Nothing solid to base this on, but, Rory wins by 3.

Really hope Stenson can make some more long putts, his game from tee to green has been awesome the last month. His putting has been ok and pretty stable, but he needs to sink a couple of more long putts to win it all.

After his solo 2nd at the B.O he said that his putting was off. His distance control was much better this week, but I still think he should be able to improve a lot here. Personally I think the longer the course plays, the better for him. He was super solid at the 470+ yards par 4's this week. Tiger is obviously the favourite, but this is an other course. Rory, Stenson, Phil, Keegan, Scott I'd expect to be his main challengers.

[Stephens24]

I kinda like how no one expects tiger to win cause of his recent majors and how the course doesn't fit him.

[KBNYY]

I like Snedeker, but rooting for Tiger. Going Sunday, should be interesting!

[rafer11]

The hot hands. Tiger. Phil is quite hot, but I don't think he can get it done at this course. It's like Firestone and his driving makes tiger look like Fred funk.

Mahan. He's hot and coming off a coulda woulda shoulda.

Keegan. Playing quite well, did well at Firestone a similar course, great driver of the ball. Has already won a PGA.

Snedeler. Maybe dufner. Maybe stenson. Scott doesn't seem to playing great but he's good enough to stick around the top.

[ethanlculver]

I voted for Hunter Mahan. I just have a weird feeling that he might come back sharp, even though he's probably dropped golf for a little while to be with the family.

[pappaf2]

I voted for Keegan as he had a good week last week but I could really see Stenson taking it this weekend. The guy has been playing some really good golf as of late.

[DavePelz4]

Will take the field vs. Mr. Woods.

[Arafel]

I'll take Tiger and Phil against the field.

[bloodred393]

If Tiger keeps the tempo he played with at Firestone, it's curtains.

[highdraw69]

think Tiger is a big underlay here...prefer snedeker, mahan, mickelson and schwartzel over Tiger

[JDW3]

Phil

[Strickler]

Voted other, Angel Cabrera. I don't want any roid guy like Scott, Tiger, or Stenson to win, or any "pretty boy" like Scott or Fowler to win. And I don't want any belly putter guy like Scott or Keegan to win. I guess I really don't want Adam Scott to win.....

[joeshmo]

I can't see a reason to not vote for Tiger.

[Spoon]

to the guy who voted for luke donald , if he wins i will personally cancel my Golfwrx account:)

[CHRIS509]

Straight hitters golf course, Stenson or Zack J, both playing well and have been for 3 or 4 events.

[Neo1]

tiger, scott, rose, mickleson vs the field?

weird feeling it's adam scott again...would like to see tiger get 15 though

[i*windows]

just because I always do. I will stick with Big Lee Westwood...

[deasy55]

The anticipation for next years Masters would be unbearable if Mickelson won this week and Tiger continued his current form into the rest of the year.

[gwlee7]

I predict that the "spoilers" thread will come close to being shut down because the factions will not play nicely with each other.

As far as who wins, I think someone will be picking up major number two this year: Either Mickelson, Rose, or Scott.

Phil winning this week to complete half of the Mickelslam would be sweet.

[mikpga]

GMac -7

Course looks difficult. I think win could be around even par, but maybe GMac wins by 7?

[Playaway]

Shaun Mickeel.

He LOVES this course.

Undefeated on this track.

He's a mortal lock.

Percentage wise, Mickeel's winning percentage at Oak Hill is better than Tiger's record at Firestone.

Forget the $400 million PowerBall lottery and instead load up on Mickeel. You can thank me later.

[redfirebird08]

I'm going with Trevino's pick: Zach Johnson.

[AKftw]

Fowler fowler flat bill

[Bmcgee6]

Being from Nashville I'm a big Snedeker fan so he got my vote.

I'm saying Tiger won't win back to back weeks, and Phil won't win back to back majors. They are both playing great, just don't think it'll happen.
