The final Major of the year is upon us - The 92nd PGA Championship from Whistling Straits. Its the day before the first round, and my pre-first day of a Major routine is to make my picks. I have only had 1 great tournament and that was the US Open where I picked 4 of the top 10 (one being the winner Graeme McDowell). Had to take a mid-blog break to go over to Kum-n-go for a fountain soda, feeling super good now. Besides Philly-goat winning the Masters, this year has been a year of 1st Majors so I am going to make my picks based on that. Dont get my wrong here, I love watching Phil, Tiger, Zach Johnson, Big Ern and the normal favorites on Sunday afternoon, but I decided to switch it up this week. I still hope Zach Johnson wins or finishes in the top 5 (you always have to cheer for the fellow IOWAN). 
Here are my 5 picks for the 2010 PGA Championship.
Dustin Johnson: I had him at the US Open and he pissed it down his leg. Bounced back with a top 20 at The Open though and he has the talent to be there on Sunday. I just hope his caddy helps him with his club selection if he is in the final groups.
Paul Casey: The only European in my picks. After some great play at St. Andrews, Paul is looking to bounce back after letting The Open slip away. He still isnt a lock for the Eurpoean Ryder Cup team, so he needs a strong showing here to bounce into an automatic qualifier spot.
Anthony Kim: He is back!! Word is that the hand is feeling good, so I had to put him back in my picks. Im not expecting a victory out of AK, just want to see him gear up for the Ryder Cup in October.
Matt Kuchar: This guy has been one of the hottest players on Tour this year without a W. He is very technical player and finished in the top 10 in 20 events this season. Only thing I am worried about is that he has never made the cut at a PGA Championship.
John Daly: Have to go with the 1 dark horse. Daly showed us some great golf at The Open this year, and I think Whistling Straits sets up kind of like a links course. Plus as you can tell from the photo below Im a follower of JD on twitter.
Update from week 16 for Men's League at the Carroll Country Club - Kasperbauer Cleaners is now out of last place!!! With a commanding victory over Elin's 9 irons last night we have jumped into a tie for 2nd to last. We won 58-14. The team played very well. We had a sub win 8 holes for us, TDub won 6 & lost 1, Knute shot 35 (2 under) but tied his match 3-3, and I won 8 & lost 0. We are playing some of our best golf as a team lately, on a 5 week winning streak now. Only 3 more weeks to improve our rank, and if we continue to play this way we should be able to catch the 3 teams in front of us.
Don't play too much golf. Two rounds a day are plenty.
