Good luck, JoePa...like the picks.
I watched Live From the PGA Championship last night and the more I watched, the more I felt like Tiger is going to be extremely tough to beat this week. He is striking the ball well, he is confident, he doesn't want to go another year without a major championship, and like you said, he stated in an interview yesterday that you won't see much of the driver this weekend. The rough at Southern Hills isn't bad at all, which means if Tiger is hitting 3 wood and 2 iron off the tee and can keep it in the fairway or first cut of rough, he is going to be in good shape. I also have to believe the heat can only help Tiger, as he is one of, if not the most well conditioned athlete on the tour.
Along with your picks, I kind of like Justin Rose at 25/1...he is playing some very solid golf this year. But I'm not sure how the heat will affect him. Long shot guys I'm eyeing are OHern at 100/1 and Weekely at 100/1.
Best of luck, JoePa!!
