Of course Rory is my No. 1 golfer by the stats ... of course. Won it before, loves the tournament, had a connection to Arnie. But he's 11800.
Been following the Rory and Molinari tilt and happy that I was busy last night and ended up sitting this week out... We're on to the Player's.
I think KISS is my general strategy this week. Ball strikers win on Pete Dye courses. Period. Strokes Gained: Approach, Driving Accuracy and Birdies or Better dudes.
Pete Dye, so predictable.

Ball strikers for sure, but trouble everywhere.
In short, Pete Dye courses require every shot in the book and you can’t overpower the course like many PGA courses.
Well - who is taking us to the promised land this week?
