Is it expected to be somewhere north of +5?

Dunno about the winning score, but I'll pick Richie Ramsay to miss the cut by at least 10 shots.  Poor poor bastard getting paired with Tiger, he'll find himself in the middle of a circus worse than the one outside Paris Hilton's house this morning.

Geoff Ogilvy said he'd take +9 and would never tee a ball up, if he could.

-4

Two to three players will break par in the end.

If they go into the final round with something north of leader at +4, does anyone think they will ease up on the final day and give them something to shoot for with easier pins, or even dare I say cut the rough a wee bit?  Would they be at all worried if Oglivy is correct and +9 or more wins?

I'll guess +2...

Ogilvy said yesterday that he played with Adam Scott at Oakmont on Monday...

He said Adam played REALLY well and shot +1. Considering Scott is leading so far at the St. Jude, and thus he is one of the hotter players right now, that suggests to me the winning score is going to be pretty darned high...

I wouldnt be surprised if +9 or +10 does it. If there is rain to soften the course up, I'm guessing +5 or +6.

This just in, the rough is *too* tough and they're mowing it back to 4 inches. Maybe -4 will will win after all.

71 is the lowest anyone's shot in a practice round so far.  Even if they've mowed the rough back to 4" now, it should be 5.5" by next Thursday, I'd imagine. +4 will win, but then again, so will +8, I think.

How high a number does the membership want it to be? I have a feeling that they may want to make a statement.

Does the membership have any say?  I thought the USGA took over a month or so prior?

What would Michelle Wie shoot?   :-X

I pick the number 3.  3 over

Winner by four.  Dunno who, not Tiger.

OK, OK, OK.  Adam Scott.

Tiger wins with -1.

They're not forecasting wilting heat, are they?

Sean, what I meant was that the membership has prided itself on the difficulty of the course and so possibly would have no problem in seeing scores as high as possible.

4 to 10 Over par depending on the weather, rough height and green speeds which we don't know yet

Live Jupiter, Fl, was  4 handicap, played top 100 US, top 75 World. Great memories, no longer play, 4 back surgeries. I don't miss a lot of things about golf, life is simpler with out it. I miss my 60 degree wedge shots, don't miss nasty weather, icing, back spasms. Last course I played was Augusta
