Who didn't expect both Ryder Cup captains to be in the top 10?

Like Jacklin and Nicklaus, they can be Playing Captains.

Well… all my picks finished the first round in the top half. So there’s that. Gonna stick with ‘em.

I changed mine. Except for Rory. He didn't do well today, but I'm sticking with him.

After Round 1, @Putt4Purple and I lead with 0 points; @y2kFrog is a point back. But I think anyone who picked Max Homa in Round 2 is likely to be at the top by end of day.

I'm going to take that Wooden Spoon I won yesterday and beat DJ over the head with it.

Never again for DJ. All that money took away his desire, I guess. Dude could have won two or three more majors.

And my favorite, Jordan Spieth, didn't even make the cut.

The cut line could easily go to +2 or higher which would also get Hoge in. Lot of golf left.

A large amount of money usually drives the desire to accomplish goals away. This is why I don’t care for LIV Golf because you’re not seeing the best talent and mental desire to be THE best! The LIV golfers have there’s, now it’s “who cares if I don’t make the cut at this lousy PGA!” That was my quote not DJ’s.

@froginmn indeed rode his Max Homa pick to the top of the Round 2 leaderboard. He has 4 points, 1 ahead of @Putt4Purple and 4 up on @y2kFrog.

I'll give the next guy who hits a birdie putt outside of 7 feet $100. This is like watching every scramble team I've ever been on.

 

[QuilterFrawg]

Rahm. Geeze!
Poor guy.

Congrats to JogginFrog! He was the man this week‍

Thanks for confirming, Putt! I haven't been able to get the leaderboard to load, so I was totaling up the round-by-round scores and was surprised to see my guys come through in round 4.

Feel free to correct if my math is wrong, but I think the final top 5 are:

-2 JogginFrog
-6 @bc puckett
-7 @Horned Toad
-8 @hometown frog
-8 @ShreveFrog

Thanks to all for playing!

can't wait for Thursday.
Just looked at the field for Colonial. Pretty cool. Gonna have to get their early to see some of the range warm ups.
Never seen Pavin in person before, should be cool.

Pro tip: Look down.

Is their going to be a KFC tourney pool for the Colonial?

I don't see an option for a pick-em game on any of the sites I frequent. If someone else sees something, feel free to post.

Tell you what --Players in the top 60 of the Official World Golf Ranking are listed below. Pick 1 from the top 20, 1 from the 21-40 tier, 1 from the 41-60 tier, and 1 from outside the top 60 in the Colonial field. Make sure all your picks are playing, or it's an automatic +20. Post your foursome in the thread for Thursday-Friday, post again before Saturday 9a if you have a guy miss the cut, and I'll total the aggregate scores against par.

Edit: I've struck the guys in the top 20 who aren't in the field (a bunch of them). You'll need to check the field list for the other columns, but if you don't want anyone in the top 20, you're welcome to pick a wild card.
