Some of you may be wondering why I didn't pick Lucas Glover this week. It seems that he is the hot pick for a lot of folks and I didn't address him at all. The reason is that despite his great track record here, he has played terrible all year. Last week I tried my luck with a player(Sergio Garcia) that had played bad all year but had a good track record and it was a waste of a roster spot, so I wasn't going to go that route again.
So there you have it. Now Lucas Glover is practically guaranteed to win...

Yahoo Fantasy Golf Week 13 Preview
It's never a good thing to play Tiger and have him lose. At least my last minute sub Retief Goosen faired well. I still moved up in the overall rankings so I have to call it a success.
This week we have the Zurich Classic. I'm leaving off the duds and sleepers this week because I'm just too busy. I'm sorry, but I AM doing this for free after all. :)
Group A
Steve Stricker - He played really well last week and last year at this event.
Jim Furyk - Same story, great week last week and a good reliable player.
Zach Johnson - Gut feeling. I feel like Zach is going to start rounding into shape very soon so this just might be the week.
Group B
Retief Goosen - Played outstanding last week and looks to be on a roll
Ryuji Imada - Really solid play all year. Not a great finish at this event last year but you have to think he will continue his good play.
Daniel Chopra - Good track record at this event, although I still had a hard time pulling the trigger given his play of late
Anthony Kim - Great talent and good finish last year. I won't play him because his game has been erratic this year but I feel like he could be a contender
Stewart Cink - I think he is playing great golf this year, but after his meltdown a couple of weeks ago I'm not feeling 100% confident. A reliable name but you have to wonder.
Chad Campbell - A big name that is probably a safe middle of the road pick. You just never know when he might have a break out week.
Group C
Tim Clark - Played really well on this course before and good recent play.
Steve Marino - Having a great year. A pretty reliable pick to have a decent week
Kenny Perry - A comfort pick. He won't win but you won't have to worry about him blowing up either.
Frank Lickliter II - Again, good course history and good recent play
Good Luck!!

How do you spell Retief?
I'm thinking about replacing Stuart Appleby on my B list with Retief Goosen. He played better last week than he has all year. I'm thinking that there may be more upside there.
What do you guys think?

More On Wetterich
RotoWorld.com is reporting the following:
Brett Wetterich played in a Pro-Am in Florida on Monday and said his chances of teeing it upat the WGC-CA this week are "70/30," Golf Channel's Tim Rosaforte reported on Monday night.
Brett Wetterich played in a Pro-Am in Florida on Monday and said his chances of teeing it upat the WGC-CA this week are "70/30," Golf Channel's Tim Rosaforte reported on Monday night.
Wetterich added that he feels guilty about returning to a guaranteed payday and won't play unless he's "really ready to go." He also has an open-ended understanding with Dr. James Andrews that if the shoulder (torn labrum) is causing pain, Andrews would perform the surgery, putting Wetterich outside the ropes for the better part of 2008. It's an intriguing situation since the WGC-CA Championship guarantees fantasy points in many formats.

Wetterich Doubtful
An update on the picks below. According to the following article submitted to me by a reader, Brett is probably going to pull out. If he does, I will substitute Luke Donald.

Week 12: Yahoo Fantasy Golf Preview
Time for the next WGC event. Lots of big names and somewhat limited choices. I'm back to the Studs, Duds, and Sleepers format this week thanks to a couple of requests. I will highlight my choices in blue.
Group A
Studs
Tiger Woods - Clearly it's best to use Tiger when you know he is going to win so as to ensure the 20 point bonus. Anyone want to bet against him this week? I didn't think so...
Sergio Garcia - I know what you are thinking, Vijay played better last week. I hear you, but check this stat out. Sergio has only finished outside the top 12 at this event once in eight starts.
Vijay Singh - But for a four hole stretch on Saturday, Bay Hill would have been his going away. Vijay is back to playing good golf, so he is definitely an option.
Duds
Phil Mickelson - He said himself that he just couldn't get anything going this past week. Couple that with a mediocre track record at this event and it all adds up to saving his starts for a better day.
KJ Choi - KJ hasn't played in the states now for almost a month, and he has a marginal record here. I'm taking a risk labeling him as a dud this week but I just don't see him contending.
Rory Sabatini - Despite his hot start to the season, his play has leveled off, and I don't see anything in his past accomplishments on this course that warrant using him this week.
Sleeper
Arron Baddeley - In his first start last year he pulled in a 6th place finish. A very risky pick in group A but he has a decent shot to make a move.
Group B
Studs
Justin Leonard - Justin is playing great golf this year and he has only finished outside the top 30 at this event once. There aren't any overwhelmingly great choices in group B but I think Justin is a good bet.
Sean O'Hair - Sean's record here is ok, but after the last two weeks, I don't know how you could leave him off of your team. He is playing great golf.
Angel Cabrera - Not playing particularly well this year, but his record at this course is really good. He steps it up for big events so I expect him to be near the top of the leader board this week.
Stuart Appleby - Wow did he have a bad week at Bay Hill. I'm putting him on the list because he is still having a great year and his track record here is pretty good.
Duds
Stephen Ames - Ok enough already. He has played very mediocre golf the last few weeks and I just am not wasting another start on him.
Nick Dougherty - Terrible track record at this event. Sometimes the Euros can come over and have success, but not him this week.
Ryuji Imada - Bad outing last week, combined with never having played this course before. I'll pass.
Sleeper
Robert Allenby - Finished 6th last year after mostly playing badly at this event before that. Has he finally figured this course out?
Group C
Studs
Niclas Fasth - Finished this past week with a 66 on Sunday and has played pretty well here in the past. Plus, unless you listened to me last week, you haven't used any of his starts yet.
Luke Donald - This might be a good week to save a start on Donald. Although he is still a stud. If you have the starts, use him, if not, take a look at my super sleeper this week.
Duds
Tim Clark - Bad year so far this year, and no good on this course. He finished 63rd here last year.
Heath Slocum - Never played this course before and if it wasn't for the one top 10 finish earlier this year at The Sony, you wouldn't even be considering him.
Sleeper
Brett Wetterich - Two starts at this event, two top 6 finishes. I know it's been a tough year for him so far, but he's worth the risk to save a Luke Donald start. He knows how to play this course.
Good luck!

Monday Wrapup
For those of you that got to see the final round yesterday, it was quite a treat. I love to see Tiger pushed and forced to work hard right up to the 72nd hole. I don't think that there was a single person watching that thought he might lose, but it was still nice to finally see someone give him a run for his money. That putt on 18 was something to behold. I still can't quite believe he made it. I mean, you figure he will, but at the same time it's hard to understand how he can continually win that way time after time. You keep thinking there has to be some human frailty in there somewhere, but it just doesn't show itself very often.
Fantasy-wise it wasn't a great week for me until Sunday. I played Tiger early, and should have had Vijay in there. So I got Vijay into the lineup on Saturday in case he ended up winning and, of course, that was the day he shot +3. B Group worked out ok as Ames played mediocre, but Bart Bryant ended up getting second. Fasth tied Tiger for the round of the day on Sunday to get me another cool 20 points. I moved up about 2000 spots in the overall rankings so I won't complain.
This week we have another WGC event to contend with. Look for my preview probably later today.

John Daly, Not Helping His Cause
Time to expand on the last minute departure of Ryuji Imada from yesterday. Apparently what happened, was that John Daly skipped his Pro-Am tee time which made Nick O'Hern and Ryuji Imada (who were both Pro-Am alternates) responsible for playing in his spot. Neither was aware of this until it was too late and were subsequently DQ'd right along with Daly in a chain reaction of events.
Daly seems to be having his problems of late. He was dumped by his golf coach Butch Harmon last week at the Pods and seems to be starting on another of his downward spirals. As a likable guy, you have to feel for him, but these kind of bad choices seem to keep happening.
Clearly he didn't make any new friends with his latest antics, and you have to wonder how much longer John will be able to compete on the Tour with his mindset like this. His game is already out of sorts and his mind clearly isn't on golf. He has always been sort of a cult hero to golf fans but you have to wonder if we are seeing the last of anything resembling competitive golf from John.
Here's hoping he turns things around. Personally, as a Christian, I feel like God is what is needed here more than anything, but it's up to him to want to change.

Ryuji Imada OUT!!
In case you missed the news, Ryuji Imada is OUT this week so please update your rosters or you'll be feeling the pain tomorrow.
Apparently he missed his Pro-Am tee time and was subsequently DQ'd.
I updated my picks below to reflect that Bart Bryant is now in.

Yahoo Fantasy Golf: Week 11 Preview
I'm going to try a different format this week. Let me know which you like better. This week I will just discuss the players I chose and why. (subject to change of course as this is only Tuesday).
A Players
Tiger Woods - 10 starts isn't going to be enough as usual this year. Last year I made up a lot of ground by saving 3 Tiger starts for the Fed Ex cup events. I have no idea if I am going to be able to do that this season.
Vijay Singh - I thought about Phil here but I need to think about starts. I have already used Phil twice so I went with Vijay. It's not like I'm going to use him anyway...
B Players
Stuart Appleby - Not a great track record at this event but he has played really well all year. Normally a player you forget about once the tour leaves Hawaii but this year he is staying relevant.
Stephen Ames - He played really well at this event last year and has been up and down this season. I'm going with him mostly on his track record and hoping that it pans out.
Rod Pampling - I had Matt Jones in this spot but I just wasn't feeling that confident about him. He has made a lot of cuts which makes him a safe pick, but he hasn't scored many points. Pampling has two straight top tens entering this event and looks poised to do something big. For that reason, I feel like this pick has more upside right now.
Bart Bryant - Ryuji Imada just pulled out. The word on the street is that he missed his Pro-Am tee time. So Bart Bryant is in. He has played well at this event before and is playing decent this year. I'm not 100% sold on him but I'm out of better options.
C Players
Luke Donald - The best and most reliable C player. I have no idea what I'm going to do once I run out of starts for him
Niclas Fasth - A player that is in the top 64 in the world as evidenced by his participation in the Match Play event. I thought about Immelman and Curtis but neither of those guys are playing well right now despite playing well here last year.
Good luck!!

Yahoo Fantasy Golf Week 10 Preview
This week the tour shifts to The Pods Championship, and the second event on the Florida swing. Rain is expected for the first two days which could play havoc with our ability to pick players for each round. With the "set in stone" deadlines that Yahoo uses, we may be picking blind. That said, let's get to the preview.
A Players
Studs
Mark Calcavecchia - Mark is a streaky player and he is the defending champ which are both normally red flags, but given his history at this event, and the lack of big names available in group A, he is definitely worth considering. Buyer beware, though, because there is no way to know how that bunker shot on Sunday this past week at the Honda will continue to affect his confidence.
Ernie Els - Ernie showed that he could win again this past week, but his swing is still off. He should figure it out and be fine but if not, you could be wasting a pick. That said, it's hard to pass on the pedigree of a player like Els who is coming off a win, and may be getting things rolling
JB Holmes - His last two outings have been pretty good. Tie for 7th at the Northern Trust Followed by a battle royal with Tiger at the Accenture. If you just want to pick the hot hand, you've found it.
Duds
Justin Rose - Justin is not playing well at all right now. Sure he finished strong this past week but I just haven't seen the type of play that I'm used to from him. He could prove me wrong, but until he does, I'm passing.
Geoff Ogilvy - 3 starts 3 missed cuts. Not much else I can add to that. A great player that can turn it around at any time, but it's not worth the risk in the A group.
Sleepers
Steve Stricker - I know, it's odd having the number 4 player in the world listed as a sleeper, but despite his ranking, I just don't think of him as a top contender yet. That said, he does step up and play big more often than not. You might pass a few folks if you take a flyer on him.
B Players
Studs
Matt Jones - This kid is going to win soon. He showed a lot of guts hanging in till the end at the Honda and his swing and demeanor will take him far. He also hasn't missed a cut yet which makes him a solid pick.
John Senden - John is coming off a few mediocre starts but look for him to get it back on track here. He showed last year that he can play well on this course and should be a contender.
Lucas Glover - Same deal here. Lucas hasn't played all that well this season but he's too good of a player to stay in a slump for long. He played well at this course last year and should be a factor again this week. Plus, with rain in the forecast, I'd rather pick proven players than newbies.
Duds
Retief Goosen - Ok fine, so I'm a little mad at him for falling on his face that last time I picked him but the fact of the matter is, he isn't playing well and there are no signs pointing to a turn around.
Sean O'Hair - Last year Sean was a stud nearly every week but he is definitely having an off year. Until he and some others turn things around, group B is slim pickings.
Daniel Chopra - Since his win at the Mercedez-Benz he has missed 3 cuts and finished outside the top 30 the other three times. Clearly he is riding his success and is content that he has kept his card this year. Until he gets the hunger to compete again, keep him on the bench.
Sleepers
Jesper Parnevik - Jesper had a good week last week, and owns the 3rd best 72 hole score at this event at 13 under. I think he has turned a corner and could contend this week.
Tag Ridings - Tag shot a final round 64 here in 2004 and has shown signs of life this season. A risky pick, but it might pay off big.
C Players
Studs
Joe Durant - Joe has handled this course extremely well in the past to the tune of 63. That kind of potential combined with 0 missed cuts this season makes him the top pick this week in Group C
Kenny Perry - All aboard!! The Kenny Perry train is rolling. Kenny is very streaky and I think the streak is revving up. He played pretty well last week, and again, I like the veterans this week with bad weather on the horizon.
Steve Marino - He is still rolling and racking up decent fantasy points every week. No reason to stop milking this cow just yet.
Duds
Tommy Armour III - Don't let a good track record talk you into picking him. His game is way off right now, and no amount of good memories is going to turn him into a contender this week.
Chez Reavie - The honeymoon is over. He made some fantasy owners very happy early in the year but the ride is over. He hasn't played well for a month now and I can't see any reason to believe that that is going to change this week.
Sleepers
Troy Matteson - He ripped this course for a 64 in 2006 so you know he has the potential to do some damage. Two missed cuts in the last two weeks makes him a risky pick though.

Monday Tidbits: The Honda Classic
Monday tidbits is a piece that will focus on some interesting things you may or may not have noticed from the previous week's tournament.
Luke Donald
Donald shot an opening round 64, to start the tournament at 6 under. He would play the next three rounds a combined 1 over. Had he just shot par for three straight days, he would have been in a playoff with Els.
Boo Weekley
Had essentially the same 3 footer on 18 that he had last year. Last year it would have given him the win and he missed it. This year he made it.....for an 80.
Mark Calcavecchia
I'm not sure about the ruling that Mark got on the 15th green after his bunker shot went into the rocks. I'm not a rule book junkie but I was really surprised when he was allowed to drop his ball on the green. I thought for sure that his only options were to go back in the bunker or go directly across the lake in the same direction. The announcers didn't really explain the ruling either, which keeps me wondering.
Matt Jones
Not really a tidbit so much as a thought. He seems like he is well on his way to becoming a star on tour. Of course we all thought the same thing about Kevin Na a few years ago and he has more or less leveled off. Definitely someone to keep an eye on though, especially for fantasy golf as he has not missed a cut yet this season.

I'm not sure about the ruling that Mark got on the 15th green after his bunker shot went into the rocks. I'm not a rule book junkie but I was really surprised when he was allowed to drop his ball on the green. I thought for sure that his only options were to go back in the bunker or go directly across the lake in the same direction. The announcers didn't really explain the ruling either, which keeps me wondering.
Matt Jones
Not really a tidbit so much as a thought. He seems like he is well on his way to becoming a star on tour. Of course we all thought the same thing about Kevin Na a few years ago and he has more or less leveled off. Definitely someone to keep an eye on though, especially for fantasy golf as he has not missed a cut yet this season.
