David Love III Wins 2015 Wyndham Championship

The four rounds of this year's Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club have come and gone and the winner this year was surprising to say the least. 51-year old and 2012 US Ryder Cup Captain, David Love III won with a score of 17-under par and a single shot lead over Jason Gore. He shot a final round of 64 (his lowest of the year) which included four birdies and two eagles. This is the North Carolina native's 37th PGA Tour win and first win since 2008. It's also his third Wyndham Championship win.

Win this win, Love becomes the third oldest golfer to win on the PGA Tour, just behind the likes of Sam Snead in 1965 (who won his last event here at Sedgefield) and Art Wall in 1975.
"Any victory now is going to be really sweet when you're over 50," Love said afterwards. "To have your name thrown out there with Sam Snead at any point is incredible". It's always great to see an older golfer win professionally. It shows how great the longevity of golf can be and that the older guys can still keep up with the younger generation.

Equally important, Love now moves from 186th on the FedEx Cup Rankings up to 76th, putting him safely above the cut off of 125th for the PGA Tour Playoffs. After all, many players in the field the week had the intention of making it into the playoffs and a few were successful. 2nd place finisher Jason Gore moved from 166th to 98th, T3 Charl Schwartzel moved from 125th to 96th, T10 Jonas Blixt from 135th to 121st, T26 Camilo Villegas from 129th to 123rd, and Rio Ishikawa from 130th to 124th.

Sedgefield continued to play relatively benign over the weekend and many low scores were shot (which always makes the tournament more interesting). One player of note who didn't finish as well as we would of liked though is Tiger Woods. After promising weekday rounds, Woods shot a 68/70 on the weekend to finish at T10. Unfortunately, this was not enough to get him into the playoffs, as he only moves from 187th to 178th. His next tournament will be the Frys.com Open in October, the first event of the new PGA Tour season.

Finally, here's how our picks finished off:

1) Martin Kaymer: T14 at 12-under
2) Camilo Villegas: T26 at 10-under
3) Brooks Koepka: T6 at 14-under

Not too bad actually. Kaymer's finish though wasn't good enough to get into the playoffs (149th to 139th) but Camilo's was. Koepka was in contention with his final round of 65 (he was safely above the playoff cut-off already).


And there you have it, the last regular event of this season's PGA Tour is over. Next week the PGA Tour Playoffs kick off with The Barclays from Plainfield Golf Club in New Jersey. Stay tuned for our picks shortly.

Woods and Hoge Lead Halfway Thru 2015 Wyndham Championship

We're two rounds through this year's Wyndham Championship and the leaderboard is very interesting to say the least. Tied for the lead is Tiger Woods and Tom Hoge at 11-under. They lead by one against Davis Love III and Chad Campbell. The cut has also been set at 3-under.

Tiger Woods and Tom Hoge are probably two of the most different players on Tour. It's a great contrast really. On one hand you have a multi-major winning golfer, who is believed to be the best golfer in recent times. On the other, you have a relatively new and unheard of golfer looking to make a name for himself. And yet, here they both sit tied for the lead going into the weekend, probably with the same goal in mind; win or at least finish well enough to make it into the PGA Tour Playoffs. Hoge started off strong on Thursday with a 62 and a 67 today. Woods shot a 64 yesterday and a 65 today, but his front nine today was up and down, with two bogeys and three birdies. He made up with a 31 on his back nine though.

Sedgefield play very vulnerable over the first two days. Very low rounds were shot by many on both days, with the low round of the tournament so far being a 61 shot by Brandt Snedeker, which included a three hole birdie streak on 14-16 and no dropped shots. In fact, Hoge's 62 on Thursday was the best debut round in the tournament's history.

Finally, here's how our picks are doing:

1) Martin Kaymer: T11 at 8-under
2) Camilo Villegas: T32 at 5-under
3) Brooks Koepka: T22 at 6-under

Pretty good so far and great going into the weekend. It's worth noting that there's a log jam of players tied at 9-under, about six of them. But given how benign the course has been, being within a few shots of the lead will definitely put you in contention.

Stay tuned for our results post come Sunday,

Tiger Woods Co-Leads Going Into the Weekend at the Wyndham Championship

2015 Wyndham Championship Picks

We're entering the final week of the regular PGA Tour season with the Wyndham Championship, played at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina. This event is mainly known for being the last regular PGA Tour event of the season, before the FedEx Cup Playoffs, and thus offers golfers one last chance to score enough points to complete in the playoffs. Despite it's fame, it offers one of the smaller purses on tour ($5.4 million) with just under $1 million going to the winner.

This tournament was first played in 1938 as the Greater Greensboro Open and held that title for nearly 50 years. It's been played at Sedgefield for a good portion of that time, but only returned to regular play there in 2008. History has also been made here over the years, particulary by Sam Snead, who holds the record of winning a tournament the most times, eight. He also became the oldest winner on the PGA Tour when he won this event in 1965, at age 52.

The big story this week is Tiger Woods, who entered this event last minute. As it stands now, Woods sits at 168th on the FedEx Cup Rankings. He needs to achieve a minimum ranking of 150th to become eligible to play in the first of the PGA Tour Playoff events (The Barclays) next week. He's hoping for a good result this week to make this possible.

The field this week might not be as elite or full of top-ranked golfers as we're used too, but it's full of talented and competitive players who are probably all looking to secure their playoffs spot. Given that, here's our picks for the Wyndham Championship:

1) Martin Kaymer
2) Camilo Villegas
3) Brooks Koepka

Kaymer is currently ranked 124th on the rankings and will no doubt bring his A-game this week. He's also one of the top-ranked golfers on the World Golf Rankings in the field this week at 21st. Camilo Villegas won this event last year and might do so again, seeing at he's ranked 102nd. Brooks Koepka sits safely at 6th in the rankings, but has been playing excellent golf these past few weeks (T6 at the Bridgestone Invitational and T5 at the PGA Championship).

Play kicks off early tomorrow morning but be sure to check out our Weekend Update post this Friday evening,

Our top pick this week is 2014 US Open Champion Martin Kaymer

Jason Day Wins the 2015 PGA Championship

It's been a long time coming with many ups and downs, but our pick Jason Day has finally won his first major; the 2015 PGA Championship at Whistling Straits. The Australian finished off the tournament with some style at 20-under, a new lowest 72-hole record, three shots ahead of Jordan Spieth. This is Day's 3rd win this year and 10th win as a professional. The win also moves him to third in the World Golf Rankings.

Despite the varying conditions over the four rounds, Day remained consistent; something which he does so well. He was the only player with four rounds in the 60's. He shot a 67 for his final round with seven birdies and two bogeys and held the lead by two shots or more at any point yesterday. He seemed unaffected by pressure at all, hitting 15 greens during his final round, despite being chased by Spieth. Day said it himself earlier this week, it was only a matter of time before he won a big one and he's come a long way and through a dark past to get here. But, he learned from his mistakes and stared to started to take the game more seriously. For the past several years, Day's always been around the top of the leaderboard in majors, so much to the point that it wasn't surprising. And with a 50% chance of making it into the Top 10 this week, it would seem foolish not to have him as your pick to win. There isn't anyone who deserves this win more than he does and to do it at Whistling Straits is even more special.

Jordan Spieth, despite finishing second and putting up a good challenge for Day, will have his fair share of celebrations. With his solo 2nd finish, the 22-year old has surpasses Rory McIlroy as the World's Number One golfer in the World Golf Rankings. He is well-deserving of this title of course, despite his age, Spieth finished 1st-1st-2nd-2nd in the majors this year; finishes other players could only dream of. When Rory was asked about the loss of his title, he responded well saying that Spieth has been the better player between them this year and is deserving of the title. Rory finished solo 17th this week.

The 2015 PGA Championship will be one to remember, partially due to Jason Day and partially due to the course it was played on. The Straits Course at Whistling Straits has reaffirmed itself this week as being one of the favourites amongst all golfers. Course conditions were ideal this week despite a few hiccups with the weather. It played tough when it had to and played easy when it had to. It's vastness and shear beauty is something we can all appreciate. I'm already looking forward to when the PGA Championship returns here.

Finally, here's how our other picks finished off:

1) Dustin Johnson: T7 at 12-under
2) Jim Furyk: 4-under at T30
3) Jason Day: WINNER

That's another pick win for us and it's the second time in a row that one of our picks has won the PGA Championship (we picked Rory to win last year too). Dustin Johnson could have made a real run at the lead, but had a crazy round of 69. He started with a quad bogey on his opening hole after getting stuck in a bunker for four shots, but then went on to card six birdies and two eagles over the rest of his round. Who knows what would have happened if he hadn't carded the quad. Furyk had an average finish at T30.

And that's the last of the majors this year. In just two weeks, we'll be getting into the PGA Tour Playoffs so stay tuned for that. This week however, we'll be covering the Wyndham Championship. Be sure to check out our picks for it.

After many years of trying, Jason Day has won his first major, the 2015 PGA Championship

Day Leads, Spieth Follows Going Into Final Round of the 2015 PGA Championship

There's just one round left in this year's PGA Championship at Whistling Straits. As it stands now, Jason Day is our leader at 15-under, with a two shot lead over current Masters and US Open champion Jordan Spieth. Just a shot behind Spieth lays Justin Rose and Brandon Grace.

Saturday definitely lived up to it's name "Moving Day". The conditions at Whistling Straits were ideal for scoring low and many players took advantage of this. Day shot a 66, but not in easy fashion. He carded eight birdies, an eagle, two bogeys, and a double bogey. Spieth shot a more traditional 65, carding seven birdies. Interestingly enough, Spieth has only made a two bogeys over his three rounds, the least in the field. The two will be paired in the final grouping today, one seeking his first major one, the other trying to put his name in history. I'm not sure what would be the bigger story, Jason Day winning his first major or Spieth winning 3 of 4 this year?

The low round of the day was that of US Open contender Branden Grace, with a 64 (8 birdies). This would have tied the course record on the Straits Course if Hiroshi Iwata hadn't broken it a couple of days ago. Also lurking behind the lead is 2010 PGA Champion Martin Kaymer, at four shots back. He also shot a 65 today. Kaymer was the last winner of the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits. Due to the controversy with Dustin Johnson in 2010, Kaymer is often overlooked as the winner at times. Kaymer will be paired with PGA Tour rookie and long hitting Tony Finau.

Finally, here's how our picks are doing:

1) Dustin Johnson: T9 at 9-under
2) Jim Furyk: 4-under at T30
3) Jason Day: 1st at 15-under

Johnson is still lurking despite not shooting as low of scores as some players. It'll take some work for him to win today, but golfers have come back from bigger margins before. Furyk may be out of contention, but will be looking for a good finish today; something he does so well.

There's nothing like a Sunday at a major, especially when it's the last one of the year. If the conditions today are as good as yesterday, the winner may not be so clear cut. It wouldn't surprise me if the winner wasn't in the final two groups.

Stay tuned tomorrow morning to see who's won,

Jason Day Seeks His First Major Win Today

Matt Jones Leads Halfway at 2015 PGA Championship

The benign weather conditions of Whistling Straits couldn't last all day yesterday. By the latter part of the second round, severe thunderstorms had rolled in, causing the round to be suspended. It picked up again early this morning and as of now Matt Jones sits atop the leaderboard at 11-under (he just finished his round a few minutes ago). The Austrailian leads by two ahead of fellow Aussie Jason Day and by three ahead of Justin Rose. The cut has also been set at 2-over.

Jones played well throughout his entire round, shooting a 65. He dropped no shots and made seven birdies to get to this number. Day carded a 67 which consisted of seven birdies also, but two bogeys. It's also worth noting the Jones is T7 and Day is 1st in GIR's so far, showing once again how accuracy is so valuable on a course like Whistling Straits. Jones is also 2nd in driving distance and Day is T13.

The biggest story of the day came earlier on in the round. It was that of Hiroshi Iwata, a 34-year old Japanese golfer, who was unknown to many until now (he did almost win the 2014 HSBC Champions in Shanghai though). Iwata was relatively quiet after an opening round of 77, but stunned many and made history during his second round by shooting a 9-under 63. This is a new course record at the Straits Course and ties the lowest round ever in a major championship. A 63 has only ever been shot 27 times (including Iwata) throughout major history, 13 times at the PGA Championship. He started out well with a 34 on the front nine, but blasted off on the back nine, shooting a 29 made up of five birdies and an eagle. This is only the Japanese golfer's fourth major and many eyes will be on him during his round today; he sits at T15.

Some notables who missed the cut include Tiger Woods (+4), 2015 Open Champion Zach Johnson (+3), Graeme McDowell (+5), and John Daly (+11). John Daly also made news today on the par 3 7th hole. After hitting several of his wedge shots into Lake Michigan, Daly turned to the lake and tossed his club into it. A lucky fan with a boat was able to retrieve it. Daly carded a 10.

Finally, here's how our picks are doing:

1) Dustin Johnson: T10 at 5-under
2) Jim Furyk: 1-under at T37
3) Jason Day: 2nd at 9-under

We've talked about Day already. Dustin, despite a bogey filled round of 73, is still well in contention. Jim Furyk will have to put in a bit of work on the weekend to get into contention. Anything's possible really, especially at Whistling Straits.


The weekend at a major is really something special and always exciting. Be sure to check it our and stay tuned for our round 3 recap.

Japan's Hiroshi Iwata Sets a New Course Record at Whistling Straits

Dustin Johnson Shoots 66, Leads By 1 at the PGA Championship

After just one round of play at Whistling Straits, the leader of the 2015 PGA Championship thus far is a familiar face; that of our pick Dustin Johnson. He sits at 6-under par and holds a single shot lead over David Lingmerth. This is the third major in a row that Dustin has held the lead after 18 holes.

Dustin's round yesterday consisted of five birdies, an eagle, and a bogey which led to his 66 (note that the course record on the Straits course is 64). He also showed us that he's both long and accurate off the tee, hitting 10 of 14 fairways (fairways which are some of the tightest on tour) and missing only one GIR. On some holes, his distance was an advantage, as he was able to hit the ball over danger zones that other golfers might find themselves it. Typically, golfers either hit the ball a long way or are very accurate, but having both traits is a deadly combination.

Like we saw in the British Open, the afternoon tee times of the first round played in tougher conditions. The scoring average here was a 74.91, compared to a 73.41 in the morning. This was mainly due to high winds that came in off Lake Michigan. Some good rounds were shot in the afternoon, i.e. David Lingmerth's 67. The toughest hole of the day was the 501-yard par 4 18th. It played with a scoring average of 4.654. “You have to hit the fairway,” Danny Lee said after his round; it's as simple as that.

Some other rounds of note were Rory McIlroy's 71. Rory seeks to defend his title this week; he was unable to do so at the British Open due to a soccer injury. He sits at T26 due to an up and down round filled with four birdies and three bogeys. He even found himself in tough water, literally. On the 5th, he landed his ball in shallow water and his ball was partially submerged. The World Number One decided then to just play the shot from the water, rolling one pant leg up (no Stensen undressing required here) and hitting. He landed the ball well on the green and sank the par putt for an incredible up and down. We also saw no lingering signs of McIlroy's injury too, which is great news.

Finally, here's how are picks are doing:

1) Dustin Johnson: 1st at 6-under
2) Jim Furyk: 1-over at T55
3) Jason Day: T3 at 4-under

We talked about Dustin earlier. Furyk shot a 73 yesterday and despite being one of the most accurate players on Tour, his round mostly involved taking and giving shots back all day. He carded four birdies but five bogeys. Jason Day, to no one's surprise, shot a 68 and carded an eagle on the 2nd, three birdies and a bogey. Similar to Dustin, he also hit all GIR's and leads the field in driving distance (Dustin is 2nd); factors which probably led to his success. It just goes to show you how key distance and accuracy will be this week.

There's still a lot of golf to be played. Today's early tee times are currently underway and TV coverage should be on this afternoon. Stay tuned for our next post!

Dustin Johnson once again leads another major this year

2015 PGA Championship Preview

Well it's finally here, the fourth and final major of the season. We are of course talking about the PGA Championship. This year marks the 97th playing of the PGA Championship and it is being hosted this year at the Straits course at Whistling Straits in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. It last hosted the PGA Championship back in 2010.

The PGA Championship is probably the most unique and different of the four majors. It's not a country open, like the British and US Open. It doesn't share the same prestige as the Masters either. So what exactly makes it special and deserving of the title "major"? The answer is who's playing and what's at stake. It typically boasts the second best field in a professional golf tournament, just under The Players. We'll be seeing the best of the best players this week play some of the best golf in the world.

The rewards of winning the PGA Championship are perhaps what draws such an elite field. To start, the winner takes home $1.8 million; one of the biggest prizes offered on any pro Tour. They also receive an invitation to the next five Masters, US Opens, British Opens, and Players Championships as well as a life time invitation to the PGA Championship. On top of that, the winner receives a five year membership to the PGA and European Tour. It's clear now why a win this week could provide endless possibilities for a player's career.

The Straits Course at Whistling Straits was designed by Pete and Alice Dye in 1998 and is links-esque in style and beauty. It sits on the coast of Lake Michigan and features many of the typical links concepts such as rolling greens, deep bunkers, and changing weather. In fact, in has over 1000 bunkers (some of which may not even look like bunkers, see below) and even has a flock of sheep running around. It's about as links as you can get on this side of the Atlantic and it's sheer beauty and vastness makes it one of the nicest looking courses in the world, in my opinion. This will be the 3rd time the Straits course has hosted the PGA Championship (2004 and 2010) and it's also hosted the US Senior Open in 2007. In 2020 it will host the Ryder Cup. There's no doubt it will be challenging players this week, as it measures at just over 7,500 yards.

Now our picks this week were based on a three things: determination, momentum, and probability:

1) Dustin Johnson
2) Jim Furyk
3) Jason Day

For a good portion of his career, Dustin Johnson has been in the news and under fire at some point. After his leave of absence, many questioned whether he would win again. But he was determined to do so and he did. What happened at Whistling Straits in 2010 with Johnson is probably remembered more than that actual winner himself (Martin Kaymer of course). In case you've forgotten, on the 18th hole in 2010, Dustin Johnson grounded his club in a supposed bunker, which he did not know was one, resulting in a two shot penalty. If it weren't for this penalty, he would have been in a playoff and may have won. It seems that this, plus his recent shortcomings at the US and British Open, may make Johnson more determined than ever to win a major this week. Plus that bunker isn't in play this year...

For Furyk, he's coming off a good past few weeks. He finished solo 4th at the Canadian Open and finished T3 at the Bridgestone Invitational last week (which he led at one point). He also has three other T5 or better finishes this year and a win. He'll be looking to ride this momentum for a win this week.

And finally, Jason Day and majors go hand in hand. He always seems to play well in majors, no matter what; it's a defining aspect of his career actually. Here's a stat you'll enjoy: in the last two years, Day's finished T10 or better in about 55% of the majors (6 of 11, two of which were the 2015 US and British Opens). That means that going into this week, Day has better chances of finishing in the top 10 than not. And that, frankly, is an amazing stat.

Play kicks off tomorrow morning and remember that since this is a major, we'll be having daily coverage posts of each of the four rounds. Be sure to stay tuned and let us know who your picks are this week by commenting below.

The Straits Course at Whistling Straits

Shane Lowry Wins the 2015 WGC Bridgestone Invitational

After four rounds of play on Firestone Country Club's South Course, this year's edition of the WGC Bridgestone Invitational has concluded, with the winner being Shane Lowry. The Irishman finished with a final score of 11-under and a win by two shots over Bubba Watson. This is Lowry's first WGC win and first win in three years. He also takes home many World Golf Rankings points which will boost his ranking from 48th (as he stood when he entered the tournament) and has earned a PGA Tour card for three years.

Lowry shot a 66 for his final round today, which consisted of four birdies, including one on the final hole. However, he did run into trouble a few times today but recovered, or rather, "escaped" well. One incident involved a severely hooked tee shot, followed by a pitch over a tree, then a birdie putt. Another involved a bunker and a shot through a tree which led to his birdie on the 18th. He played solid golf all week and went low at times when many players could not. That was key to his success this week.

On a whole, the weekend rounds scored significantly better than the weekday rounds. Low scores were shot all around the South Course and the low round was a 63 shot by Justin Rose and Steven Bowditch. Saturday AKA Moving Day, really lived up to it's name as we saw a mish-mash on the leaderboard as the day progressed. Sunday's rounds were more toned down, but still full of exciting golf.

Our picks didn't finish off too well. Dustin Johnson shot a 75/76 on the weekend (in contrast with the theme of low scores on the weekend) to finish T53 at 7-over. Victor Dubuisson finished a shot ahead of Johnson. And Adam Scott finished a shot ahead of Dubuisson. TGR favourite Graeme McDowell did finish well however, at T17 (1-under). This is one of GMac's best finishes of the year, which is always a good sign.

Next week is the last major of the year, the PGA Championship, which will return to Whistling Straits for the first time since 2010. The storylines are already flowing, with Dustin Johnson being at the centre of them (remember how he would have won if it wasn't from a certain bunker?). That's all coming next week, so be sure to check out our daily coverage of the tournament next week.

Irishman Shane Lowry Wins the 2015 Bridgestone Invitational

Furyk Leads by Four Halfway Through WGC Bridgestone Invitational

After two rounds of play on Firestone's South Course, PGA Tour veteran Jim Furyk holds a four shot lead at the WGC Bridgestone Invitational, going into the weekend. He sits at 8-under; behind him, a three-way tie for second between Irishman Shane Lowry, Bubba Watson, and our pick Dustin Johnson. There is also no cut this week since this is a WGC event.

The South Course wasn't giving up much in the form of low scores over the first two days and played tough. The scoring average of the field was probably around even par or just slightly less, but some low scores were found by some. Australia's Danny Lee shot a 65 in the opening round and our leader Jim Furyk shot back to back 66's. Jim's round today was back and forth, a real battle, consisting of seven birdies and three bogeys. The course today played a bit tougher than yesterday however, with more players shooting over par rounds than sub par rounds.

Another round of note was that of TGR favourite Graeme McDowell, who sits T5 at 3-under. GMac went 66/71 for his first two rounds but despite his higher score today, he admitted in his post-round interview that he still played great and is happy to be in the position he's in. This is the first time in quite a bit where GMac's been in contention. Best of luck to him this weekend.

Finally, here's how our picks are doing so far:

1) Adam Scott: T26 at 1-over
2) Dustin Johnson: T2 at 4-under
3) Victor Dubuisson: T34 at 2-over

Good considering the conditions. Scott opened with a 72 but came back with a 69 today. Johnson once again is showing us why he's the best golfer in the world who hasn't won in the past few months. He shot a 69/67 so far and always seems to be T5 or higher at some point in every tournament he plays in. Dubuisson started strong with a 68 but faltered slightly today with a 74 (which included three straight bogeys).

There's still lots of golf to be played, so anything can happen. Stay tuned Sunday evening for our Results post...

Can Jim Furyk hold onto his lead for his second win this year?

2015 WGC Bridgestone Invitational Picks

Just one week before the season's last major, the world's top players flock to the South Course at Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio, for the 3rd WGC event of the season, the WGC Bridgestone Invitational. This is one of the more elite tournaments played on tour and offers one of the largest purses, at $9.25 million. And being a WGC event, it also offers many World Golf Rankings points for the winner and good finishes.

Like other invitational events on Tour and other WGC events, the field at the Bridgestone Invitational is restricted, in this case to just 75 players; most of which are some of the world's best players. The top 50 players on the World Golf Rankings automatically get an invite. Playing members of the last Presidents/Ryder Cup also get an invite. Specific winners on the PGA Tour of Australasia, Sunshine Tour, Asian Tour, and Japan Tour are also invited, resulting in a truly multi-national, diverse, and dense field this week, which is a trait of WGC events.

The South Course has hosted the Bridgestone Invitational since it's inception as a tournament (except for a single instance in 2002). It's the oldest course at Firestone, having been opened in 1929 (designed by Bert Way at the time). In 1960, it underwent a major renovation by Robert Trent Jones and today plays as a par 70, measuring at just under 7,200 yards. It's infamously known as "The Monster", a name given to the South Course by Arnold Palmer due to it's difficulty. One of the more notable holes is #16, a 667-yard par 5, which measures as one of the longest on tour.

This is one of my favourite tournaments to make picks for but also one of the harder ones, due to the top class players in the field. Given that, here's my picks this week:

1) Adam Scott
2) Dustin Johnson
3) Victor Dubuisson

Adam Scott won this tournament in 2011; his first win with his new caddie Steve Williams. Dustin Johnson is on fire at the moment but hasn't capitalized much. And Victor is our dark horse pick this week.

Play kicks off tomorrow morning so stay tuned for our Weekend Update post,
