Welcome ladies and gentlemen to another round of predictions here on Pro Golf Now, as this week, we discuss the St. Jude Classic, which gets underway tomorrow from Memphis. A pretty strong field participating this week, as although the big two aren’t playing, there are still guys like Lee Westwood and Rory McIlroy joining in on the action. It should be a fun tournament, so let’s get right to predictions!
You don’t see many tournaments go the way that this week’s Verizon Heritage did. You had Jerry Kelly ace the same hole for the second time in his career on Thursday. You had first-round leader K.J. Choi finish eleven shots off the lead after the final round. And then you had Brian Davis give himself a two-stroke penalty in a playoff against Jim Furyk, which gave Furyk his second victory of the season.
In my predictions for the Verizon Heritage this week, I pretty much gave K.J. Choi no chance to win this week. Although I came out of the Masters with a new found respect for him, I just wasn’t sure that he would be able to avoid a letdown this week, in a much different setting. Well, K.J. clearly read my picks (at least I hope he did), and is out to take the tournament by storm. He has a two-shot lead heading into the second round tomorrow, after shooting a 7-under 64 in the first round today at Harbour Town. [...]
Verizon Heritage TV Schedule
The Verizon Heritage gets underway this morning in Hilton Head, as some of the top players in the world are there to try and pick up the post-Masters victory, and try to start building momentum heading into Pebble Beach in June. In case you missed it yesterday, you can check out my predictions for the event, and see who I think will have the best week at Harbour Town.
Predictions: Verizon Heritage
Although you may still have the Masters hangover, there’s more golf to be played this week, with the Verizon Heritage taking place in Hilton Head, South Carolina. While it is hard to ever really sink your teeth into this one, it does provide us with some good golf, which is what we’re looking for. So let’s get right to the predictions for this week’s tournament.
When we found out a few days ago that Tiger Woods would make his return to golf at Augusta National to play in the Masters, all the speculation started turning towards whether Tiger could actually win this thing. For a guy that hasn’t played golf in quite a while, it was pretty interesting to see those comments. But this is Tiger Woods we’re talking about. Could he actually do it?
Everyone knew he had it in him. Most had been predicting that Camilo Villegas would have a breakout year for several years now. But now, it looks like he could be on the verge of his biggest season ever.
The Elite Eight: Golf Style
We’ve made it to the final eight at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, which should make for some pretty exciting golf taking place these next few days. Here’s a few predictions for today’s action.
Coming off of an exciting Presidents Cup that featured a ton of great players, I was thinking about the major championships for next season.
The first day of the Presidents Cup has come and gone, and the United States has a 3 1/2 to 2 1/2 lead over the European team.
It was a great day of golf, with some pretty exciting matches taking place throughout the day. The two big teams for the United States got the job done, which was no surprise considering the pairings for the day. Here’s a small AP story on the day’s action.
Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker got the easy 6 and 4 victory over Geoff Ogilvy and Ryo Ishikawa, while Phil Mickelson and Anthony Kim picked up some [...]
Didn’t get a chance to see much of the action today at Cog Hill, but here’s an AP story recapping the day’s golf in Chicago.
And you can view the full leaderboard here.
Rory Sabbatini is clearly a little angry after being left off the Presidents Cup team, and shot a 5-under 66 in the first round today. But we’ll see if that can be used as momentum throughout the entire week.
