* Won Playoff
Starts: This was the first week back in awhile since I was sick. I think the time off cleared my head and exercised all the mulligans and shanks. The first selection was Ireland's Rory McIIroy who shot a -5 good for 21st place. The next golfer was Dustin Johnson, and he did not disappoint with a -12 good for runner up. The best choice was Tiger Woods, an almost afterthought selection this week with a -13 for the green jacket. Naturally, consistent Jon Rahn, shot a -10 for a ninth place finish.
Week 13 Average: -40 strokes (10.0 ) for an 8th place finish, 4 of 4 Make Cut,, 1 TV and 3 of 4 Finish Top 10.
Longshot: The odds last week on Sergio Garcia were at 60-1, he did not make the cut.
Sits: My predictions were Phil Mickelson who shot a -6 for an 18th place and Keegan Bradley, -1 43rd place. Starts finally beat the Sits!!!!!
Week 13 Average: -7 strokes (3.5 ) for an 32nd place finish, 2 of 2 Make Cut, and 0 of 2 Finish Top 10.
Totals for the Season:
Start Average: -430 (7.1) 62 Golfers, (21 st Place), 50 for 56 Make Cut, 3 (0.29)Win and 26 (2.4) Top Ten Finishes in 11 Weeks.
Sit Average: -148 (7.4) 20 Golfers, (21 st Place) and 18 of 20 Make Cut, 2 (0.18)Win and 7 Top (0.6) Ten Finishes in 11 Weeks.
Week 14 Starts or Sits for the RBC Heritage Championship.
Starts: You must select steady performer Dustin Johnson this week, too good of a course for his game. Bryson Dechambeau, faded away at the Masters after an opening round 66. A strong rebound in store? Patrick Cantlay owns this course the past two years with seventh and third place finishes. Count me on board for a Jim Furyk addition to the fearsome foursome Starts selection this week.
Longshot: Luke Donald at 70-1 could be a factor with five second place finishes in his career on this course.
Sits:Francesco Molinari, shoots a 66 at the Masters on Thursday, and chokes the rest of the tournament with a Sunday meltdown for the ages. Besides, his best finish in four starts was a tied for 22nd place at the RBC. Webb Simpson, might have trouble on this course with his short game.
Good Luck,
