Here we go, it's ATT Pro-Am time At Pebble Beach. What a wild and crazy time!
This crazy tournament is like several tournaments in one... you play on four different courses, and the low amateurs play right along with the pros on the weekend.
Let's hope I do better this week.
This week, I really like Phi Mickelson. He's won this tournament multiple times, and and aside from 2006 when he was "re-tooling", he's finished well. I chose him over Justin Leonard, Daniel Chopra, D. J Trahan, and J. B. Holmes.
In the second group, it's a tough choice between Brandt Snedeker and Kevin Sutherland. I'm choosing Brandt Snedeker this week based on his playing confidence at the FBR Open. My other choices were Steve Elkington, Steve Marino, and Kevin Na.
Group 3 is all about Jim Furyk who has the right temperament and game. He's finished well there several times. My other choices include Mike Weir, Nick Watney, and first-timer's Dustin Johnson, and Chez Reavie.
I'm selecting Mark Wilson for my Group 4 player. He's playing a little steadier than the remaining golfers in that group. The guys I'll leave on the bench are Hunter Mahan, Pat Perez, Charlie Hoffman, and Tom Pernice, Jr.
Jonathon Byrd played well enough this past week to make my team again this week. He's finished as high as third in a past year. My benched players include Vijay Singh, Ryan, Moore, Charlie Wii, and Parker McLachlin.
Briny Baird rounds out my team for this weekend. He showed a lot of spunk this past weekend. My benched players include Jeff Quinny, Brian Gay, Matt Jones, and Brett Rumford.
Now, if the amateur teams just don't get in the way... and my guys play well, like they know what they're doing.
