1. United States of America ($ Kit) v. The Rest of the World (Eskimobar)
Winner of the Open, by nationality. Eldrick has been removed from all consideration, partially due to his destruction of the odds on this prop being even, partially due to him having a net worth on par with the GNDP of some smaller countries. In the event that Eldrick wins the Open, tournament champion for the sake of this wager will be the runner up.
After day one, Miguel Angel Jimenez takes his sailor's mouth of a Castillian lisp into sole possesion of first place.
Stupid early outlook: PABLO ESKIMOBAR
Chance of success: 3%!!!
2. Pick-A-Foursome
Cash and I each chose four golfers, winner takes it down if one of his chosen players wins (again, Eldrick aside). To the leaderboard:
If you cannot discern the markings to the left, apologies. I was engaged in my non-court appointed community service at the time, and I allowed one of the children attending the wine tasting to tag the relevant players.Currently Steve Stricker leads the pace of our hand-picked pack, +2 off the lead. Goosen and Furyk follow +3 off the Spaniard, while Hunter Mahan gets a jump start on his choke clinic he so expertly conducted at Bethpage Black.
Stupid Early Outlook: NO WINNER
Chance of Success: 83%
3. The Man in the Red Circle: Pre-Cut Closest to the Pin
The final stipulation revolves around the score of JMFD over the first 36 holes. Our algorithmically derived predictions:
Kitay: 151
Eskimobar: 156
Currently, JD sits at -2, putting Cash's position Lenny-Dykstra-deep-in-the-money. A day two blow up seems highly unlikely, as orangutan pugilist Boo Weekley has a position on the rail slightly ahead at -3. Look for JD to draft off of Boo for the next couple laps, saving gas to avoid pitting outside of a yellow caution.
Not-so-Stupidly Early Outlook: Cash Kitay
Chance of Success: 97.3%
Look for further comment as these plays develop over the next 54 holes.
