Prediction for KPMG Women’s PGA Championship
This weekend is the second major on the LPGA. Last year’s winner, Brooke Henderson, will be teeing it up at 0840 hrs. After winning just two weeks ago, Brooke is poised to repeat as champion.

Self-Doubt At the US Open
The US Open is just one day away. The field is set, except that Phil Mickelson still is hoping for a 4 hour rain delay, and the course is being prepared.

Regardless, Erin Hills is going to play tough, especially around the greens.

Trending to The Masters
Adam Scott is the hottest golfer on the planet at this moment. Back-to-back wins has placed his name at the top of most lists as a favorite for The Masters in April. His solid play is the focus of the golfing world and who can dispute is seven-place rise in the world rankings in just two weeks. I can hardly wait to hear how the media changes its tune on how his putting is a solid part of his game and that he should have changed years ago; any comments on my part would not be helpful!
Adam Scott is playing fantastic golf. He appears unflappable as he navigates the tough holes during the last two weeks. His recovery shots and focused determination are what champions are made of and as such, we saw his name on the top of the leaderboard at the Honda Classic and The WGC – Cadillac Championship. Unfortunately, Scott might be peaking a bit early to be considered a favorite at The Masters!
