Well,I haven't seen the interviews or anything like that,and I usually need those on Friday Evening,and that's the best way I can tell who has a good chance.Cabrera was beaming on Friday Night of the U.S. OPEN.If you had tapes of past Major golf tournaments,you would see David Toms,and Sean Micheel both incredibly confident the week of their major wins.Same with Beem(haven't seen that one confident since.)It really is about reading their body language,and demeanor.You only have to cap one person at a time.It isn't like baseball etc, that is determined by multiple players performances.
The truth is that a lot of these guys can win it if they have "their week." I don't usually do well by logically saying somebody will win based on their game coming into the tournament.That is much harder than reading somebody's confidence.If Harrington is gunna win one of these majors,it's probably gunna be here,or ST.Andrews. He has done very well on these courses. Same goes for Westwood,but neither has done much in majors,so it's tough to take Harrington at just 17-1.It's easier for me to take Westwood at 80-1.You'll see my pick based on confidence(tomorrow night) do much better than my picks based on past performance(like the 2 I just mentioned.)
