This guy has game.

He set up his schedule this year to try to qualify for the Ryder Cup in Valhalla in Kentucky close to his hometown. He is playing events that he has played well in the past. He also hates Torry Pines and hates the 36 hole qualifier he would have had to play to try to get into the Open so he never even signed up for it.

Turns out there were many ways he qualified, so he wouldn't have needed to play a qualifier. Fedex cup points for one- he's 4th right now.

Not at Torrey Pines. He has had lousy results there his entire career. Now people are bagging on him for dropping out. I don't have a problem with it and it makes me feel good to know we have at least one guy that wants to be on the team more than anything.

i just picked one golfer at random...

brett wetterich at pinny is 150-1 at 5dimes he is 300-1

i will bet that 5dimes has drastically better odds on 95% of the golfers

Tiger's injury creating big problems

Posted: Sunday June 08, 2008 09:40AM ET

The evidence simply doesn't add up: 51 days between rounds of golf for Tiger Woods; skipping the Memorial tournament, which he had planned to use as a U.S. Open tune-up; and that photo of Woods riding in a golf cart Wednesday for a practice round at Torrey Pines, site of this week's major championship in San Diego. It all leads the medical and golf community to speculate that Woods' injury to his left knee is more than he's revealing, and the April surgery -- described by Woods as a routine procedure to repair the meniscus, the floating cartilage in the knee -- is probably more serious. Maybe everything isn't "on schedule," as Woods has insisted.

This says absolutely nothing

 

[max1234]

Angle,

Perry wasn't exempt for the Open and his win didn't get him in. He was signed up for the sectional qualifying and chose not to try to qualify so he could concentrate on making the Ryder Cup.


FWIW.... Adam Scott is supposedly nursing a broken finger so I wouldn't expect too much out of him with that rough.

 

[stolidog]

Yep - Adam Scott has a broken pinky on his right hand. I love Luke Donald at +3300 and Stephen Ames at +6600. I think they finish 1st and 2nd.

What's your source?
I'm just doing some deductive reasoning to come up with him being exempt.

2)http://www.pgatour.com/r/stats/info/?186

 

[AngleBroom]

you could be right though because he didn't win until the week after the cutoff line, but still that moved him up 25 spots in the world golf ranking?

 

[stolidog]

Perry admitted that he does not care for Torrey Pines and had no desire to show up and play poorly. It was his own personal decision.

 

[AngleBroom]

yup you were right max.
http://dps.twiihosting.net/wgr/doc/content/archive/2008/owgr21f2008.pdf
guess he's been in hibernation till now.
jumps from 73rd to 27th in the world in one week. Something's wrong with these rankings.

 

[max1234]

Angle,

No prob. I'll be at Torrey on Friday. I've got a friend playing and unfortunately he's in the group behind Tiger. It will be a zoo trying to watch him.

 

[OAKAS]

Woods is toast; 30-1 looks like a nice price on Furyk.[/quote

Have to agree with you DH. That is pretty good odds on Furyk.
