So....who's everyone got?
Bonus points if your answer doesn't include the words "Tiger" or "Woods."
Actually, I am not going to go with Tiger, unless he shows a lot more with his putter today. He'll be there, I think, but not at the very top. If he finds his putting strok though, all bets are off.
Everyone's pipe dream would be Greg Norman in contention on Sunday. I don't think he can win, but I hope he stays in the thick of things.
My personal favorite among those near the top of the leaderboard today is Jim Furyk. He's always been one of my favorite players. I'd also love to see Paddy find a way to take this because it will make for an amazing US Open if he does. Poor Phil doesn't look like he's got it in him this week.
Of course, Chad Campbell right now seems intent on running away with this thing.
Also, I have come up with a new slogan for the PGA....
"Golf: Still More Exciting Than Baseball" ;D

Boz, I wouldn't mind seeing Furyk win it again. I like him and his "perfect" swing. Reminds me of my swing ...

Furyk has never won the Masters. Only the US Open.
That being said, I would love to see him in the Green Jacket though.

I give Norman as much a chance as I do Maclin leading the country in Free throw % next year

I'm rooting for Gary Player.
If he can't pull it off, Furyk will do just fine.

I have to say, the quality of the online live feed is much better this year than last year.
Still wish there was the option of viewing more than five holes, but I'll take it.
Heck, I don't even mind Ian Eagle.

Philly, I stand corrected. The strange part is that I don't remember him winning, but I swear I remember him putting a green jacket on someone else.
On an unrelated note, I would love to see guys like Player and Crenshaw make the cut. Can you imagine seeing those codgers (especially Player) teeing it up on 16 on Sunday afternoon?

Man, I feel bad for Kenny Perry. He would have been a great winner yesterday, but at 48, you don't have the opportunity to choke away too many more majors. Poor guy--he was far and away the best golfer for 70 holes...what a way to lose.
