US Open Pool 2015

[SJ76]

This worked well for the Master's. I'm starting it a bit early so we have almost a full week to get picks in.

Pick 5 guys, 4 must make the cut. Total score from 4 best players wins with a tiebreaker being what you think will be the winning individual total score. Fordman hooked us up last time and 1500 vCash went to the winner, 500 vCash to 2nd place.

So for example, I could pick:
Woods
Watson
Els
Scott
Spieth

tiebreaker: -10 (-2,-3,-2,-3 -> 4 rounds)

If you have any questions, let me know or go look at the Master's Pool thread.

 

[R.J. MacReady]

This course is going to make educated guesses impossible.

It's a links course in the US. So do you pick great links players or is it really a faux links course that plays much easier that a traditional links course? The reports seem to suggest it's the real deal.

Going to have to chew on this one.

I heard it's borderline goofy golf. Greens are crazy.

No need to rush, just need the picks in by mid-next week (before Thursday 1st tee off time AM).

Philbert = Michelson?
DJ = Dustin Johnson?
Scott = adam?

I have to make sure because the master's pool someone put Watson and Johnson and it could be Bubba/Tom or DJ/Zach.

The early reports from the players is this could get ugly if the green speeds are like they were for the US AM held there. I've heard the USGA has tried to tame the greens, but it does seem like the real deal.

Man, this is going to be touch. If a guy loses it off the tee his score could balloon on one hole. I'm going

Spieth
Rory
Phil
Furyk
Fowler

I'd go with Scoll but I don't think his putting is going to get it done.

Haha no, although I do have a friend from high school with the same name. He grew up less than a mile from the course and has played it a bunch. My dark horse pick.

Goofy golf

I am looking forward to it. Looking forward to the whining after each round too.

I also want to see who manages to hit the one lonely tree on the course. You just know someone is going to do it.
