Hey, I moved from last at the Master's to 2nd at the US Open.:heli:

Of course I think all of us that weren't first were tied for 2nd.:rolleyes:

[yankee]

:cool:

[BlakeJ]

I did it...but dont know how it all works. I picked Tiger, Vijay, Els, and Montgomerie. Wait...am I supposed to tell you that??

The key is to pick people that will make a lot of birdies. They may also make a lot of bogies, which can make it all really interesting. Have fun.

I just picked 4 guys that all played well the last two times at St. Andrews. Tiger is the two time defending champ at St. Andrews while the other 3 were top 20 finishes both years.

[15Adragon]

I had Daly on my team until last night. I should have stuck with my initial picks...:o

Just remember you can change your team every day. Make sure you don't have someone who missed the cut still on your team on Saturday!

You would be lights out if so, but still in first as of now!

We got ourselves a barn-burner!

if anyone picked john daly for their first group or 21 year old rory, you need to tell me your secrets! :D

I nearly picked Daly. He usually shoots very well at St. Andrews.

[15Adragon]

I had him until my final cut, but I also was strongly considering Duval.

I really wanted to pick Dirk. :eek:

Funny story on that there.

I was going to start a thread called "Q&A with a 17 year old South Dakota Girl."

I asked my sister a bunch of "What sport does this guy play?" questions. These were her answers. Mind you..she knows little about sports but enough to know better.


She got these right

Kobe Bryant - Basketball
Mark McGwire - Baseball
Joe Montana - Football
LeBron James - Basketball
Ken Griffey Jr - Baseball
Derek Jeter - Baseball
Pau Gasol - Basketball
Tiger Woods - Golf
Dwayne Wade - Basketball
Adrian Peterson - Football
Peyton Manning - Football
Carmelo Anthony - Basketball
Chris Paul - Basketball
LaDainian Tomlinson - Football
Sydney Crosby - Hockey
Phil Mickelson - Golf
Tony Romo - Football (and he's hot) :rolleyes:
Chris Bosh - Basketball
Amare Stoudamire - Basketball
Jason Kidd - Basketball

She got these wrong

Tom Brady - Baseball
Drew Brees - Hockey
Josh Hamilton - Golf
Matt Schaub - I have no clue
Dirk Nowitzki - Golf

I laughed when I heard her say Dirk in Golf and I said "Why did you think he was in Golf??" She says "He's the golfer that everyone talks about who hasn't won yet."

I thought it was F'n hilarious that she knew he was the guy "Who hasnt won yet"..but had no clue what he played. I told her he was a basketball player that hasnt won. She says "Well I know I always hear about him not winning...but I thought he was a golfer...his name sounds like a golfer to." :rofl:

True testament to Dirks legacy I guess. 93 and Lonny should enjoy that

[Favpack]

I rolled the dice and chose the guys teeing off late for a supposed calm afternoon, it may backfire on me. CCDawg has a nice round going and most of his guys are on the back 9 already.

Weather will be a huge issue this weekend.

[15Adragon]

Prediction - Phoenix will be the leader after today. His 1st player posted 7 birdies. He still has 3 strong players to go.

Play has been temporarily stopped due to high winds. The wind is gusting so strongly that the ball won't sit still on the greens. It could be a long afternoon for ones who are playing late.

I've used that excuse to try to get a ball from the collar to the green and nobody ever believes me. ;)

Yeah, but Rory and Daly haven't birdied yet. I did like the fact that I had 3 of the top 4 and none of my players were worse than 8 today :D

John Daly and Louis OStstasdkfasdmfna;slk;olsifuan only cost 7 each.

Good move - I could literally end up even for the day - ouch.

[Favpack]

Dawg must be livin' right. Ryan Moore shoots 84, yet gives him 2 points:

Ryan Moore 4 5 4 4 5 3 5 3 5 38 6 5 4 7 5 4 4 8 3 46 84

That is what I was thinking. How come we don't see Katy Fan in the 5a group? How is he doing today?

Ostiruksnjkhauiyekss's back must be hurting having to carry Tiger, Mcilroy and Daly all day.

I made changes but they didnt work. Must have been to late. I changed Montgomerie for Immelman

Monty and VJ were solid for you. Dirk would have been as good as Els was today. :eek:

Yeah probably - make them tonight so you don't have to get up at 3 am. :D

[BlakeJ]

Probably not...he's the golfer that never wins. I dont want that guy...plus you probably have to pay more than he's worth. ;)

Then again...if he's my second or third best golfer...its a perfect fit. :D

[SWMHebron]

I'm just not feeling it for this tournament but will go make my new picks shortly.

Same here - I got 5 points today - lol - that is bad.

[Favpack]

OK, I've got an American, Spaniard, South Korean and Englishman -- call me the United Nations squad. :cool:

[15Adragon]

Two Americans, one Englishman, and one South African for me. Ave age 31, two major winners and it probably won't matter. Some one will have another long shot with 8 birdies.. :p

Hey, Tiger got me two points! :D

[Favpack]

One of my guys - Jeong from South Korea - is an amateur - haha I went with an amateur - what a dope.

[BlakeJ]

This game sucks. It's like trying to guess the numbers in the lottery. Glover is keeping old Doucher and I pretty this morning.

I was at the 99th percentile through 2 rounds at the Masters. Favpack did something similar at the US Open. There's less guesswork to it than you think.

You're right. Gotta have a little luck to.

Hey KF - my 4-some today shot 73, 73, 74 and 67 - and I scored 11 points. It is a whacky, addictive game my friend. I had 3 holes in which one player scored par and the other three shot bogey or worse.

[Favpack]

Tirico mentioned the deserted stands - where is everyone?

All you need is that par. Granted birdie is better but when you have 3 red squares you just want something different to neutralize.

I am p.o.'d it let me pick Oliver Wilson yesterday when he didn't make the cut. I thought he had and didn't think I could pick him if he hadn't. But I was still -11.

it is wacky. Seems like there is alot of luck involved. Im killing myself trying to pick guys for tommorrow. Glover has 500 birdies...but only -3 for the tourney.

I went with Woods, Canizares, Oeeslithngkoygio, and Casey.

I havent really been watching any fo the tourney today...thought I did well...just to see others did better.

Hoping for a US miracle - Woods; Barnes; Na and Paul Casey, who is a little American.

[Favpack]

well - I think we all over-thought the last round to death...

So for the last one, we not only have the tournament, but the overall victory, which you're currently leading by 6 strokes for... Looks a three way race for that, though.

May the luckiest man/boy win. :D

[yankee]

sorry guys, i had a very busy weekend and i think the time zone difference didn't help me out either so i wasn't able to update my roster after the first round. next major (PGA?), i'll be more competitive. or, at least i'll try harder.

[Favpack]

No problem yankee - I figured that. PGA should be fun.

[SWMHebron]

May the luckiest man/boy win. :D

Lady? ??

Indeed - SWM has been given some motivation. :D

yikes...sorry about that. Lady/Man/Boy. There I put you in front. :)
