Doc left DC today for a lengthy vacation to the far East. Safe travels doc. I will tally up his picks and also post his picks if he responds to my text messages while he is away. There is an 11 hour time difference where he will be.

 

doc is looking good going into the weekend.

Was gonna go total homer and pick Rory, JT, Scottie

 

BUT

 

It's tough to play well two weeks in a row and I'll play those odds.  I'll go with the guys playing well that rested:  Billy Ho, Jordan, Zally

 

Old guy pick is Adam Scott

Shoulda been a homer. Missed Cut, bottom half and a top 20 after 2 days.  Oh well!

Remember he took second place in our PGA Championship picks week and now once again he is looking mighty steady going into the final round of the US Open.

 

Congrats BSC for showing us how it is done.  🥂

Error! 

BSC had Rosie and I mistakenly gave him 5 points for Adam Scott. 

 

So Q he had 26 points and Chef was the winner. 

 

What a dumb blonde I can be.

When I first added up BSC' s totals I had him having Scott and rechecked and he has Rosie. I was just pointing that out. I'll await your final tally tomorrow.

Thanks Q .

And he hardly took any time over it. Figure it out, get in, and wack on the green.

So true. 👊   He absolutely took no time over any shot coming in. His approach from the straw two holes before to the pin was also an all time great coming down the stretch US Open clutch perfect shot under pressure. He was so calm and even laughed about the short putt he was just trying to dry in that curled over. He was a very cool cat under extreme pressure.  Unbelievable .  Add in the fact that his caddie has been on a bag for 40 years and that was his first Major and it made the win even more special.  💥

You know maybe I was on to something all along this week for the US Open. 🙂

commish is keen. 😉

 

Congratulations Billy Foster!

Willy Z once again you were right there in a major.  I wanted your last putt to drop and see what would happen in a playoff.

You are an amazing young talented professional golfer and I feel eventually you will break though and win a bunch.

I'm cheering for ya that is for sure. ⚡
