Arnold Palmer Invitational POTW: Jason Day vs. Ian Poulter

Welcome to our Picks of the Week game! Rules are simple: Each week Bernardo and I will select one golfer entered in the current tournament. Whichever golfer finishes highest earns one of us a point. Exceptions: 3 points if our golfer wins the whole thing, Major Championships are doubled (so that's a possibility of 6 points), and tied finishes result in 0 points. Oh, and once we use a golfer, we can't use him for the rest of year. We're doing this until the TOUR Championship. Bernardo has won this 2 times in a row, so let's see if he can go for the three peat! 

JJ: Since we're only 3 weeks away from The Masters (Hooray!), it's time for most guys to get their golf games' in peak form. One of the guys who I expect to play well from here on out is Jason Day. The 25 year-old has had a solid season so far (no missed cuts), and as the season really begins to pick up, I think he'll step his game up another level. We expected a lot from him and 2012, but he didn't really deliver like he did in 2011. Now that he's had some time to get the pressure off of him, I think he'll show us that he belongs in the "elite" conversation this week.

Bernardo: The Arnold Palmer Invitational is a favorite stop for many and usually is dominated by El Tigre. This week I’m going with Ian Poulter. He hasn’t played much in the states this year but that shouldn’t stop the Englishmen from playing well this week. Good luck old chap!

Last week recap: Bernardo’s pick of Sergio Garcia continued his excellent season with another top-10, and earned him the point over JJ’s pick of Retief Goosen.

JJ's used: Brandt Snedeker, Jason Dufner, Padraig Harrington, Luke Donald, Rory McIlroy, Billy Horschel, Retief Goosen

Bernardo's used: Keegan Bradley, Brandt Snedeker, Phil Mickelson, Aaron Baddeley, Tiger Woods, Graeme McDowell, Sergio Garcia
