Sergio Garcia. Time for a European to win it, don’t think they will be British or Irish though, sadly. ---

It will be televised by ESPN at 3:00pm EDT. ---

71 year old Charles Coody hit a hole-in-one today at the par three tournament. You can’t pick him, though, he’s not playing in the main event.
