Predictions: Bob Hope Classic

The Tour moves back to the mainland this week with the first event in the “California swing”, the Bob Hope Classic. This is the last remaining 90-hole event on the Tour.

My pick to win this week is a popular one, Mike Weir. Weir is a past champion at the event (2003) and tied for third in last year’s tournament.

My Yahoo Fantasy Golf team for this week is:
“Front 4": Ryan Moore, Chad Campbell, Charles Howell III, Mike Weir
“Bench team”: Justin Leonard, Mark Calcavecchia, Scott Piercy, Paul Goydos

My 2010 predictions aren’t off to a great start this week. Last week’s picks, Kevin Na and K.J. Choi, finished 52nd and 39th, respectively, proving that “past performance is no guarantee of future results” indeed. But there’s still a lot of season left.

My Yahoo Fantasy Golf team finished the week with 338 points, in the 67th percentile, hampered especially by both of my C-level players (Matt Kuchar and Parker McLachlin) missing the cut, and keeping Steve Stricker benched for Zach Johnson in the final round. Oh well, there’s a lot more of the 2010 season left.

Best of luck to all, and here’s hoping the rain holds off!
