Who you pick to win this Major championship?
Rory McIlroy? TW? Adam Scott? Justin Rose? Phil Mickelson? Bubba Watson? Sergio Garcia? Rickie Fowler? Hunter Mahan? Henrik Stenson?
I see something shining in Rickie Fowler ... This young chap has been doing incredibly well in the last few Major championships this season ... It is hard for someone to win 2 majors consecutively (historically at least) since year 2008 ... Hence, unlikely Rory will pick this one up even though he is currently on form.

Saw the earlier preview on PGA Championship on Golf Channel, they say Rory has rectified his swing flaw, looks like he is going to take the title again. IMO Sergio, Adam and Rickie will need to work extra hard to win the title.
RM, or TW for me. Rm is an obvious choice, while if TW wins it, it will pretty much create a huge buzz around his miraculous recovery....not to mention the records....

I'm feeling a Rory/Rickie final grouping again this week--Rickie's been playing great, it's only a matter of time he breaksthrough if he keeps putting himself into the position he's been in the past couple of majors.
Here is a very good video breaking down Rickie's swing changes with Butch Harmon:

Got the chance to catch the practise session on TV.....just crazy on the coverage of Tiger.....like they said, very much like final round. just see the fans turning up and crowding around the 1st tee. So much that nobody mentioned about Rory..hahahaha. But i guess all the players know that for now,,,,only tiger can draw big fansand viewers
Personally I too got glued on the TV just catching TW practising.
fm his swing...I am still convince that he will have at least one more major win.....
I wonder why he still possess such a draw factor when the state of his game is no longer like his heydays... Speculators are still rooting for him in order to see a miracle?
Personally I would still be drawn to TW rather than say Sergio or even Rory... Why? I hope to see his fist pumps again... He still brings the highs and lows of the game for me... very enjoyable watching his game... Perhaps everyone also feel the same as me?
TW would need to shoot at least -5 to stand a chance of winning. This is my guess. If he can't produce at least -3 he might have to pack up and go home. I wonder how his poor caddie's earning is affected following a miserable 2014 year. Will TW give him some extra $$$ to keep him on his bag lest he become like SW who caddied for AS temporarily following his recovery from the 2009 sex adventure.

Tiger missed the CUT! This is his 4th career MC in Major Championship. Rory is on FIRE again and is moving to the opposite direction versus Tiger ...
Can anyone run down Rory? Well, I hope Phil, Jason & Rickie will keep up the pace and give Rory some due pressure ... It'll be an exciting weekend rounds ...

Sad that no one capitalized on it when Rory faltered a little in the 3rd round ... Rory's lethal weapons are his driver and precise iron approach shots ...
