For those of you who are new, yeah, it’s ALL CAPS.

Year three on Jeju Island with a field of 78.

Two big-timers have won the first two editions and I think that will continue again this week.

Real thing goes for the last time at GCH tomorrow!

Time to get this losing streak stopped and I’m throwing a big-name player out there to stop my bleeding.

Or continue it.

One and Done

That’s how it usually ends.

With a thud.

But you know my rule, MC > T54. No weekend suffering.

Unless you’re in Spotter’s pool, T54 is no good.

Just ask Chadders.

Last Week’s Recap – Safeway Open

Tough when a darkhorse, a MC machine here and WD with back problems last time out hit the podium!

Ben An – MC

Insert dumpster fire GIF here.

THIS WEEK – Shriners Hospitals for Children Open

Read all about it in my preview~!

THE PICK

Scott Piercy

I’m not going to throw out a premium player in a year where the field is bigger and the best it has been.

When 20-under or more is “normal” it’s a total crap shoot and wide-open madness. For god’s sakes 47-year old Rod Pampling won this three years ago!

This is Piercy’s major so I’ll take my chances with THIS 40-year old and save DeChambeau and Cantlay for down the road.

Safety Dance:

Bryson DeChambeau, Patrick Cantlay, Webb Simpson

Spicy:

Collin Morikawa, Matthew Wolff, Charles Howell III

3AM at the Blackjack Table:

Chesson Hadley, Brian Harman, Aaron Wise

History Channeled:

2018-19

My majors contributions and PLAYERS selection were worse than bad so to still break the $10 million mark with those awful results was encouraging.

Another valuable lesson learned is that the Playoffs are for the big boys. Now, WHICH big boys makes this more and more difficult and that’s why it’s enjoyable and maddening all at the same time. Only McIlroy and Woods have won the FedExCup twice so start there.
