Friends, we were
treated to an amazing display of golf in last week’s Open Championship
at Royal Liverpool. Young stars like Rory McIlroy and Rickie Fowler
battled with old guns like Jim Furyk, with even Sergio
Garcia thrown in there for good measure. In the end, Rory held on for a
wire-to-wire win, a truly amazing victory in what was his third victory
in a major. This win certainly comes at a great time for McIlroy, who
had been playing under the shadow of switching
to Nike clubs, his recent publicized breakup and his extreme disdain
for yogurt.
Congratulations to my
good friend Adam “Scott” Pence, who took Rory McIlroy and no doubt could
still be partying over the victory. Adam had been on the Tiger
schedule, making picks every four to five weeks, and
despite this, he’s now made his way up into the top 10 in overall
standings. Let’s also give a shout out to Lost in the Woods and wascally
wabbits on selecting Zach Johnson in the John Deere Classic two weeks
ago. Known for being Footorious B.I.G.’s favorite
golfer of all time, Zach knew this and was inspired to finish second in
the John Deere.
This week, the PGA Tour
heads to Canada for the RBC Canadian Open. A stacked field will be
looking to unwind following the grueling test at Royal Liverpool. Last
year’s defending champion is Brandt Snedeker,
so you can’t pick him. If you’re struggling in the standings, no
worries…maybe this is the weekend you could pull an Adam and climb the
leaderboard! If you miss tonight’s deadline, be sure to email me your
pick by 6:59 a.m. tomorrow morning. Thanks for playing
and good luck!
