Liam_RFC 238 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Really lookin forward to this its not my fav Major but still enjoy it Anyone think Harrington will defend his tittle after a very poor few months for i cant see by Woods cant see anyone gettin close to him Al have my usual bet of Cabrera 50/1 Fisher 40/1, Westwood 28/1, Goosen 28/1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GersDude90 1 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I think Harrington has a great chance. After changing his swing after the PGA win last year he been totally out of sorts, but managed to get his game together for the WGC last week. He really looked in good shape, and barr 1 or 2 poor shots on the 16th could potentially have been Woods. I thought Woods was a dead cert for the Open. He was in great form. And i was working there throughout the practise rounds and he was unbelievably good. But went on and missed the cut so who really knows? I must say though, 2 rounds of 65 in the last 2 rounds at Firestone is not to be overlooked. I would like to see Garcia win it, and when he inevatabley doesnt i'd like to see Westwood win. He must still be kicking himself about the Open. Robert Allenby also had a very good WGC, if he putts well he'll be up there, and i'd imagine he's placed as somewhat of an outsider. Is Casey fit for this? He was playing a practise round to see if he could handle it but i dont know any more. Fisher wont win - If he's anywhere near it he'll bottle. I hope he doesnt, because i really like him, but i reckon he will. I cant remember ever seeing Hazeltine, is it not a brute of a course? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KERRZO 5 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 The USPGA is usually my favourite as it always has the strongest field. The Masters is my least favourite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do u know if hes got the bottle or not hes not been in that situation yet well except maybe the open but that was early on also a think harrington should have won last week but was unlucky with his ly on the 16th Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GersDude90 1 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Fishers bottled an awful lot of good finishes in his career. There was the open - dont think you can grudge him that too much, his wife was due a baby and all that. There was the open last year. He wasnt near winning it, but had a chance of a great finish. The US open, was well in contention. Alot of European tour events as well. I think he's a brilliant player, and has done very well in majors so far, i just dont think he has what it takes yet to actually win one yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_1 1,136 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Tiger Woods, -2 after 6 holes, this is looking ominous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GersDude90 1 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Tiger Woods, -2 after 6 holes, this is looking ominous. Doesnt surprise me. He'll be going all out to get at least one major this year. And the way he played the final 2 rounds at Firestone was magic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GersDude90 1 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Woods now -3 through 11. Mahan also -3. My pick though (stuck a fiver on him) Robert Allenby is leading on -4. C'mon you big Aussie! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasGers 96 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Frankly, I'll be shocked if Woods doesn't win this. That being said, I also thought he would win the last 3 majors... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GersDude90 1 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I backed my usual player, Hunter Mahan, along with Kenny Perry (150/1) Mahan's looking very good just now. -4 playing the 9th (his last) He's had a few decent finished in majors this year hasn't he?

Muff 245 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I like him, and always back him in the major/big tournaments. Hits the ball well from tee to green, just needs to hole more putts. Tiger and Mahan in the final group on Sunday. Looks like Tiger has been driving well today. If he can keep it up, then he'll walk away with the PGA!

GersDude90 1 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 He does usually seem to be up there. I can't say i look out for him very often though, he seems a bit of a knob. Totally, looks like he's just been going for his 10/15 yard fade, which suits him perfectly. If he keeps up the form he's being showing he'll win this by a few shots.

Muff 245 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 -5, 67 for Tiger. Missed birdie putts on the final two holes. Great start by the World's number 1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GersDude90 1 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Some really poor play for the afternoon players. Cink +3, and thats after recovering his score a bit! No real movement, i think -2 is the best so far. Tiger still on top at -5, with Harrington 1 back on -4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
