    Was thinking about Finau myself....won't be long before he gets one under his belt. I quite fancy Koepka as well for some reason. Obvs Tiger winning would be unreal and simply ridiculous. Having not played for 2 and a bit weeks I'm itching to get back out there again.....must be something to do with the weather :)

    Need to see the course layout and difficulty. I've realised in recent times certain players don't have the mental strength for a challenge. They've had it too easy cherry picking their tournaments based on ease.

    If the layout is tricky and conditions tough I like Koepka. Seems to have the cojones for a challenge. It will be interesting to see if McIlroy can overcome this mental block with the pressure he is applying to himself. He should look no further than Tiger for inspiration.

    Honestly though? I can see Tiger going in again and taking his game even closer to previous heights.

    Unbelievable golf from Koepka. I think the course is too long for Tiger nowerdays. Looks absolutely savage. I'd be like 40 over round there.

    I have a little bit e/w on Fleetwood, Finau, Rahm and Vegas. Tommy being the best day one.

    It’s a brutal course that like, lots of elevated greens and a 609yd par 5. The rough is bloody rough anarl. I think anyone who can keep it in the fairway most of the time stands a good chance of being up there on the final day like.

    I thought Tiger still had the distance but this course exposes just how far he is having to push himself to keep pace.

    Brutality - one man again. Some boyo Koepka. He will bring me money again but I think he might finally start getting the recognition now. That will see his starting odds contract from now on. There won’t be many 20/1’s anymore. He has been best in the world at majors. This will be 4, level with Rory and Floyd, one behind Seve, Byron Nelson and Phil. Not with the very best in Jack, Hagen or Tiger but in the zone with Snead, Palmer, Trevino etc in sight.
