Lowry is a good player, he won the Irish Open whilst still an amateur so has some guts about him. Hope you had $10 of Lavin money on him!

Of course not!  He had to be 100-1.

n.b. Just checked and Lowry  was 125-1 and Landry was 1000-1.

Still a lot of golf (and peril) ahead.

At 1:48 PM Sunday, today, before the final groups tee off,, just in case anyone reads this, I think the final winning score today will be 2 under and I'll go with Dustin Johnson and Day as my picks
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

DJ to finally break through at a major. The post tournament celebrations will be off the chain.
If Dustbin is ever to win a Major (and I don't think he will), it won't be one where he needs to hole a stupidly fast downhill 6 footer to win.

So much for that prediction..... ;)

Who will be the winner? I predict the guy who hits the most fairways, greens and putts the best


Jason Day

You called it?

I had the winning score at +5.....DJ (in spite of the blue blazers and their "rulings") simply overpowered the course and the blzaers defense of par...good for him!

High five Joe. I just wish I'd gone with my hunch and put money on Johnson - of course that would have resulted in him missing the cut.

I had money on DJ and Lowry - would have won more if Shane had won but delighted that DJ did given the USGA's antics.

I had the final score of -4 and my mate Lowry couldn't quite finish the job. Of course, I take no pleasure in getting the score right, because the USGA stole a stroke from DJ.

Ironically, I picked DJ on the air but not on this board.
