A few random thoughts...
If I rip on some of my guys the way I did Bill Murray last week does that mean I can visit the winner's circle too? I've been playing one-and-done for a year and a half and have yet to pick a winner.
Steve Marino had terrible body language down the stretch Sunday. He just doesn't seem like a winner to me.
Match play next week! Watch out for Nick Watney and Peter Hanson, among others.
This week, it's LA, and the field is nothing to spit at despite the losses of Watney, Els and Tim Clark to withdrawals. Stricker defends and is a strong pick after a T2 the year before. Phil, like every venue on the west coast, is a multiple winner. Dustin Johnson finished thrid here last year though the state of his game is in question with his showing at Pebble fresh in our minds. Matt Kuchar returns too after a layoff, and the Euros are beginning to invade in advance of the WGC event next week. Luke Donald is a star on this course, with three consecutive top six finishes, and he is the pick this week. I love his game. JB Holmes is great here too with three top sevens in his last three tries.
Anthony Kim, Padraig Harrington, Zach Johnson, Paul Casey, Rickie Fowler, Retief Goosen, Jason Day, Jim Furyk, Justin Rose, Hunter Mahan and Bubba Watson round out a great field. Mahan has been playing particularly well, though he has just two trips to the weekend at Riviera in five tries.
