Carl Petterson, a dark horse on my team

There are those who would say I'm nuts for selecting Carl Petterson. On paper he's no more than an average tour player, making the cut in just a little over half his starts (58.2%).

One thing I noticed over the last two years, he plays much better after it warms up. In 2004 he didn't miss a cut after the middle of June, and in 2005, he made the cut in in his last 8 tournaments. He finished that run with a win, a tie for second, a tie for fourth, and an 11th.

In 2004, he was kind of the same way. You can bet I'll be playing him more as the season warms up. Until then, he may be sitting on the fantasy bench.

Carl was my 7th of 10 picks for my fantasy team.
