PGA Picks...
Either Russ knows something we don't or he's going to be giving up his big lead!

Canadian Update
Hats off to Scoop! Sean has moved up from the mid-20's to the top 10 on the strength of two wins in the last three tournaments. He had solo of pick of Jhonny Vegas while nearly everyone else had not so great picks.
It's PGA Championship week and it truly is many folks last shot at glory. Although the pool doesn't end after this tourney as it has the past couple years, you will only have four more picks this year.
Also, in advance of the PGA I thought it was funny that we took this poll after the US Open and the results considering Henrik won The Open immediately following...

The Duel In The Sun?
I heard the golf was pretty awesome yesterday. Didn't get to enjoy it as I was spending quality time at DTW, ORD, CLT and GSP. Nobody picked Stenson. Nobody picked Phil. Sadly for 10 of you who picked Rory and Sergio they didn't shoot 1 shot better as we're rolling over the winner's pot of $150 to the PGA. That last shot at glory will pay $300 for the top pick. We will divvy up the funds after that even if there is a big tie at the top again.
In the Barracuda Championship four people (Blair, Lovelace, Marksamer and Scoopmire) picked Aaron Baddeley (Badds!) and will split the $80 that was in the winner's pot.
Not too much movement for a major week, very tight in the middle of the pack with just $1.5M separating 7th from 22nd. Here are the updated standings...

U.S. Open Update
Did I miss some sort of rules snafu while I was in France? Good lord on Twitter you would have thought they were going to make Dustin play naked with only 3 clubs. I get it the USGA did screw it up. But the everything is the most important moment ever era is really starting to annoy me in sports. Look at the NBA Finals story lines... The Cavs Sucks, LeBron Sucks, Curry Sucks, The Warriors Suck, The Cavs Suck, The Warriors Suck, Curry Sucks, LeBron is the greatest of all time.
Glad DJ finally got the W, shocked it took that long with his talent and lack of brain. In my view there are only three other players in the past 20 years that are as physically talented -- Tiger, Phil and Bubba. There will be more to come. Shocking to hear he is still only 31. Ok, let's do the fun "Best Player w/o a Major poll" up above.
Hats off to Travis and Chris for trotting DJ back out in another major. You both moved into the top 10 and netted $170 for the W in a major and winner's pot. Russ Tigue goes over the $10M mark and holds onto the overall lead with a solid pick of Brendan Grace.
We have 12 tourneys to go to get into the top 10 -- 2 majors, a WGC event and the Olympics should provide plenty of chances to move up.

McGirt Wins!
Cool to see a "regular dude" like William McGirt get his first PGA TOUR win. Five years ago I met him at the famed 15 1/2 umbrella at the Travelers Championship. I told him I lived in Greenville (he lives just north) and he said, let's play golf sometime and handed me the card below. Never cashed it in but may try in a few months. Not a bandwagon rider, I've been rooting for him since meeting him that day. Contrast that to interactions with D-bags like Anthony Kim (Nick you remember) and a few others that I won't bother naming, its easy to root for guys like William.
Nobody picked McGirt this time but seven have so far this year. Updated standings...
