After picking Mayweather over De La Hoya, golf blogger picks Tiger Woods to win U.S. Open

Golf blogger Bill Wolfrum, flush of his rousing success of picking Floyd Mayweather Jr. over Oscar De La Hoya, has immediately jumped back on the prognostication horse.

“After being so wildly successful in taking Pretty Boy over the Golden Boy, a pick which made all those who disagreed with me look foolish and weak, I have decided to make my next pick while the iron is hot,” said Wolfrum, bathing in a favored sparkling wine. “The powers that I have tell me that there is no way Tiger Woods will fail to win the U.S. Open.”

Some skeptics have questioned Wolfrum’s picking style, notably his pick of Sergio Garcia to win the Masters. Wolfrum told those who doubt to bite him.

“If you doubt me, you can bite me,” said Wolfrum, lighting a cigar with Chris Baldwin’s paycheck. “Everyone knows there were severe lunar disturbances during the Masters. How else to explain Johnson winning it?”

Wolfrum said he would be spending the next few days mulling about his blog, awaiting De La Hoya fans whom he expects will be coming by in droves to apologize.

If the rough is at usual U.S. Open standards Woods has no chance. Woods is, by a mile, the best the game has ever seen except for the tee shot. But in an open you usually have to drive it in the fairway and he can't do it.

then you'd have better luck closing your eyes & randomly pick a name from the list.

Tiger Woods has no chance to win the US open this year. Woods swing is just not what it used to be. I think there is a good chance he will miss the cut again. I dont think going with Hank Haney was the right change for Tiger, or maybe hes not practicing enough.
