Hello all, and welcome to another edition of Pick of the Week. This week the PGA TOUR heads to Muirfield Village in Dublin, Ohio for The Memorial tournament. This tournament is one of the more well known events on tour; as it's hosted by the greatest golfer that's ever played- Jack Nicklaus. Stop and think about this- the last 3 weeks we've had the Crowne Plaza Invitational (a tribute to Ben Hogan), the HP Byron Nelson (a tribute to Byron Nelson himself), and we have The Memorial this week (the Golden Bear's event). Some of the greatest golfers to ever play, in back to back to back weeks. That is just plain awesome. Many high profile golfers come here to compete and try to win his event. This tournament, besides the majors, is usually one of the more interesting ones to watch because of the high profile names that come over to play. It also usually requires a lot of experience to win at this course. That's why I'm choosing Steve Stricker this week to grab me another point. When you think of consistent golfers, this guy has to come to mind. In fact, in 9 events this year, he's only finished out of the top 20 two times. He also had a tie for 17th here last year, so he knows this course fairly well. Hopefully he can snatch me a point and get me to 1 within Bernardo, I need to keep riding my momentum from last week. This is because my pick of Jason Day had 2 subpar days in the beginning of the HP Byron Nelson Championship last week, but finshed on the weekend extremely well for a top 5 finish, which allowed him to catch and overpass Bernardo's choice of American Dustin Johnson.
