O.T. - Final round of Players Championship

It's been pretty cool so far with all sorts of story lines: Can Kooch finally win a major, will the ballad of Ricky Fowler continue to be sung, and last but not least can Kevin Na finish let alone win with the swing demons he has to contend with. Kevin alone is a reason to load up on the booze; I can hardly watch him without my eyes bulging and lips pursing. I think his odds of suffering a breakdown are better than his odds of winning but he has been amazing none the less. Zach Johnson is still in it, Curtis is still in it as well as a couple of the Europeans. Heck, Mickelson and others can get in on it if the pressure gets to the leaders. I think it's going to be great golf drama but my money is on Fowler; the kid's a freak.

umm, you do realize Bubba Watson just won The Masters, right? if that's off your game, sign me up.

And Fowler won last week, and its not like Ben Crane has been playing horribly.  His ceiling isn't as high as Watson's or Fowler's anyways.  I don't really know what Mahan has been up to though...

Up until this week he was leading in points for the Fedex Cup.  He's already won twice this year.

Sorry but The Players is not a major, no matter what ESPN and NBC want you to believe.

IMO The Players is much more appealing than the PGA Championship.

Well, so many big time guys are in it because it is year in and year out the richest purse on tour. This tourney does not have the cache or history of the PGA and certainly not either open or the Masters. The course is quite 'gimmicky' with the goofy mounds and the (extremely overrated) 17th. Just my thoughts.

If I gambled, I would put my money on Ben Curtis.  He was "left for dead" in terms of his place on the food chain until he won and got his tour exemption back a couple of weeks ago.  

Curtis doesn't get in position to win all that often, but he seems to be really great at closing the deal the few times he gives himself a chance.  Anyway, it's going to be a great day, and, as always, 17 will be the most compelling hole in golf.

Rooting for Kuchar.  Will be interesting to see if Na's slow play throws him off his game.  Na will collapse.

Na is so brutal to watch. He makes golfing with my 8 year old sister seem like a "quick round".
