It's the second one of 3 FedExCup events. It's all people's ultimate chance to make the TOUR Championship. It's the BMW Championship... And it's Twofer Tuesday.
Last yr's champion Keegan Bradley defends at Medinah, the scene of the "Miracle at Medinah" in the 2012 Ryder Cup. Ironically sufficient, there were two PGA Championshps performed at Medinah (1999 and 2006)... And each were won by means of Tiger Woods.
So the only player in the area to win a prime at Medinah #3 is Tiger... And he is no longer certainly on all and sundry's favorites listing. But I've taken a have a look at the listing of 24 pros on the 2012 Ryder Cup, and I think some of them have possibilities.
Of course, I can handiest pick two. Here they may be.
- My Top10er, once again, is Rory McIlroy. I think Rory has something to prove in these Playoffs because, despite how well he's played this year -- perhaps his most consistent year ever -- he's still being treated as something of an also-ran. I look for him to put that chip on his shoulder this week and make yet another run at a title. Since Medinah #3 can play over 7600 yards, his driving prowess should serve him well. In many situations, I'd consider him a sure thing.
- Nevertheless, I've found sure things to be less than dependable this season... so my winner is Webb Simpson. Webb has also played extremely well this season, with three runner-up finishes in his last six events. While the extreme length of Medinah works against Webb, he should have good memories from 2012, winning two out of three points -- and those were fourball matches, so he can play this course well enough.
