!

**Colby** · 06-11-2003 09:09 PM

Freddie is playing well too

**The Shtick** · 06-12-2003 05:49 AM

I forgot to make my picks......:crying :crying :crying

**Kilroy** · 06-12-2003 06:07 AM

Bad week for that

Double points too. Say goodbye to the top 11 for a while. Better hope Davis wins

**The Shtick** · 06-12-2003 06:22 AM

I missed what happened to Davis Love. Care to fill me in?

**Colby** · 06-12-2003 02:01 PM

His brother-in-law, who was the executive assistant to Love, committed suicide after being caught embezzling from Love. He was married to Love's sister.

I'm usually bad at predictions, thought i'd throw this one up again while the going is good. The sad thing is I didn't take my own advice and pick him.

**fireice** · 06-13-2003 01:04 PM

I find it the hardest at the Majors to make 7 predictions(like we have to in the Ottawa Golf Fantasy League). There's always more than 7 guys you could choose. Just look at the leaderboard today, although it is just Friday.
I did pick Furyk though.

**Slicer** · 06-14-2003 06:20 PM

What are predictions for the final round? It's saturday evening and I realize i'm probably the only one on the discussion forum and not out golfing because I have to work. The canucks are doing okay but too much to come back at this point, unless Leggett goes 2 or 3 under on his final few holes. I like Furyk myself.

**fireice** · 06-15-2003 06:43 PM

7 of my guys made the cut for the Fantasy League. Furyk is going to win his first major and Weir is having a good day. The only thing that is kinda bad today is I'm at work and it's Father's Day.

**Jimmy** · 06-15-2003 07:53 PM

Well......... Weir and Perry finished tied for 3rd !

Tiger Woods engaged his girlfriend too much !

Ciao at the British Open !

Shtick... 11th to 34th... It helps to make picks

And Dan has some bragging rights. 6th Spot Congrats! Where'd Steve go?!?

**Kilroy** · 06-16-2003 01:33 PM

**fireice** · 06-16-2003 10:56 PM

I finally made a bit of a move from 70th to 55th. Slowly making my way to the top so I can do some braggin' or at least get some free golf. Nothing like golf especially when it's free.

**faldo** · 06-17-2003 06:29 AM

HAH...you guys have no bragging rights at all!!!

I convinced my wife to play this year, figuring she would have a shot at a weekly prize.
Well, OO7 FOREVER has been in the top two or three almost all season. I'm hanging around 50th place (at best)..

She's actually offered to look over my picks before I submit them.
Ain't love grand?????
