It's that time of year again...
Ok, here's the deal... 5 players each. No Tiger. $50 for the team that earns the most cashola. $50 bonus if the Open winner is on your team.
Excal is $50 in the hole from our Master's bet, and I get first pick... it's in the comment section.

Ok, here are the teams and the order they were drafted.
New Tex: Furyk, Singh, Donald, Casey, Mickelson
Excal: Z. Johnson, Scott, Toms, Cink, Verplank
My draft board had Furyk, Singh and Donald 1-3, and I wouldn't have picked Toms or Cink if this went 10 deep. So... I am either going to win big or feel like a complete idiot.
With the first pick in the 2007 US Open draft, New Tex selects... Gregt Oden.
ReplyDeleteWait... wrong sport.
I'll take Jim Furyk
Hmmm... Zachariah Johnson
ReplyDeleteVJ
ReplyDeleteAdam Great Scott!!!
ReplyDeleteLuke Donald
ReplyDeleteDavid Toms
ReplyDeletePaul Casey
ReplyDeleteWhat a draft so far... I have my top 3 picks, and you've taken 2 guys I didn't have in my top 8.
ReplyDeleteI am going to feel like a true idiot if you beat me this time.
Stewart Cink Sank Sunk
ReplyDeleteI can't leave him out there...
ReplyDeleteAt 5th... he has to be a bargain...
Mickelson.
come on, come on... we all know you are taking PH.
ReplyDeleteScott Verplank....Don't laugh
ReplyDeleteI like the Verplank pick... if you took Mick 4th, I would have gone to Verplank.
ReplyDeleteCink and Toms... now that is laughable.
Yea...and Paul Casey is drawing my awe
ReplyDeleteYes, well... when you handed me my top 3, I decided to take a flyer on Casey... afterall, he had the low final 54 holes at this year's masters and last year's open... a nice pick at 4, I think.
ReplyDeleteWhere the hell did the Toms and Cink picks come from? 2003?
Toms and Cink are grinders. Both have the mental gmae, which is paramount in a US open.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm... then how come Toms' Open record is as follows:
ReplyDelete1996: Cut
1997: WD
1998: DNP
1999: cut
2000: t16
2001: t66
2002: t45
2003: t5
2004: t20
2005: t15
2006: wd
Not a whole lotta success there... 1 top 10 in 11 years.
Cink is a little better, but if memory serves, he grinded a 3-putt from 15 feet to miss an Open playoff by a spot.
I am just shocked that you left The Goose and Harrington on the table.
It's also interesting that Cink had his best success at the Open in the year's preceding that 3-putt...
ReplyDeleteDon't you ever work???
ReplyDeleteI know... googling and copy/pasting takes hours... how do I ever find the time? I guess they'll have to dock me the 90 seconds that took.
