Tampa Bay Championship POTW: Retief Goosen vs. Sergio Garcia

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! 

VS    

JJ: For this week, I'm going with Retief Goosen for a few simple reasons. First and foremost, he's won here before. That gives a mental advantage to him already. Second, he plays well at tough courses (U.S. Open champ), and this tournament is known as one of the toughest. Finally, he hasn't won in a while, and is overdue for a W. It only seems fitting that he should play well here, and possibly grab a win too.

Bernardo: This week I’m going with my favorite player on tour, Sergio Garcia. He played well last week finishing in a tie for third. With that said he should be able to carry on the good play into this week.  Sergio could definitely use a win this year and why not start off early (this will be his 4^th event he’s played on the PGA Tour this year). With a fairly stacked field a great finish or possible win should be greatly noted.

Recap: Due to some unforeseen issues, there was no POTW for the WGC Cadillac Championship. Therefore, it is considered a tie.

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

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