Squeegiebo Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Okay folks. Final major of the year, and I need to submit my lineup of 5 before the stroke of midnight tonight. My choices are: Tiger Woods Padraig Harrington Darren Clarke Luke Donald Lee Westwood Peter Lonard Brad Faxon Hunter Mahan Stephen Leaney Jose Maria Olazabal Steve Elkington I'm thinking Woods, Harrington, Clarke, Donald, and Elkington. But I'm still thinking about Lonard or Olazabal instead of Elk. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down Goes Frazia Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 (edited) well you wouldn't listen to me a month ago @ St. andrews....... why would I waste my time again.

Squeegiebo Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 Westwood drives me crazy. When I play him, he sucks. When I don't he does well. Same goes for Olazabal. Why do you suggest them - just a hunch, or for a particular reason? I feel pretty good about Donald. I think he has the game to compete with the big dogs, and I read this: ADVANTAGE DONALD: Luke Donald has a slight advantage over the rest of the PGA Championship field at Baltusrol. He played the A.W. Tillinghast-designed course during the 2000 U.S. Amateur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he has the game to compete with the big dogs, and I read this: 919744[/snapback] Partial hunch, partial Olazabal seems to nut up in majors. I can't recall much about Baltesurol (I hacked that up) to give advise on who's game fits that course. I hear what you are saying about Westwood, watched him play in the Ryder Cup last year and he played real well when I thought he was a weak link for the Euros. I think there is more reward to risk with those two then Luke. That's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeegiebo Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 (edited) Partial hunch, partial Olazabal seems to nut up in majors. 919822[/snapback] Except the Masters this year - the one Major in which I actually started him. Thanks for the advice! Edited August 10, 2005 by Squeegiebo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down Goes Frazia Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 baltusrol is not the same course it was in '93 when Jansen won the US open there. It's way, way, longer....... WAY longer - advantage long hitters. your 1st. 4 are locks IMO woods, clarke, paddy & donald. olazabal has been rock solid this year..... nothing flashy but cashing paychecks regularly. i ain't got the nads to suggest lonard....... and i basically share the same thoughts on westwood that you do. although he's not long....... he's so good from 200 & in that I still like him.

Down Goes Frazia Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 BTW Squeeg....... team DGf for the pga is woods, dimarco, perry & leonard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeegiebo Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 BTW Squeeg....... team DGf for the pga is woods, dimarco, perry & leonard 919918[/snapback] You said Olazabal last time, I didn't listen, and dude finished top 3. I'm listening this time. Olazabal it is. Your lineup isn't exactly full of long hitters for that monster course, but I do like that Woods kid. He's really gonna make a name for himself someday. Go Tiger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefjay Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 (edited) Elk's -3 through 4, sorry Squeege. Edit to add, Tiger +2 through 6. Course must be tough, a lot of high scores out there. Duval just can't get it back. Edited August 11, 2005 by chiefjay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down Goes Frazia Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Elk's -3 through 4, sorry Squeege. 921106[/snapback] elk will fold like a dome tent on everest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
