I’m sitting on DJ, Morikawa and Berger tickets.. but if I were to bet live I would back Morikawa. He is a special talent, knows the course, is playing well and has already proven himself to be a killer. I would back Morikawa at 10-1 heading into today if I wanted to back someone to chase down DJ. Champ has already won 2 events in his short career (albeit 2 weak events). He is live, and I am not sure he will fold today.. but I feel more strongly about Morikawa. DJ wins this IMO.

If there were fans I'd easily pick Koepka as he doesn't get rattled as easily. You could be right though, Morikawa is a special player.

I think DJ personally folds and he's been too reliant on his putter this week. He is 0 for 4 when leading a major going into the final round.

Just curious what the 4 were. The 2010 US Open I know. That was his big collapse. The 2018 USO and 2015 USO he was tied with three others going into the last day so those have a little asterisk. Can’t think of the 4th.

Personally I don’t think DJ succumbs to nerves. He has 21 wins and a major. Some of it’s just bad luck or someone just plays better. His head seems a bit wonky for him to get too caught up in winning or losing. He just does his thing.

He also just posted a great round which is tough to do back to back.

The one I remember was having a 3 foot putt to win and he 3 putted and lost to Spieth on 18.

DJ struggled to hit the fairways yesterday. He made crazy long puts all day. I don’t expect his putting to be that lucky again. So if he struggles hitting the fairways today, no way he wins.

Who are the 10 guys you have to win in the top 20 you mentioned the other day coming into the final round Mike ? So we’re all clear where you stand today ?

I think he’s 0-3 with two of those coming with a crowded co-lead and one coming his first real breakout season in 2010. So i wouldn’t take too much stock into that.

It’s hard to have back to back good rounds but it’s doable if you have talent like DJ. And conditions seem pretty easy today thus far. I’m not rooting for him by any means but I’m expecting him to win.

BeatTheJerk · 08-09-20, 11:55 AM

I was being sarcastic, I believe you mentioned five guys no names besides Jason day.

And with those pin placements I don’t see him taking this

I'm personally expecting Koepka or Morikawa to take it. I think champ and scheffler feel the pressure and shoot over par and DJ struggles.

pimike · 08-09-20, 12:19 PM

I got Kopeka still alive/Berger/Fleetwood/Day/Simpson back at -3. All alive still.

Hope one comes in.

KnuckleHeadz · 08-09-20, 12:20 PM

DJ won’t be able to focus as Tiger finishes early and may not be practicing social distancing with coked up Paulina

Unrivaled · 08-09-20, 12:23 PM

The thing with DJ is when he feels pressure his putter is so bad. And his ball striking has been bad this week with putter saving him.

I can honestly see a 3 stroke win or complete meltdown and nothing in between.

He ranks 22 in the field this week in strokes gained Ball Striking and 19th in SG off the tee. His ball striking has not been "bad".

My first time entering golf fantasy this morning. I just checked and realized I’m in weekend tournaments too.

My lineups are:
Rahm
Morikawa
Xander
Viktor
Louie
Herman

And

Bryson
Rahm
Morikawa
Kisner
An
Charl

Good luck Rudy!

Second lineup in $25k pool weekend tourney was top 20 before the day began. Ben An on fire with four birdies, including three in a row, on front and just jarred hole in one on 11. Might have a real chance with this lineup with five golfers yet to tee off.

USCPHILLYGUY · 08-09-20, 01:04 PM

I’d love to see Scheffler win at +9000 pre tourney

If Morikawa wins, I’ll be “In Da Money”. Same goes for Xander or Champ.

Golf course industry actually SUCKS right now

So these county/city/state courses are the ones that can survive because they use OUR tax dollars

By the way, why is it called TPC Harding Park?

Oh, because PGA Tour is involved

sick of these goddamn clowns

KVB · 08-09-20, 03:04 PM

Yes bro,, this is what i have been saying all week

RudyRuetigger · 08-09-20, 03:13 PM

I have 200 stories on golf

but on my last beer

KVB · 08-09-20, 03:13 PM

Sorry if it does repeat some things from this thread.

I really wasn't in this thread much until my square end of saturday DJ bets.

Just the kind of losing betting behavior that wins...lol.

RudyRuetigger · 08-09-20, 03:16 PM

I'm going to shit a brick if I lose my heads up weekend match

and its going sour quick

KVB · 08-09-20, 03:21 PM

I can't believe how late anyone that matters is teeing off, and I'm in California.

State of Jefferson, that is,...lol..a growing movement in light of the "progressive" liberal attempts to end of society as we know it.

It's grown even more since then...

KVB · 08-09-20, 03:22 PM

I think it's something you would appreciate Rudy.

navyblue81 · 08-09-20, 03:40 PM

Looks like Bryson gonna be the guy making the move today.
