Shaping up to be a 2 horse race.......
It's early but some big names are toast already. While some players could mount epic comebacks, based on the early rounds it appears the pressure or injury has done many in early. Or in the case of Barsby, this is a course layout that does not suit his game. Plus there is the pressure of repeating. Ricky changing sponsor needs another year. Eagle has not recovered completely from the earlier injury. I just don't see the fire that he had at the beginning of the year. Plus, if you're not double digits down you're playing to get on the chase card at best.
If you did not watch Emerson school the field in his last event, take a look at YouTube and watch a really outstanding performance. His putting is the best of his career and this may be his time. I don't think he is going to rattled having Paul in his rear view mirror. Small package of a guy with the heart of a lion.
Paul, well he's Paul and he plays well every time he plays an event. The 2 weeks of prep is paying off. Let's face it, the Discraft signing did not slow him down this year. If anything, he is better than every at the age of 29.
Are there others that could surprise us? Well yes, Anthony, Conrad and Jones all have the ability and skill but todays round will go a long way to sorting them out.
I 'm sure I will many will tell me I'm nuts, time will tell. Moving day is today, can't wait to see what happens.
