My 3 friends and i are going to Firefly this weekend, and i've convinced 2 of them to toss $100 each on a golfer and split the coin if we get lucky enough to hit. I was touting Molinari pretty hard (before i even looked at the odds). We have absolute no say in each other's picks, but here's the problem. I already know who they are picking. Tiger and Harrington, two of the faves. Had one of them took a stab on someone different with higher odds, i'd pull the trigger on Molinari without any reluctance. The idiot that i am, ive let that sway me in the way of Justin Rose. Decisions, decisions, decisions..

I would love to see him win, but if feels as though we have been saying "It's his time" for an awfully long time now.

Wouldn't mind seeing him win as well, DB, but I think he has completely mindf*cked himself into never winning one.

With the amount of parity there's been the last few years, I don't know how one can take anybody at < 20-1. I'm no golf guru but these are the ones that would interest me:

Els 33
D Johnson 50
Jacobson 80
Watney 100
Love III 150
Baddeley 150

I also wouldn't bet Luke Donald with Monopoly money.

Pretty solid call so far, Doc. I know it's early, but 65 is an awfully good start.

Here are my picks for the P.A contest.

Matt Kuchar

Zach Johnson

Ian Poulter

Paul Casey

Angel Cabrera

Against my own self-serving interests I am hoping for some real "Open" weather, and the struggles that will follow. In the local golf course pool I have Woods, Scott, Z Johnson, McDowell and a couple others in a best 4 of 6 format, but I still hope for the traditional crap they usually have to play in. I have Donald, Harrington, and Van Pelt backing up theses picks, and only have Donald because Karlsson scratced at the gate. Kaymer blew the break, as did Rose, so maybe Jacobson or Molinari can get me in the winner's circle.......
