2014 WGC Bridgestone Invitational Picks - Weekend Update

The weekday rounds have now concluded at the 2014 WGC Bridgestone Invitational at the South Course at Firestone Country Club. The leader going into the weekend is Spanish golfer Sergio Garcia, who shot an impressive 68 61 to stand at 11-under (-11) with a three shot lead over Englishman Justin Rose. And since this is a WGC event, there is no cut this week.

Garcia shot a stunning back nine score of 27 earlier in his round today, which is a new record. He birdied every single hole on the back nine except for No. 11 and made eleven one-putts over his entire round. His spectacular play even impressed playing partner Phil Mickelson, who fist-bumped him after his round.

Weather conditions were not too bad over the two rounds, but there was a lingering threat of precipitation during the end of the last round. Saturday's tee times have also been moved up slightly to take into account possible weather conditions.

As for our picks, here is how they are doing:

1) Graeme McDowell: T36 at 1-over (+1)
2) Miguel Angel Jimenez: T18 at 2-under (-2)
3) Adam Scott: T12 at 3-under (-3)

It always amazing to see Miguel Angel Jimenez near the top of the leaderboard week after week. Truly a remarkable player no doubt.

Tiger Woods is also tied for 25th and 10 shots back

Stay tuned Sunday evening to see who ended up winning the tournament this year,
