Valero Texas Open POTW: Ian Poulter vs. Brian Davis

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: We're now 1 week away from The Masters, which means this is the last possible chance for players to get competitive rounds under their belt. And although the Valero Texas Open doesn't boast an "Augusta-like" course like the Shell Houston Open did, it's still a very good tournament and set up. So, for this week, I'm taking Ian Poulter. Even though he added this course at the last minute, his game has been decent enough that I think he'll be able to contend this week and get himself ready for Augusta.

Bernardo: This week I'm going with Brian Davis. Its been a rough season so far for Davis but he played well at the Shell Houston Open last week, hopefully he will exhibit similar results this week. Good luck chap!
