I netted $9, I guess putting Justin Thomas on a ticket didn't hurt. It was fun...

The guy who I think is going to be the next young star is Grayson Murray. He is 23 years old but he doesn't have the mental maturiity of a Jordan Spieth or Justin Thomas. But in terms of sheer talent I think he is as good as anyone. He hits it a mile and has a good short game. I think he will win some majors. He had a good week at the PGA until late Sunday afternoon. He was tied for 5th until going 5 over for his final 10 holes.

On a not-so-lighter note, I was ALL OVER Kisner before the week started. Had a friend in Vegas drop $140 to win on him and chose him in the draft that I run (along with Pieters, ... that bum). I went from looking at the cash of all cashes to losing $590 in the blink of an eye (also threw $200 down each on Hideki & Fowler)! Last major of the year and I took a big swing and missed. I blame it on Venmo, for without how easy it is to transfer money, I would've only lost $50!  Gave me one HELL of a ride though, tough to see it crash and burn before we even hit the back 9 on Sunday though. Stomach-turning, actually.

I'm with you on Kevin Kisner. I've been a big fan of his and Justin Thomas for a couple of years. I think both those guys have great futures. Kisner doesn't have quite as much upside because of his age and his lack of power. But I still think he will win a ton more tournaments and possibly a major or two. With regard to Murray, I think his lack of consistency is due more to his mental game. He is a little bit of a head case and doesn't have the same level of maturity as some of the other young players. But I think he will win a lot in the future. The other guy that I think will be a star is Patrick Cantlay.

I don't know if any of you guys ever enter the Golf Channel contest that they have every week. It's totally free but if you win I think you only win a $300 gift certificate or something like that. It's not easy to win because there are typically about 12,000 entrants. I once came in 2nd about 3 years ago. They sent me a $50 gift certificate to Golf Galaxy or one of those stores. It's a fun contest. You have nothing to lose, since it's free.
This week I think I have a chance for a good finish. I am in 325th place right now out of 10,975 people. But all 6 of my guys made the cut (I think this is the first time all my guys have made the cut this year) and several of them are playing really well. I have Grayson Murray, Patrick Cantlay, Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, Gary Woodland, and Camilo Villegas. Edit: I just realized Villegas ended up missing the cut. I have no chance. You need all 6 guys to make the cut to have a legitimate chance. Last edited by Rupert Pupkin : 09-03-2017 at 04:06 PM.
