Olympic club will heavily favor those that cut and fade the ball. Because of that, im not sure it will be a great week for players that prefer to draw the ball- like zach johnson and matt kuchar.
Tiger pretty much hits nothing but left to right shots nowadays, but this course is going to require some insane up and downs- so, im going to say the winner will be whoever has the best scrambling percentage this week. I like the two best short game players in the world (Phil and luke donald), but im worried phil is too wild off the tee, and donald is too short off the tee- although length isnt the most important thing at Olympic. I think most players will be laying up on a number of the par 5s.
Id maybe go with dufner, but not sure he has the sunday nerves yet.
I like martin kaymer and lee westwood- although westwoods short game may not be able to handle olympic club either.
Wouldnt bet against mcdowell- he cuts the ball, has a good short game and is known for sinking some insane putts. Doesnt hit it crazy long, but this isnt a bombers course.
