Whistling Straits. Yikes!
Apparently Vijay, after playing a practise round there yesterday, bemoaned the fact that he had to hit 3 irons into a few par fours. Boo-freakin'-hoo. This isn't the John Deere Classic Vij.
Lorne Roberts sez that 10 OVER par might win. Egad. Somehow, I doubt it.
The more sober among us will recognize that the pampered touring pros tend to whine without just cause most of the time. Once they get into it, and if the wind doesn't howl off Lake Michigan, the winning score should be under par. I'll say 7 or 8 under.
The winner? Glad you asked. If the course is as tough as everyone seems to be saying it will be, and if the wind /weather is a factor - which apparently it always is at this venue, then the winner should be: Tiger.
Tiger is probably the only one who can mentally endure the torture that this course / condition combination can dish out. Not that it matters who finishes second, but I'm picking Weirsy. After seeing an interview with him last night where he said he feels better about his game now than he has in a very long time. Mike usually doesn't blow smoke about the state of his game, and he's as tough as nails - but he just won't be as tough as Tiger this week.
