Tom Watson announces changes for 2014 Ryder Cup

Carried over & updated; Masters tournament Pool.

Oh well, here goes. The window for picking this year's Master's winner is now officially open. For this tourney we will attempt to pick the winner only. For subsequent Major tourneys I will consider spicing it up by adding a "total score" pick as well. Picks will be accepted and changes allowed until midnight on Wednesday April 10th.

For all 4 majors I will allow last years winner of that particular tournament to have the 1st pick. Seems only right. I am counting on you guys to remember who (if anyone) won last years events. If there was no winner in 2012 for a particular major all picks will be 1st come, 1st serve.

Let's get the word out and see if we can drum up some interest in this.
Since no one who has jumped the gun picked my boy Bubba I will take him again in 2013.

Player picks;

Rex.......................Bubba Watson

Harry Crack..........Dustin Johnson

Golden bay...........Phil Mickelson

Jakester................Steve Stricker

The Bishop...........Brandt Snedeker

Whale 2...............Tiger Woods

Helen...................Graeme McDowell

Slappy..................Rory McIlroy

You're doing a fine job there Rex.

How is it that in 3 weeks we get as many threads as we had all 2012 ??

Smart decision by Tom . I hope it pays off for him.

One of the interns must have shot his handicap.

When I saw the headline for this article my first thought was "by changes does that mean he's going to try and win?". I don't see it. Euros are in the heads of the Americans after the last RC meltdown.

Well done ! You get one additional mulligan on the back nine , and a free "toe iron" to use anywhere during your round.

The sideswipe technique delivers much more control versus the toe punt technique.............or so i have heard ;-)

You might want to try picking up the ball to save yourself a stroke.....or two.
