PGA championship pool

The PGA has always been the red-headed stepchild of the majors, and the lack of interest in it on this board illustrates it perfectly. I think we got through today's round without a running thread, which seems impossible.

 

CRAP... I was traveling yesterday and today and didn't get in.... so someone else gets to take the SportsJournalists.com Wanamaker Trophy home.

BubbaFett, you're unfortunately right about the PGA, which is a shame. It has the best field of all the majors and is one of the best run from a media and course setup standpoint.

BTW if anyone's here at Medinah, I just got into Chicago this afternoon. PM me.

 

I am not in last? WOOHOO.

I herebyu modify my "If every SportsJournalists.com handle were a free agent" post to read: I would take "Snakes on a Plane"....woohoo I'm ahead.

 

I think we should toss out the club pros -- specifically Ron Philo -- who probably couldn't beat me on my worst day. Only reason I took him is because I've interviewed his sister a couple of times.
And remember, I told you guys cink would win.

 

Team Snakes On A Plane is kind of like Phil Mickelson. We almost won the British Open Pool, but blew a huge lead after two rounds to lose by one stroke.

A two stroke lead going into the second round is nothing. Hopefully Tiger goes super low and my non-pro pro (who shot a +1) plays well, but not well enough to make the cut.

 

Folks, just an FYI, the pool will not be updated again until Saturday a.m. at earliest. I'll be too busy getting drunk tonight to worry about it.

 

Some commissioner you are. </sarcasm>

Would Paul Tagliabue go out and get drunk, mid-event?
How about David Stern?
Or Bud Selig?
Or that hockey guy?

 

Hey, I was the only one willing to even put together a pool, seeing as Freelance was drunk asleep on the job. ;D

 

Not in the pool, but here's hoping Billy Mayfair goes nut and shoots 65-66 on the weekend to win the thing.

 

I'm stunned at how little conversation we've had here. It's a major with Tiger and Phil in the same group, and Ryder Cup spots on the line, yet the thread was at the bottom of page two.

Taylor, Johnson and Wetterich missed the cut and likely cost themselves a spot on the U.S. team.

Medinah Muskrats (582, +6, CUT)

 

A couple of quick notes:
Congrats to myself, Doc and Joe Schmoe for having three guys miss the cut, yet pick three alternates who made the cut. Whew!

And dolt award of the week goes to LWilhite, who proudly proclaimed he wouldn't need an alternate. He's tied for the lead but missed the cut because ... uh, he needed an alternate for Mike Small missing the cut. Sorry dude.
