Not sure why I keep thinking Jordan Spieth is world #1:

Wow. Most of my predictions went way south last week... Tailor-made (Taylormade... hehe) week for Rose and he missed the cut.
I like most of the favourites this week... Mcilroy, Mickelson and I'll even take Rose for a bounce-back week.
Slightly under the radar, I'm going to grab the inconsistent Webb Simpson and Brendan Steele who does well on longer tracks.
I'm debating whether to flip a coin on Holmes this week... could be another option.

Most 'normal tour' Pros aren't a match for professional long ball hitters, he probably didn't want to finish last....

Bubba's balls
You know, that's a good point, Fig. Maybe Bubba knows that's a contest he can't possibly win, so it basically causes him to melt down. Why doesn't he just say no rather than show up and not participate?

Wells Fargo finish
That was a great finish, even without a 'name' player. I thought the broadcast was great. Beautiful place and it really shows off on camera. Great field as usual.

Was frustrated that Rose couldn't pull one out, by missing a 5 ft putt on 15 and three putting on 16, he took himself out of the tourney.
Happy that most of my picks above played well except for Webb, I had
Rose 3
Mickelson, Mcilroy T4
Steele T14
Onto the beautiful Sawgrass this week

I'm expecting Speith to show strong at the Players and bounce back from his Masters.
It was his showing in the 2014 Players event that first brought him to my attention with a couple of bogie free rounds when no one else managed to get round bogieless. Awesome short game needed this week.
Stenson likes this track as well if memory serves and he's up there in the putting stats.

I like Mcilroy, Fowler and Stenson as favourites.
In the next tier of golfers, I think Garcia, Na and Matsuyama are due for a good week.
My super sleeper is David Hearn... Great ball striker but ice cold putter... Still a good venue for him in the past.

And then the course turns Dye-abolical...
The greens are like putting on concrete right now, it's ridiculous.

Yikes birdied 4 of my first 6 holes this morning, never done that before. Back nine turned into a sorry tale of yips on the greens and I finished 4 over.
I never yip when I practise only when some scorecard pressure comes on. It like being tasered as the putter approaches the ball and my arms completely freeze.
I can't get my head around why my mind won't let me shoot the great score I know is in there. Damn game. I play off 5.

I'm playing a very scrambly game so far this year... Shot 79, 78, 76, 77 in my first four rounds without finding many greens.
Excited to see what can happen if I figure out my longer irons.

I don't want to see Woods come back unless he can regain full fitness, which is doubtful after three knee and 2 back surgeries. He's had his time, It's gonna be like watching Muhammed Ali going on long past his best, getting the crap knocked out of him by the young guns. All a bit sad.
If he can get fit he might squeeze out another major somewhere, maybe at Augusta or the British Open but only a US Open or PGA if they go to another quirky linksy place like last year.
I can't see him winning anywhere tight and treelined.

Agree on multiple points here... although he has rightfully earned the right to play until all the exemptions in the world run out, which still give him at least 6 or 7 years on tour, if he's healthy enough

Mostly misses on my picks last week. Fowler, Na and Stenson missed the cut...
Matsuyama was in the final group but faded to T7,
Mcilroy was there for most of the week but never kick it into gear and finished T12
Garcia was Jekyll-and-Hyde for most of the week finishing T54
Super sleeper Hearn did well for a super-sleeper I guess finishing T28
