I still believe Tiger's win at the Masters was a fluke. Rory shot a 61 on Sunday to win the Canadian Open. And Brooks Koepka will probably sleepwalk his way to a top 5 finish.

Phil won't win. Phil will never win the U.S. Open.

gently caress it, I'm switching my pick to Jason Day. He may have missed the cut at The Memorial last week but he has Stevie Williams on the bag and he finished T4 at the AT&T Pebble Beach earlier this year.

Adam Scott was my original pick but he doesn't play that well at U.S. Opens. I'm gonna feel like an idiot if he wins the pool though.

I might skip this one. The US open has become somewhat of a joke of a golf tournament. While there is entertainment value in watching the USGA flail around, I can't see myself paying much attention.

Pebble Beach is a good layout and I don't think the USGA is going to screw it up badly. Besides, live golf from 7-10pm is pretty :cool:

I'm kinda hating my Jason Day pick atm. I originally had Adam Scott then Matsuyama... but now I'm feeling like Stenson.

Koepka’s drive on 1 lands in a divot, he hits it to 15 feet and drains the birdie.

He’s gonna 3peat.

I watched Snedeker top a 3 wood 8 yards into a fairway bunker in person at the 2016 PGA. That’s by far the worst shot I’ve ever seen a pro hit either live or on TV.

Ugh I should’ve bet Hovland to finish top 20, I’m sure the odds would’ve been great. Won at Pebble Beach and low am at the Masters. He was in the back of my mind but I didn’t look that up ughhhhhh

Edit: apparently he was +138 to make the cut so top 20 was probably no better than +500
