The Colonial, Fort Worth Invitational

[Another Steve]

This is my 30th year working with Caddies. It was Hot yesterday for the Monday Pro-Am. It will be in the 90's all week.

Mullinax missed his Pro-Am start. Think he joined at 12-13. Big E is on Herron's Bag and its a carry bag. There have been some WD's, Mitchell, Uielien and Schartzel.

Back Later with Play, just wanted to get the Party started

We sat in the Dallas / Forth Worth area this week for the final leg of the Texas Swing. The Forth Worth invitational is always a strong event on the PGA Tour, with Colonial Country Club, rightly attracting a strong field. With the PGA Tour legislating to get players to visit new events, the like of Justin Rose, Brooks Kopeka and Rickie Fowler add flavour to the tournament this week, and mix in-well with the likes of Kisner, Zach Johnson, Dufner, Kuchar, Simpson, Scott and Walker. Throw-in the young talents of Cantlay, DeChambeau, Grillo, Smith, Hadley and last week's winner Aaron Wise and this tournament is pretty stacked. I'm looking for players with a classical course record and who like Bentgrass greens. A previous top 10/12 finish at Colonial seems a must for the winner - although World Number 1 (at the time) Adam Scott won here in 2014 with nothing better than a 64th here. And I have also gone for players who have shown flashes of form since Augusta.

I'm tipping up Jon Rahm (14/1), Jason Dufner (33/1), Zach Johnson (50/1) and Danny Lee (90/1).

Match Ups

Today was a 13 hour Day. They have a new deal that the Pros play nine holes and then get past to new Pro for the back. This meant two and half additional hours. Also 13 more up downs to get to Hole 10. Body is barking but sipping a Black Crown. Talked to Rahm, he and Bryant were doing something with Dude Perfect. Dufner was a real prick. They had to chase him down after the front for pictures and he passes Player to Garragus. He was draging to get to the tee. Dufner loudly says 30 seconds and I'm out. He did a count down and the said lets take the picture, I'm Outta here. I will go against him for that reason but cant get winner. Last week Walker doubled the last hole and he got flipped

B HARMAN (RND 1) -105 (J DUFNER (RND 1) vrs B HARMAN (RND 1))
E GRILLO (RND 1) -130 (E GRILLO (RND 1) vrs C HOFFMAN (RND 1))
A WISE -115 (A WISE vrs J DUFNER)
D LEE +125 (D LEE vrs B HOSSLER)
J SPAUN -105 (M LAIRD vrs J SPAUN)
