PGA Championship 2009 Prediction

Posted by Inspiring Golfer


 The Final Major of the year is here already. Tiger has not won a major this year, although he has won his last 2 Tournaments. 
Also can Phil make another memorable run and possibly get that Wanamaker Trophy for Amy? Also there has been no majors in the over par numbers this year, will Hazeltine produce low numbers as well? Thoughts?
The PGA championship starts on Thursday.

In a perfect world Tiger comes in with no pressure. He can't do worse then a MC so anything better is an improvement. However, this is not a perfect world. Tiger needs to not put so much pressure on himself to perform at every major. I do sense a kind of calmness about him the past two weeks. Not getting to high or to low. He has been pretty much a stone face. Now on to my predictions. I have a certain feeling that Mr. Woods will come out and shoot 66-64 range on Thursday to take all the suspense out early. Now that might not happen and it probably won't. Tiger isn't a big first round guy anyways. Stewart Cink is a good bet as well. He is good but can he put four rounds together again? Hunter Mahain is a good bet as well. He, like Tiger, was really good in the first two majors of the year but messed up the British. Lucas Glover will contend sometime on Saturday but will fall apart.  

Cabrera's the one to watch, he's driving it long and straight and there's no backup in the guy. Mahan's just a darn good golfer and well we all know Tiger can never be ignored in any major championship. I just like the way Jiminez plays the game, not even sure I spelled his name right!! He's sure due to win one over here. Rollins is another solid player all comes down to putting which is true for all of'em. I always enjoy watching Phil do his thing but on this course those gambles may do him in again. Goosen's another one who has been playing well but not closing the deal is why I didn't pick him in my lineup. Then of course we have, V.J., Padraig and quite a few with a shot at winning.. And at last, if I can only pick one, it si Sergio Garcia



Here are my Power Rankings:
1. Sergio Garcia
2. Angel Cabrera
3. Phil Mickelson
4. Steve Stricker
5. Retief Goosen
6. Hunter Mahan
7. Kenny Perry
8. Oliver Wilson
9. Tiger Woods 
10. Miguel Angel Jimenez
