Dan....my book has Rose at 7/1. While I think those odds stink, I definitely think that Rose is a solid pick and will probably put a couple of units on him. Here is what I'm thinking about at the midway point...will post picks later...

Tiger 7/2 -- Still thinking about this one. The odds are better than before the tourney started...and he's still well within range of the leaders. I hate taking the chalk in a golf tourney, but Tiger has a mental edge over the others...he ability to avoid the big number is just uncanny.....his bogey at No. 2 today was silly...very few on the tour could have pulled that bogey off.

Rose 7/1 -- Minus the double bogey on No. 1 Thursday, this kid has played 35holes at Oakmont at even par....not too shabby.

Watson 18/1 -- Think he'll choke..but these are pretty good odds for a big hitter with a pretty solid putter.

Ames 14/1 -- This goofy lookin' fella can play when he gets hot. He was throwing darts at a lot those holes today when others were struggling.

Cabrera displayed amazing golf skills today...but I fear he's blown his load.

Be back later with picks...had to put my pooch down today. Been a rough day and will be a rough father's day weekend. Those who think "they are just animals" have never had a great dog....13 1/2 years of unrequited love is tough to overcome.
