Greenbrier Classic Pick of Week

Jeff Overton at the British Open

Its Wednesday and its time for the Pick of the Week. This week the PGA Tour heads to West Virginia for the Greenbrier Classic, played on the Old White TPC course. Stuart Appleby was able to shoot a rare 59, to win by one stroke over Jeff Overton last year. Old White TPC is ranked among the easiest courses on tour, causing the tournament directors to make some changes to the course layout. Hopefully hindering  pin seekers from destroying the course and taking its popularity among top players with it. Since this might not attract the class of players they need in order to boost T.V. Ratings. Lacking the challenging course conditions, isn’t stopping some big names like Sergio Garcia, Phil Mickelson, and Tom Watson from adding this event to their schedule. My pick of the week is Jeff Overton, last year’s runner up at the Greenbrier. Overton has had a slow season, recently exhibiting some great play at the AT&T National finishing in a tie for third. So far this year Overton has played 18 events, making the cut in 16 of those events which reveal he is a worthy pick and most importantly reliable. Many critics are pulling for Overton to win since he is a tremendous talent, who should be able to produce a win per year.
 

Note: So far the golfers I have used this year are-  Bubba Watson, Martin Kaymer, Tiger Woods, Matt Kuchar, Phil Mickelson, Adam Scott, Jason Day, Luke Donald, Rory Mcllroy, Stewart Cink, Dustin Johnson, Justin Rose, David Toms, Lee Westwood, Webb Simpson, Ryan Moore, Steve Stricker, Ian Poulter, and Charl Schwartzel.
