Should I pick Padraig Harrington for the Open Championship?

Question

He has some wrist pain and would be home if this wasn't the Open? Should I still take him or what A lister should I replace him with?

Answer 1

Hariington is not a wise choice to pick this weekend especially now that he has pain on his wrist.

Sergio Garcia - he is an odds-on favorite to win. he has been red-hot lately placing in the top 10 in seven of his last eight tournaments. and his confidence boosted even more with his win at the Players Championship earlier this year.

Ernie Els - he will be the major recepient of Tiger Woods absence. and he is consistently doing well in the British Open.

Jim Furyk - he hasn't won this season. But the Americans had won the British Open, four of the last five, seven of the last ten, and ten of the last thirteen. and with the absence of Tiger, he is going to lead the US charge in this tournament.

Good luck

Answer 2

Sergio

Allenby

Weir

Andres Romero

these are the guys to have

Els will be good, so will Mickelson

Other options are Anthony Kim and Lee Westwood

Harrington will not help anyones fantasy game this weekend

There is only one TIGER...

Answer 3

I wouldn't pick him-I have Sergio and Ernie Els as my A players. He may not even play in the tournament and I can't imagine that injury not affecting him.

Answer 4

Why bother?  Without Tiger, watching golf is like having tea with your grandmother...BORING!
