Sunny Florida is anything but this Wednesday afternoon, at least on I-10 heading east toward Jacksonville and Ponte Vedra. But indoors now and just a few miles from TPC Sawgrass, I'm ready to make my picks for the Players Championship.
My three "spotlight players" this week are Stephen Ames, Jim Furyk, and Ben Crane. All three have turned in some good performances here in Ponte Vedra; Ames is the 2nd-leading money winner at TPC, and Furyk and Crane both had top 10's last year.
My Yahoo Fantasy Golf team for this week:
"Front 4": Stephen Ames, Jim Furyk, Henrik Stenson, Ben Crane
"Bench team": Phil Mickelson, Kevin Na, Brian Davis, Ian Poulter
Last week's picks weren't great. Stuart Appleby was my only "spotlight player" to make the cut, and he finished in 69th. Hopefully, this week will be better. My Yahoo Fantasy Golf standings: 2521 points, 82nd percentile.
Best of luck to all!

Predictions: SBS Championship
It’s time for my first tournament predictions of 2010. This week’s tournament is the winners-only SBS Championship in sunny, warm, beautiful Hawaii (reporting from 13-degree weather and snow flurries, I’m terribly jealous of those in Kapalua).
My pick to win this week is Zach Johnson. Yes, I’m one of the millions on the Zach bandwagon, and why not? He played the best golf in his career in 2009, and had two top-10’s in last year’s “Hawaii swing”, with a 6th at Kapalua and a win at Sony.
My “runners-up” are Stephen Ames and Steve Stricker. Again, very popular picks. Both had top-5 finishes at Kapalua in 2008.
For those readers who play Fantasy Golf on Yahoo, here’s my roster for SBS:
“Front 4”: Zach Johnson, Nick Watney, Dustin Johnson, Matt Kuchar
“Bench team”: Stephen Ames, Geoff Ogilvy, Pat Perez, Paul Casey [Casey would ordinarily start, but I’m waiting to see if he is in fact completely recovered from last year’s oblique injury.]
Best of luck to all in Kapalua this week! Possibly-humbling prediction results coming after the conclusion of the tournament…
