Fun with USGA Groupings

You know the drill...the USGA always has a little bit of fun with the pairings for the Open.  Here's my interpretation of some of them:

10:44 a.m.: Tim Clark, K. J. Choi, Mike Weir - this grouping will boost periscope sales because you'll have to look over the gallery to be able to look down at these guys
10:55 a.m.: Adam Scott, Geoff Ogilvy, Robert Allenby - you might think I'd just say 'Aussies' here.  Well you're wrong.  This is a heartthrob, an Open Champion, and a jackass.  Ha!
11:06 a.m.: Matt Kuchar, Justin Leonard, Scott Verplank,  - most boring threesome ever.

10:44 a.m.: Retief Goosen, Jim Furyk, Angel Cabrera - no snarky comments here - this is just an awesome pairing for different styles of play.
11:17 a.m.: David Frost, Kaname Yokoo, Eric Axley - can we get some FROSTWINE for the lovely Mrs. Axley please?
11:28 a.m.: Nick Watney, Hunter Mahan, Ricky Barnes - ooooh...rematch of the 2002 US Amateur. 

4:47 p.m.: Ryo Ishikawa, Rory McIlroy, Tom Watson - "get off of my lawn!!"

Seemed to me there weren't as many sideslappers as in recent years. 

Very excited for the greatest golf tournament in the world - albeit with the ridiculously late weekend finish times.  Damn you, NBC.
