Yeah, after watching the first 9, I'm going to revise my -13 down to about -7.  Still may be record numbers under par.

-9 wins, -8 playoff

It really is playing like an Open Championship!

Cut is still a few over par. Score differentiation is tremendous!

EDIT: I am immediately changing my prediction.

-6 wins, -5 playoff

Let's not forget that the USGA knows how to get players off the course in early rounds and how to humiliate them over the weekend.

Judge is correct. I think tomorrow will be the low mark for the scores. If you can get to 8 or 9 under by tomorrow, you can shoot two or three over par rest of the way and still win the tournament.

At the start of today I thought -5 would win the event and I still do. I wonder what you all think might happen to the scores if the wind blew 15-20 mph tomorrow or Sunday?
Would the course in this condition even be playable or would the ball just keep running and being blown off the greens?

I have been wondering about winning score as well. I think it is impossible to determine because we don't know how Mike Davis will set up the course. That said, I think the best scoring will come Thirsday and Friday because they need to get 156 players around the course before dark. I would not be surprised that by Friday afternoon a number of players are under par, but I think if someone is even par for the weekend he will be in the hunt. -5?


I win😊 or at least tie.

Thought I had it for a long time. Wasn't anticipating such big chokes.

... Around 5 under is probably the safest bet.

How did I overlook the first to get it right? Good job!
