Looks like Sergio is the guy I am putting my hopes. All of my other picks were popular other than David Lynn, who shot a cool 79 today.
 
And tiger pull hooks his first tee shot into over waist deep "love grass"
 
And his provisional also goes left into the shit grass
 
Credit to everyone for staying away from Rory. He shot a 79 today. Thought at least 1 person would pick him. Guess Caturday didn't enter.
 
Mickelson calling out the R&A on the course set up after shooting 69... that won't make the tabloids over there.
 
Love that they've got Ian McShane doing voiceover work again.
 
Ian Poulter ‏@IanJamesPoulter 3m
Unfortunately the guys this afternoon will struggle with a few pin positions. 8th hole is a joke, 18th needs a windmill & clown face.
 
Tiger ended up with just a bogey. Love to see him get in at E.

Thanks, Numbers. It was between him and some other Euro who had a phonetically similar name. I think that one was from Scotland, and the other from Northern Ireland. I needed a 100 pointer, and I landed on him. It's good to know that he actually won something before.

I remember the French guy rolling up his pants and losing his mind. I could not have guessed who won the playoff.

Yeah the last 8 groups who have played the back nine have recorded 4 birdies and 39 others. That's 24 people over 9 holes making a total of 4 birdies. Ridiculous.
 
Peter Hanson withdrew. Was +2 thru 5.

Sleepy, did you do a distribution for the entire field? Saw the top golfers in your post, but I think the distribution tab is from the US Open.

ETA: The Par 4 1st is playing tougher than the Par 5 5th.

I'm really surprised only three people took Dustin Johnson.
 
Thanks Sleepy. I like to see how many people picked the guys I picked.

DJ obviously has had success at the Open, but he is so damn inconsistent. Could see him winning, withdrawing or anything in between.
 
Including Tiger at +1, my top four are -3.

Damn Day's double on 18.
