Who was the last person in this thread to pick the winner of a Major? Kameh with Sergio at the Masters?

Shrapnig picked Reed for 2018 Masters.

BCRock picked Morikawa for 2020 PGA.

shyduck picked Hideki for 2021 Masters.

I did not go back beyond 2018.

Edit - Keyser_Soze picked JT for the 2017 PGA and then switched his pick to JB Holmes for some reason!

Back in the day the USGA used to do secret themed pairings, like the Prick Pairing (most generally unliked players put together) and the turtles (slowest guys put together and thrown out last)

I wonder if they still do poo poo like that.

I found that thread and remember the strategy was it was sloppy and muddy as hell out and Holmes was a notorious "mudder" who had won in the past at Quail Hollow but only good for 28th that time! :newlol:

First tee times at 6:45am, you have another 35 minutes to get your picks in!

I can't imagine teeing off that early, especially in a major. You get to the range an hour early to warm up, wake up an hour before that to shower and get to the range, we're looking at a 4:30am wakeup. No me gusta.

Brooks Koepka was granted permission by Srixon to play his old TaylorMade M5 driver and Titleist Pro V1x this week. He's gonna win.

For posterity, after finding out Lowry was paired with Phil, I wanted to switch to Justin Rose (already picked by that point). Would've then switched to Matt Fitzpatrick but he's one of the betting favorites.

But we're still the best dressed
I'm sure this has come up in pools before but, just so I'm clear, if there is a withdrawal before first tee off (like Ancer today) the person who picked them just keeps their money?

Actually I don't think this has happened before. You're always welcome to change your picks until the first shot of the tournament, but if you aren't able to in case of a last minute WD, it's fairest to just drop you from the pool.

1st round up. Fml I knew I should’ve picked Justin Rose!

I couldn’t fit Phil into the screenshot but he’s the missing one at +8. He ruined Lowry’s round. :colbert:

Cam Smith just bent the shaft on his lob wedge after a bad chip by repeatedly slamming the shaft just above the hosel against his foot. He's +4 thru 14, +6 overall.

Every time I glance at the game someone is pounding a wedge against a bunker or patch of rough. I love it.
