    While that's unfortunate, I don't think we can back up but instead pause and let him select a replacement from those undrafted to date.

    So I just woke up from a wonderful much needed nap and I have to say I'm much more confident in my pick.

    I had a dream I was Spieths caddy for the first 2 rounds and although he was in the top 10 he wasn't doing as well as he wanted, he was frustrated. He didn't say anything to me after the round was over but I knew he wanted his regular caddy back because he could help put him on top whereas I didnt contribute shit.

    I mentioned it to him so he didn't have to feel uncomfortable telling me to fuck off but as I did, I also gave him a pep talk. I told him he really didn't need either of us and the only person beating him was himself. He knew the course, knew how to put, drive, etc but he let outside influences (i.e. other golfers scores) he couldn't control get in his head. I brought up last year at The British Open and this year at The Masters as reminders that he only beat himself. Then I gave him some ideas to clear his head, make him laugh, relax and play golf so he wouldn't think about those things while he was playing.

    Then a fucking alarm went off and ruined my nap and dream! I feel pretty good about it though, I think I prepped him well for the Open and my advice will help him hoist the Claret Jug. Ya'll are fucked now.

    BTW, this is not made up or embellished in any way (only about 45 mins old too!) besides me leaving out the part of getting the car stuck in the mud while driving him back to the club house.

    This is the best post in these Golf major threads ever. We all should now think that Spieth is the top bet now and hope you just jinxed him
