I am coming off a T8 with Luke Donald last week which isn’t that bad. I will take a top ten! I think I learned my lesson with picking a guy back to back though. I do like Bubba Watson this week, but I am going to go with another long bomber as my main pick. I am going with Dustin Johnson. He played well last week overseas and he has had a slow start to his year thus far. It is time for him to put together a good week of golf and bring home a win.
My sleeper pick is definitely De Jonge. The guy lives down there and is native to the course, not to mention a T4 last year. I don’t think he has the refined game to finish the job, but he should be in the mix.
The field this week has some serious depth and I will be watching to see if a few of the young guys who have been playing well can hold their own against a stacked field. This tournament was fantastic last year with Rory’s unreal Sunday score. I doubt we will see another Sunday 62, but I do expect there to be some amazing golf and some great names high up on the leader board. Come on Dustin let’s see the two biggest bombers on tour win back to back weeks.
