I’ve played contrarian on these contests enough to know it rarely pays off… so I’ve hedged my 5 picks with “barbells” 😈… (⛩🇯🇵🇹🇭🇦🇺🇰🇷)

 

Let me guess:

 

Nasa Hataoka

Hinako Shibuno

Jeeno Thitikul

Minjee Lee

Jin Young Ko

I beg your pardon, I can't get used to the idea that Yuka Saso is a Japanese.

 

Replace Hinako with Yuka, right?

[Stooch]

Thanks Karen for just jinxing my Charley pick lol

[North Texas]

I had a very specific strategy for my picks. Should be obvious when you see them.

At least you didn’t choose SYK which was Foltz’ pick…

Sorry, but you won't have to worry.

Given the picks above, I think it is a good collection of picks!   There are some that seem to have clear strategies!   Is it safe to suggest that @North Texas has the most differentiated set of picks?  Perhaps followed by @Supermilo ??  

I shudder to think what the reaction might be if Hinako pulls off a great finish here!   

For me, wildcards that I kept in the back of my mind was Ayaka Furue . . . It will be interesting to see how she tackles the course.  Here's hoping for a great start to Major season!

I'm guessing those who chose Lexi Thompson

 = likely will appreciate the positive reinforcement that this GolfDigest writer's opinion provides?

(eg @BadgerLin @Seamus_McDuff @Rapidcat @zonadub @agolf1)

... and has me second-guessing my picks! ("cognitive-dissonance" = a fantasy-pool participant's old friend!)

 

Quote

"Another past champion, Thompson plays like she has a home-field advantage. The 27-year-old has finished in the top 10 in six of her last eight starts in the tournament, including a victory and second, third fourth and fifth-place finishes. She is close to a sure bet at least to be in contention come Sunday afternoon"

Quote

"Historically at The Chevron Championship, Thompson leads in five statistical categories including scoring average (69.73), most rounds in the 60s (14), top-five finishes (5), top-10 finishes (6) and score to par (-72).

 

Ahead of the year’s first major, Thompson is more than in form with two top-10s notched already this season, a solo second at the Gainbridge LPGA at Boca Rio and a T6 at the LPGA Drive On Championship at Crown Colony, and she’s feeling refreshed after taking six weeks off between the Florida and California swings. That bodes well for another impressive performance from Thompson and just maybe the last leap into Poppie’s Pond."

If Hinako wins or is in contention on day 4, I’ll turbo activate the JLPGA thread 😂

Think anyone can get all of their picks to be 1-2-3-4-5 at the end of 72 holes?

 

Too many KO BOGOs out there.  There should have been a rule 2 KOs = get a free SHP 😆

Rule #1 - There are no rules.

Rule #2 - When in doubt, refer to rule #1.

If anyone gets their picks to finish 1-2-3-4-5 I will happily contribute to the award money!

Yikes - Jennifer Kupcho is off to a start!  -4 thru 5 holes and only 5 putts.   It would be amazing symmetry if she’d win the same week as the ANWA.   (If she can keep her putts anywhere under 30….)

[Titleist_PT23]

If you have player that missed the cut = game over...

 

What is the average score through two rounds?  Wondering how many people did better / worse than a blind monkey?

[Titleist_PT23]

Just eye balling it, I think most did pretty good (at least vs median score).  Me, not so much...
