Wow the final major of the year is finally upon us! Hard to believe the summer went by that fast. Quail Hollow will host Glory's Last Shot as the Fedex Cup playoffs will follow with the Presidents Cup.
Definite headlines of the week are the PGA deciding to move the PGA Championship to May likely for the 2019 championship. This will free up more of the Fall for competitions like the FedEx Cup, Ryder Cup and the Presidents Cup. This will also move The Players to March having a major tournament in each March (The Players), April (The Masters), May (PGA Championship), June (US Open), July (Open Championship).
Now let's get to the picks for the week as we have a huge field of around 80 players that could take home the Wanamaker Trophy. My big 3 picks would have to be Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth and Dustin Johnson. Rory has won at Quail Hollow in the past. Jordan Spieth is on fire looking to accomplish the career grand slam. DJ hits it long and being QH is over 7600 yards long and wet he will need to use his distance to his advantage. Another two guys I'm looking at are Hiedeki Matsuyama and Charley Hoffman. Both players are on fire with recent wins. This is guaranteed to be another classic major and I'll be sitting on my couch all weekend tuning in!
Grip it and rip it,
