It’s Major time and we’re heading off to Torrey Pines South Course – an excursion to a Californian public course to add some variety to the US major rotation. The course should allow for some sub-par scoring, in contrast to Oakmont’s brutal rough and roller-coaster greens last time around. The last four US Open champs have been southerners – southern hemisphere that is – Goosen (SAF) Michael Campbell (NZ) Ogilvy (AUS) Cabrera (ARG). Woods hasn’t won the US Open since 2002, and Furyk won it the year after. The big question? Will Tiger’s New Knee hold-up in his first tournament post-surgery? He practically owns Torrey Pines with 6 wins in 11 starts, but he’s only just started hitting full shots – a big ask even for a superhuman golf dynamo. Phil Mick has won 3 times at Torrey, and another half dozen top 10s there, so would otherwise be a big favourite to add to his resume of majors. Can an Aussie pick up where Ogilvy left off two years ago? Can Scott break through the invisible barrier that stops him contending in majors? Etc?
Reverse every natural instinct you have and do just the opposite of what you are inclined to do and you will probably come very close to having a perfect golf swing. - BEN HOGAN, POWER GOLF |

I’m hoping to see Appelby win the title in a playoff with Weir, Holmes and Leonard. Would make me a very rich boy :-)
1-L, it is all there my friend. |

OK, enough blather, you know the drill. You have until Thursday night to get in your new entries or squad changes. Top 3 squads win fab prize packs from Vision Golf – cutting edge golf balls, sweet caps and happy Jumbo Tees to put a grin on your face when you hit it off the toe into a hazard. And the winner gets a lazy $2 mil to add to his swag on the ISG Money List. Main Competition Thread and Rules You choose 4 players, one from Oz, one from the US, one from somewhere else, and one from anywhere. Total ranking points have to be 10.00 or less. You can only make one change to your Memorial Squad. You can keep the change you made for the St Jude, or rescind it and make a different change. Or just stick with your Memorial squad if you like ala Sidman. You can nominate or change your alternate (2.00 points or less), but he won’t be eligible to play in the US Open. OK get to it ladies and gents…

Too late to enter a squad??
Feel it, execute it, live with it. |

Nah, you have until 1st tee time. (U.S. time of course) so I suppose about 10pm this evening.
The key to success is to learn to do something right, then do it right every time. Oh I wish..... |

Nice team Charlie, just amend by putting in the current world golf rankings for your players with a total of no more than 10 points. Will save Muntz doing it for you.

Welcome aboard to a bunch of new tipsters for the US Open, which takes us past 50 registered squads altogether. Some of the newbie picks aren’t in the US Open though: oforpar: Nathan Green Toms Harrington Quigley (You can compete with 3 players, but 4 gives you a better chance.) I’ll let you guys juggle your squads until midnight AEST.

Not sure if I’m allowed to enter being a new guy and all, but if possible, here’s my pick: (INT’L) Ryuji Imada (2.2) Total: 9.94

Okay amended squad on account that Lonard is not playing Goggin for Lonard Flesch for Ogilivie Squad Now: 1. Sergio Garcia (ESP) 5.22 Total: 9.96
Feel it, execute it, live with it. |

Righto, so I am going to keep my 4 because I would have to drop O’Hern for someone with les than .68…...brave call? The way I see it Sergio will win at -6, Weir will shoot about -3 and Bubba will just miss the cut at +4….you know where to send the winnings Muntz :o)
A bad day at golf is better than a good day at work. |

Yair, OK. But if you win we break your kneecaps…. :0) Bit of internet humour there…

Yea I am in a similar position, my squad equals like 11.7 or something so there is no real way to make a change anymore.
1-L, it is all there my friend. |

Oh, and we’ve already got an AlexMc in the competition – any relation…?

You could drop Justin Leonard of course – that would leave you with 1.99 to spend. Lotsa good players for that kind of coin.
