Hellloooooo everyone, and welcome to this week's edition of Pick of the Week, brought to you by.... US! This week the TOUR heads to play the 2nd annual Greenbrier Classic in West Virginia. The course that they'll be playing at is Old White TPC, which has had some changes from the previous year. This field also attracts a notable amount of big names. Ryder Cup stars like Jeff Overton and Phil Mickelson are here. The never aging Tom Watson is here. Mr. 59 himself, Stuart Appleby, will be trying to defend his title here. And, Spanish star Sergio Garcia will also be playing. All of them are primed to have a good week, and hopefully most of them will be in contention by Sunday afternoon. But, alas, none of them are my pick for this week. This week, I'm going to go with a relatively quiet American. I'm going with Charles Howell III, or "chucky 3 sticks". Howell has had a super solid yet super quiet season so far, posting 5 top 10s this year and staying 24th in the FedEx cup race. This one famed "next big thing" hasn't really panned out the way many had hoped, but he is still very young (early 30s), and has many more solid years to come. And if he can win here- who knows, it might just be a springboard for something bigger.
