Take your pick!!

Week 2: PGA Championship.

It looks like a links but it's not a links is the only bit of informtation going around about Whistling Straits this week. Thanks for that guys. So what is it?
  • Well, it has four par fives, of which only 1 is reachable to the mere mortal in 2 shots. But they will try anyway lol. 
  • The greens are fast but i'd imagine very difficult when it dries out in the afternoon.
  • Weather is expected to be good, and not so windy over Thursday and Friday so no draw advantage.  scattered thunderstorms on Friday possible.


Just when you least expect, El Nino strikes.
 Sergio Garcia 1pt E/W @ 80/1 Skybet 1,2,3,4,5,6 places

Who's stupid enough to pick El Nino this week? Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Reasoning: He's not played that badly the past few weeks, driving it well, also has good par 5 birdie or better stats. Cons, too many to mention, but he rarely plays appalingly and it may just take one moment to spark him into life.  Here's hoping he doesn't have one eye on his vacation already. Not really sure why he played at the Greenbrier either.

Ryo Ishikawa 1 pt E/W @ 175/1 Stan James @ 6 places
Plays way beyond his years, which should suits the majors. Closed well last week at firsetone, intelligent player. Outside chance though.

 Rory Sabatini .5 pts E/W @ 175/1 Skybet @ 6 places.
Drove it well last week, great GIR last week too. If he can maintain his game going into this week, could be an interesting pick.

Jerry Kelly 1 pt E/W @ 250/1 @ 6 places Paddypower
Had to, after last week. He played the par 5's well last week which could be key here.
