9 majors is why.I am rooting for:
1. Bob Jones: Furyk
2. Ben Hogan: Kuchar
3. Gary Player*: Mahan
4. Sam Snead: Poulter
*why the hell Gary Player and not e.g. Walter Hagen or Byron Nelson ? Player does not match the rest of the three, IMO.

P.S. It is great that two "best" golfers ended in the first round. They are not so "best" as many think.

Ha! So you're rooting for the same guys I'm rooting for. With the exception of.......Furyk. I think it'd be a lot more fun to watch if Bubba advanced rather than Furyk.
Depends to whom. I prefer to watch boring great ballstriking between tee to green instead whacking the ball everywhere.

I don't accept the premise that Bubba is a bomb n gouger the way that Mickelson is. Bubba is tremendously accurate for his length. Mickelson.......is definitely not.
Isn't Gary Player the most successful non-American golfer since Harry Vardon and Old Tom Morris? This is a World Golf Championship so they can't name every bracket after an American golfer.....
Dariusz,
How do you know that Furyk's swing technique would have been more effective than Bubba's back in the 1950's and 1960's? If you had been spectator, would you have complained about Nicklaus's "hit it anywhere" bomb n gouge method?
Dariusz,
My point is that Bubba is a consistent whacker a la Nicklaus.
