U. S. Open
Torey Pines, as we've known it, will be a totally different course. While most "in the know" conceed that Tiger owns this track, it will not be another "Big Brown....send it in". The experts are saying that the winner will come from one of the following:
Tiger Woods Phil Mickelson Sergio garcia Jeff Quinney Trevor Immelman Tiger has already won at Torrey Pines this year..but on a totally different course Phil has won here 3 times in his career, and grew up on this course, but now a totally different course Sergio has the length and is playing well...but IMO his putter will fail him Jeff Quinney is having a career year this year and is ready to break out Trevor Immelman (as proclaimed by none other than Gary Player) is as good as anyone on the links now and has also won here in his career...but again, on a totally different course. Tiger has almost a 2 stroke lower scoring average than Phil on the South course Geoff Ogilvy has moved out to California and has some serious practice time on Torrey Pines....a previous Open winner, can not be discounted either....even though his last 4 events there he has missed the cut 3 times. IMHO, others that can be considered to have a good chance: Anthony Kim Lee Westwood Furyk Singh Adam Scott Justin Rose Pat Perez Love III This course is looooooooooooong...over 7600 yards. Which means except for the serious bangers off the tee, the short knockers will be hitting fairway woods, hybrids & long irons into HARD FAST greens, leaving long putts and difficult chips to save par. I'd be real surprised if the winning score is under par. Good, solid, consistent guys like Justin Leonard and David Toms (and others) IMHO just do not have the length to hit shorter, hopefully, green holding irons to give themselves legitimate birdie attempts. The often used term "fairways and greens" is always used when talking about Open Championships.....it never meant more than it does this year. Defending Champion-Angel Cabrera-won 1.260 million last year...and the last 4 Opens have been won by non Americans. The Field: Robert Allenby Stuart Appleby Stephen Ames Woody Austin Aaron Baddeley Rich Beem Jason Bohn Bart Bryant Jonathan Byrd Mark Calcavecchia Chad Campbell K.J. Choi Daniel Chopra Stewart Cink Tim Clark Ben Crane Ben Curtis Luke Donald Ernie Els Steve Flesch Jim Furyk Sergio Garcia Retief Goosen Jason Gore Todd Hamilton Padraig Harrington J.B. Holmes Charles Howell III Trevor Immelman Brandt Jobe Dustin Johnson Zach Johnson Jerry Kelly Anthony Kim Matt Kuchar Justin Leonard Davis Love III Hunter Mahan Rocco Mediate Shaun Micheel Phil Mickelson Sean O’Hair Joe Ogilvie Geoff Ogilvy Rod Pampling Jesper Parnevik Pat Perez Carl Pettersson Ian Poulter Brett Quigley Jeff Quinney John Rollins Justin Rose Rory Sabbatini Adam Scott Vijay Singh Heath Slocum Brandt Snedeker Henrik Stenson Steve Stricker David Toms D.J. Trahan Scott Verplank Camilo Villegas Nick Watney Bubba Watson Boo Weekley Mike Weir Brett Wetterich Dean Wilson Tiger Woods The pairing of Woods, Mickelson, Scott for Thurs and Fri could easily produce the winner, but even if not, will definitely be the best group to watch and I guarantee will get the most air time.

Marissa sure does have long legs.
I sort of already knew that I could do no wrong when it comes to Marissa.
