U.S. Open coffe cup challenge!

It's that time of year again. Time to win yourself a shot talk coffee cup......Yippee!!

Also in the pot this year is a boomerang putting system from Boomerang® Putting Professional - No.1 Golf Putting Aids for RESULTS! Thank you Alex!

LyleG is giving a free online TLT club fitting! Thank you Lyle!

Rory from Indacupgolf.com is also pitching in a $100 gift certificate.

I'm also gonna hit the new guy from global for something so it should be a fun contest.

The rules:

Pick 4 golfers to win the US Open
You may even pick Tiger if you want.
Scoring is as follows;
10 points for first place
9 points for second
8 points for 3rd and so on.
***5 additional points if you pick a non top 30 player who places in the top ten***

The person with the most points, wins.

A note about scoring and any ties....
Scoring is calculated form the leaderboard on PGATOUR.com - The Official Site of the PGA TOUR.
I count ONLY the first 10 positions In other words, if there are 3 people tied for 3rd on PGATOUR.com - The Official Site of the PGA TOUR. They are counted as 3rd, 4th and 5th place.
I hope that is perfectly clear.

In the event of a tie, coffee cups will be awarded to all winners but the other prizes will be carried to a tie breaker at the next event (
The Travelers Championship) between the winners in question.

Further, you may make only one set of picks but you may edit them until Wednesday night. I close the thread Thursday morning.

Good luck.



***all taxes, duties or other fees are the sole responsibility of the winner***



One other thing..... please use the golfers real name. use of a nickname that I have to figure (lefty,big easy, etc) out will result in disqualification

Im guessing that it is because he hasnt played since the Masters. Its kinda a risk reward kind of pick... But it is tough not to pick woods.

Hmmm... Im going to have to think about this one after my pathetic showing in the Masters challenge.

Picking Tiger will not get you the win. Everyone picks him so the only way to get over the top is with someone else.

btw....my picks;

Mickelson
Casey
Harrington
Immelman
