Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 USPGA, last major of the golfing year starts on Thursday coming. Feels strange being so early because of the Olympics and the British Open just finishing. Looking at this, I see it as the last big opportunity for players to make the Ryder Cup Team on merit, actually think there is a group of players (Lowry, Dubisson, Knox etc ) playing for one place as Westwood and Kaymer are certs as it stands for wildcard picks. I think I'll back Mcilroy as he is a hit putter away from taking a course apart. Also thinking about outside bets for Garcia and Westwood just through wanting them to do well. Here's hoping the golf is as good as it was at the British Open. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dummiesoot 16,002 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Another outsider bet for Sergio and Lee, I think Knox is due a big week in a major. For the front runners price -wise I think DJ for his second major. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had been, he'd be in sixth place. His accuracy of the tee and GIR make him the ideal doubles partner. Agree he'll still have to put in a shift though.

Yeah I think his big choice is between Knox as the American based player who looks a ready made player for the doubles or Lowry who has won in America and is a good match play player. Can Casey get a wildcard even though he opted out of European Tour Card? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can Casey get a wildcard even though he opted out of European Tour Card? No not possible for Casey. Don't think he's interested anyway. The problem for Clarke is that Knox is 6th in the FedEx cup. Ryder cup selection is made after the first tournament in the FedEx. Leave Knox out and he performs well in the last three legs then he could be made to look stupid. If Knox can finish 12th he'll get there i think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah worked that way for America two years ago, Monday Billy Horschel played superb n never got in the team. Casey is a strange one, would walk into the team but chose not to play.

GMac 1,405 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Interesting the last three majors at Baltusrol 1980 Nicklaus leader after first round, went on to win 1993 Lee Janzen, one shot off the lead after first round, went on to win 2005 Mickelson, leader after first round, went on to win. Suggests it's a course without too many chances. Couple of reckless shots and there's no way back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudrup1984 25,100 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Apparently the course took a bit of a pounding today with rain and practice was ultimately suspended due to lightning. Winds of 40-50 mph are meant to be "the norm"!!!!!!! Hopefully it dies down a bit but the USPGA love to make it difficult and hate anyone getting under par! From today..........
