If it feels like the British Open just ended a week ago, that's because it did. The PGA Championship has been moved up a month due to the Olympics, which is a super clusterfuck since the top 4 golfers in the world are skipping the Olympics.

Baltusrol is about 10 miles west of Newark airport so it's basically in NYC. It's on the National Register of Historic Places and a National Historic Landmark, and Phil won the last time the PGA was played here in 2005.

Adam Scott is garbage tier and I kinda really wanted to pick Phil for the British Open anyway so I think I have to pick him here.

When it's because of thoughtful course design or location, sure.

When it's from a philosophy of LONGER, FIRMER, NARROWER (bonus points for allowing 80% of your course to die and calling it "environmentalism" :jerkbag:) it doesn't particularly own, imotyvm

I always kinda liked the PGA for that reason, it's the top "normal" golf tournament in the world.

meh, I want Jhonny to win but since he's been hot 2 straight weeks, going to go with Kevin Chappell instead, who has been resting since "The" Open and played great at what I am guessing is a similar track to Baltusrol (Firestone). I know poo poo about any similarities for sure though.

Kevin Chappell :911: :ca:

It's also raining like hell in Jersey right now but it's supposed to dry out the rest of the week so the greens should have firmed up by Thursday.

You fools don't want to believe how well he plays in The Open. It's his favorite major.

Speaking of Sergio, why didn't you put me down for him this week?:agesilaus:

Annd Phil pushes his 1st tee shot into the rough.

Leads to a bogey. I'm ruined.

I didn't pick Stenson because I thought, people don't really win the British and PGA back 2 back and there's no way he can keep up that putting performance. Never mind that winning any 2 majors back 2 back is hard. Never mind that a small drop in putting could still have him win the pool. Never mind they're 2 weeks sort this week and you can ride a period of good play.

At least everyone is still alive.
