I'm going with Knox. I watched Vijay warm up at the tournament on the coast a few weeks ago. His putting was scary bad on the practice putting green the two days I saw him.

Same here. Considering Knox owns the (non-Masters) course record there with a 61, and knows it like the back of his hand, I think he smokes Vijay.

FYI...yesterday the 505-yard Par 4 11th hole surrendered exactly ONE birdie...it was a 3 by Jeff Knox playing with Paul Casey in the very first group.

Knox is just a cool story and evidently a really good guy.

Never focused on Knox

BJ has had his days in the Sun. I never really cared for his swing.

He is now days the most likely to fold.

So I'll go with Knox.

For anyone who doesn't click the links in posts, Knox is an Augusta resident and member of the National who is in his mid-50's now I think. He's always played as an amateur, winning the Georgia Mid-Am three times and finishing 2nd in the Georgia Amateur as well. Several pros ask to play practice rounds with him to pick his brain about course strategy, reading the greens, Masters setups, etc.

He's beaten Rory twice, and beat Sergio so badly a couple of years ago that Sergio wouldn't shake his hand afterwards. I would imagine Sergio was just mad about finishing dead last, but still...c'mon man.
