2013 PGA Championship at Oakhill CC.

The PGA is here - Talk about it and pick a winner!

U-Pick 'Em Game.

For the last major of the year lets blow the thing wide open. Pick 8 any 8, and combine the prize money of your 4 best players - the most money wins! During the Tiger blowout, the CBS announcers were talking about the money 2nd and 3rd place get, and they were trying to build excitement through the pressure these guys have for every shot they miss. This format will make it fun and different when a couple of your guys are fading like yesterday's daisies on a warm August evening in New York.

Pick 8 from the following list of entrants;

Hunter Mahan
Tiger Woods
Phil Michelson
Jason Dufner
Brandt Snedeker
Dustin Johnson
Jordan Spieth

I'm staying away from the Euros this week. I bet Michelson plays poorly this week, Tiger will be there on the weekend but still lose and I think Dufner wins this week.

I've got me two Euro's, and a teenager in my field. Himenif should have a good week, and I have him as my ace up my sleeve. It's funny to note that I've backed Phil in this for years, but did not pick him in the British Open.

This has got to be the bravest pick so far considering his best finish in the PGA was T10 and that was 14 years ago.

I love DT going with Tommy "Two Gloves" Gainey.

I love DT going with Tommy "Two Gloves" Gainey.

I like DH going with Ryan Moore, and don't like Smokey going with Cink. He's already swirled and is halfway to the gooseneck.

Edit: Upon review there's a lot of safe picks out there, and just enough "out there" picks to make it interesting. So far, everyone has picked Tiger, so he's a wash, and smokey and y84it didn't choose Phil like everyone else did.

My PGA Pledge. If Phil wins I'll poke myself with a needle and make myself bleed, for I'll know that for the rest of my life I will never be more alive than in that moment. Anybody else?
