Pick of Week


Jason Day walks with his wife Ellie during the Par 3 Contestst 

This week the PGA Tour visits Harbor Town Golf Links for The Heritage. Home of the symbolic Light House Tower on the 18th hole. My pick of the week is Jason Day. After a tie for 2nd at the Masters, Jason Day has provided to be a contender. So the odds are high since he almost won the biggest tournament in golf two weeks ago. The field is certainly filled with many great players, that will be in the race for the win. After some disappointing starts at the last two events: the Masters and Valero Texas Open. My fellow blogger picked Luke Donald, who is suggested as the number one pick to win this week. Hopefully Jason Day can pull through and allow me to keep a high lead against JJ. Some notable players to watch this week are Boo Weekley and Jim Furyk. Weekley has won twice here when his game is on. So a comeback can occur this week, since he has acquired confidence on this course. Furyk is the defending champion and hopes to reclaim his title. This course is considered to be a ball strikers course. So someone like Furyk, who can work the ball has a clear advantage in the field. Some poor tee shots can certainly knock a player out of contention. This will be a  weakness for Luke Donald, just as we observed at the WGC.
