My call:

1.  Anthon
2.  Ulibarri
3.  Doss
4.  McBeth

I like Anthon because its close to home for him and some of these other guys might be a tad burnt out from their month-long trip to Europe that just ended.

[Steven Jacobs]

1. Doss
2. Ulibarri
3. Locastro
4. Feldberg

I think this is finally his year. he gets his 1st Worlds Title.....

Nikko

[smyith]

isnt this Doss's childhood 'backyard'?

Im going

Doss
Uli - hes been playing awesome this year
Anthon - he'll flirt for the lead several times but he chokes when it counts.
Feldberg
maybe McBeth and Nikko

[Stan the Blue Man]

My Top 5

Doss
Feldberg
Anthon
Locastro
McBeth

[Jon Brakel]

I say Doss over Feldberg and Owens in a three-way sudden death playoff.

[Dan Michler]

Alot of Doss picks.  I would agree with the Doss home-course advantage theory if they were playing 3 rounds at Delaveaga.  However, they only have 1 round there and the other 3 courses are newer with some temp holes.  Is it wierd that they are only playing 1 round per day?

Also, there is Mick's theory from 'Rocky' working against Nate.

I thought that was weird as well, but then I read that each round will be 27 holes....so 1.5 rounds per day.  Plus the courses are kinda spread out around the Monterey Bay area.

I didn't watch the clip, but in my head I'm hearing a gravel-y voice saying "Women weaken legs."

[Bruce Brakel]

At 100-1 odds, I'll put a buck on Ziggy Bierekoven.

LOL

[damonshort]

1. Doss
2. Ulibarri
3. Locastro
4. Feldberg

who am I to disagree with the champ, but I'll substitute The Champ for Feldberg, just thinking that if he's got one more left this year might be it - he's got the nerves for those courses.

[Tom McManus]

Anthon.

[Bruce Brakel]

Because this is a no-sucking worlds, Climo is at a severe disadvantage.  If I were betting, I would not bet on a nicotine addict.

I think most tobacco smokers are familiar with nicotine gum and patches.

[KenGmoney1]

I have to say McBeth, Nikko, Anthon, Uli

[tjdub26936]

Home state/country for Open Men's division:

85  -  California
37  -  Other states west of the Rockies
21  -  Sweden (?)
37  -  the rest of the world

Sure, the economy is keeping people away, but those should keep Worlds on our side of the country for a few years.

Just saw on the PDGA board that Climo is on the DL, so I'll substitute Leiviska... if I were picking one I'd probably go w/ Doss.

[Tom McManus]

Does someone have a link to scoring for worlds?  The PDGA website is a joke. Actually worse than a joke. I have not been able to get on the site.

Thanks.
