Who will win the PGA Championship, glory’s last shot? Or should I say which Irishman?

During this week of the PGA Tour season I get a little bummed out.  Glory’s Last Shot means the season is winding down.  Before I know it there will be snow on the ground here in Salt Lake and every other blog post will be me whining about it.  There’s still some good golf to be be played though, both by the tours and locally.

Aussies?

Jason Day

Jason Day is my PGA Champ pick

My PGA Championship Pick: Jason Day

I think Jason Day‘s “day” will come, this week. Day has been playing some spectacular golf and knocking on the door of major championships for a year now.  He seems to be close to winning every major these days, 2nd place finishes in this year’s Masters and U.S. Open.  Just looked at Day’s money list stats for the last 4 years a minute ago and it shows a total rising star.  Back in 2008 he made $700K, 2009 $1.2M, 2010 $2.9M and this year already at $3.1M and counting.

The one thing which could derail Day would be his confidence level.  He seems to be a bit fragile and hard on himself.  Perhaps a little too emotional sometimes on the course.  Can he keep it in check?

After watching Adam Scott‘s big win last week, there doesn’t seem to be a better ball striker playing right now.  Name me one?  Another Aussie with a good chance of winning.

Irishmen?

Seems like Ireland owns major championships lately between Darren Clarke, Graeme McDowell and Rory McIlory.  I’d mention Padraig Harrington too, but his game seems to be a jigsaw puzzle right now, for him.  Which Irishman has the best chance this week?  To me that is obviously the future PGA Tour member Rory McIlory.

American Players?

Tiger Woods

As I’ve been saying for a week or two now, Tiger Woods‘s comeback will be a work in progress and cannot be judged by a few rounds, or a tournament or two.  How well will Tiger fare this week? I don’t think Tiger will win, and I doubt he’ll be a huge factor.  But by saying that, I wonder if I’m putting part of my foot in my mouth already.  I just haven’t seen anything yet to lead me to believe he will perform really well.

Rory McIlroy to play PGA Tour in 2012

Rory McIlroyRory McIlroy confirmed on Golf Channel’s Morning Drive show that he will in fact be taking up membership on the PGA Tour in 2012. Score a point for the PGA Tour over the European Tour for sure. I’m very excited to hear that we’ll be seeing Rory more here in the states.

And speaking of Rory, how do you think he’ll fare in the PGA Championship this week. He was so close last year.


Bomb scare at my home course

Time for another episode of  “strange things you find on the golf course.”

Just stopped by to visit my buddy named Guy (a.k.a. Golf4Birds) who runs my home course, River Oaks.  I couldn’t help noticing the bizarre thing on a chair in his office which looked like World War II bomb.  I tried to move the item, but it is seriously made of solid lead.

Anybody know what this is?

A course marshal saw this bomb looking thing in the bushes between holes 7 & 8 on July 20th.  They shut down that end of the course for the police and fire department to investigate and routed everyone away from those holes, having to give refunds to the patrons.  It wasn’t a bomb fortunately.  The theory is that it is some sort of boat/trolling weight or something like that.
