I Look Pretty Smart Right Now

After the first round of the US Open, here's how my picks stand:

Rory Sabbatini +3
Justin Rose +1
Pablo Martin +1
Angel Cabrera -1

All but Sabbatini are T6 or better (odd to say tied for 6th when there are about 15 players at +1).

My opinion: those +2 and over are too far back to win. This isn't a course you can make up ground on.

Jose Maria Olazabal did really, really great with an Even Par Round today.

Check out the old guys who are +1 or better: Cabrera, Olazabal, Funk, Olin Browne, Vijay.

Who's leading the tournament? Nick Dougherty, from England, and under 30. I swear the media should be doing handstands. A European and Under 30. That's the two things they've been harping on for the last three or four years. "Americans win everything and What young gun will challenge Tiger".
