Ricky Barnes has played well all year

He has made a lot of cuts and played well in the open last year at bethpage

I like the way he has played the last 2 weeks

He is a california boy and has played Pebble in numerous other events besides the pro-am each year

Local knowledge does not hurt

He is listed at 100/1 and is not impossible

I can't see him winning - he can certainly hit the board.

Front running type... Will fold late and miss the super.

He wears a tard hat. No chance.

Harrington wins it

Ty Tryon is in this? Wow, how does that happen? They hold qualifying at that En-Joie Golf Course in Rochester?

That course is a piece of sh1t and is in Binghamton. I hate that course.

I figured like most that Dustin Johnson would play well at Pebble again, especially with his absurd length, but a top 10 would be his ceiling given how penal missed shots are relative to the AT&T Pro-Am setup. Instead he's dialing it back at the right times and attacking when he can.

He drove the 4th green (284 yards) with a focking 3 iron today. That is sick

SCUDSBROTHER · #10 06-20-2010, 12:36 AM

I don't think he'll give it up tomorrow. I guess it wouldn't be anything unusual for him to shoot 74 due to pressure, and get beat by Tiger. It'd be a lot more interesting. I don't think he'll fold, but we'll see. Guy likes what he likes:

Pebble Beach: 2009 won....2010 won ...Probably will easily win the 2010 U.S. OPEN at Pebble

Byron Nelson Event: 2009 T4........2010 T7

Norther Trust Open: 2009 T10....2010 T3

Johnson really looked sharp yesterday. But if Tiger doesn't have a bounce round like Phil did yesterday, he'll be right in it at the end.

I thought it was because the greens were cut so short and Tiger crapping on them.

there are two different types of grass on the greens. One kind is Poa (dont know if it is spelled that way).

They grow at different speeds, and by late in the afternoon make for a bumpy green.

My Dad played Spyglass (the course next to Pebble & they have the same type of greens). Said Spyglass easily has the worst greens he's ever played on for a "big time" course.

That course is so heavily played I don't see how they could have championship caliber greens. Add in winds off the ocean and it all dries out quickly.
