Okay, the Masters again pulled off the stunning feat of making golf edge-of-your-seat exciting. Great stuff. Now, at the fun week at Hilton Head, I predict a bout of nostalgia as some of the veteran players who haven’t particularly played well for a while, ages 39 and above, make a run at the title and remind us they can still play. Look for at least three or four of the following to all be in the top 15: Davis Love, Justin Leonard, Scott Verplank. Lee Janzen. John Daly, David Duval, Jose Maria Olazabal, Fred Funk, Rocco Mediate, Rich Beem, Chris DeMarco, and Billy Mayfair.
Oddly enough for such a tight course, John Daly may well be the one to make a real run at the title. Whether he can hold up through a final round in contention remains to be seen, but watch him there well into the front nine on day four.
You heard it here first.

John Daly with a led would make the week a lot of fun. Puts new meaning to big, bad John.

Duval? Not a chance.

Mr. Hillyer, you definitely get full marks for perserverance--forecasting the results of golf tournaments despite an abysmal record of failure at that endeavor. With respect to Hilton Head, I think it will be remarkable if three or four of those guys make the cut.

You are right that my recent record of predicting golf results (EXCEPT for the Ryder Cup, where I've been pretty good) has been atrocious. I keep doing it because for years I had an uncanny knack for getting it right, going all the way back to the 1977 U.S. Open, which I not only correctly predicted Hubert Green would win, but even predicted that Green's best round would be his second. Alas, you may be right that I've lost the knack.
Speaking of which, this reminds me of the best headline ever. The N.O. Times-Picayune in the mid-1970s ran a feature story on how the New York Knicks, after winning two championships earlier in the decade, had fallen into near-mediocrity. The T-P headline on the story: New Knicks Lack Old Knicks' Knack.

Let's say you are right and Daly scores a come-from-behind victory on Sunday. Your Monday post could be headed: Hillyer Hints at Hilton Heroics.
