August 7, 20187 yr Well, just laid $75 on F. Molinari to win the PGA at +2800. Let's see what kind of weekend we get.
August 9, 20187 yr We using this for the PGA Championship thread? Okay - hackers take over PGA servershttps://golfweek.com/2018/08/08/hackers-target-pga-servers-seek-bitcoin-ransom/ Quote ST. LOUIS — It’s not just elections. Hackers are now targeting major golf tournaments too. Shadowy bandits have hijacked the PGA of America’s computer servers, locking officials out of crucial files related to this week’s PGA Championship at Bellerive Country Club and the upcoming Ryder Cup in France. Staff realized Tuesday morning that their systems had been compromised when attempts to work on the files generated an ominous message: “Your network has been penetrated. All files on each host in the network have been encrypted with a strong algorythm [sic].” Any attempt to break the encryption could cause the loss of all of the work, the hackers warned. “This may lead to the impossibility of recovery of certain files,” the message threatened. The files contained creative materials for the PGA Championship at Bellerive and next month’s Ryder Cup in France. That includes extensive promotional banners and logos used in digital and print communications, and on digital signage around the grounds at Bellerive. The stolen files also include development work on logos for future PGA Championships. Some of the work began more than a year ago and cannot be easily replicated.
August 9, 20187 yr Well let’s make our picks people. Always rooting for Jordan but his wonky putting will keep him from winning this week and the grand slam. He also likes fast greens and these are going to be very slow for a major. I keep waffling between DJ and Koepka but I’m going with DJ. For darkhorse I’m going between Thomas Pieters and Gary Woodland. Guess I’ll take Pieters

August 9, 20187 yr How the hell is TNT not providing all day coverage? This is pretty much the only golf they show all year. Big names all day long. And coverage is not starting until 1 pm. Hell, CBS Sports Network is gonna do "On the Range" at the PGA from 11 am to 1 pm. Just bullshit.

August 9, 20187 yr DJ drops 2 shot coming in but still finishes at -3. Kisner is -3 with one hole left. Really want him to be an automatic qualifier for the Ryder Cup team.

August 10, 20187 yr Hogan was right. He predicted that if the rules of golf didn’t address the size of the hole all tournaments would more or less be come glorified putting contests. Green books, along with emergence of the power game and solid ball has allowed the casual fan to believe that those types elements are the deciding factor. But in truth the are not. A perfect example is Simpson winning the TPC. The guy putted lights out, punched way above his weight and saved multiple pars, not by hitting great approach shots. But by making putts in the 20’ range that his ass never fucking makes. We have all played with guys who can shoot 72-75 at our club, and who never seem to find the fairway. Yet get them on the green and they take your fucking money. Same thing applies here. Whichever guy finds a way to putt way beyond his normal number (say average 25 instead of their normal 31) per round will win. And it won’t make a damn how fucking far he hits his drives, proximity to the hole, or his wedge play. The guy who putts best wins most. Now, give DJ Zach Johnson’s putting ability he would win everything.
August 10, 20187 yr I've said it for years- if DJ could figure out how to become a good, consistent, putter, he would win everything.
August 10, 20187 yr The Tiger hype seems more unbearable for this tournament than usual. I guess the near miss at the British Open got everyone sucking his dick again.
August 10, 20187 yr I cannot imagine why the comeback of one of the greatest golfers in history would be interesting.Fuck off with that weak bullshit.
August 10, 20187 yr His comeback hasn't been that interesting.The huge fucking crowds that follow him on the course strongly disagree.
August 10, 20187 yr The huge fucking crowds that follow him on the course strongly disagree.They're missing some good golf then.

August 10, 20187 yr The huge fucking crowds that follow him on the course strongly disagree.Over 50 million people voted for Trump. I’ll show myself out.

August 10, 20187 yr Yes, two of my picks are in the top 3 and my other two are tied for 4th including both dark horses. Money spent on betting on these picks = $0.00
