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: As we close in on The Masters (2 weeks to go!), I'm going to pick someone this week that has a lot of motivation to guarantee his invite to Augusta: Charles Howell III. Charles is a native of Augusta, Georgia, and hasn't qualified for The Masters yet. He sits 57th in the world rankings, and needs a solid finish this week to finish in the top 50 and secure his place. With 5 top 25 finishes in 9 starts this year, he's already surpassed his earnings from all of 2012. And I expect this bounce-back season of his to continue this week at the SHO. He's long overdue for a win, and he might just get it on a course that is somewhat similar to Augusta National.
Bernardo: Steve Stricker
Last week recap: Bernardo’s pick of Ian Poulter easily out shined Jason Day, earning him another point.
JJ's used: Brandt Snedeker, Jason Dufner, Padraig Harrington, Luke Donald, Rory McIlroy, Billy Horschel, Retief Goosen, Jason Day
Bernardo's used: Keegan Bradley, Brandt Snedeker, Phil Mickelson, Aaron Baddeley, Tiger Woods, Graeme McDowell, Sergio Garcia, Ian Poulter
