Pick of the Week: Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial

This week the PGA Tour visits Colonial Country Club for the Crowne Plaza Invitational, past champions on this course are Sergio Garcia, Kenny Perry, Zach Johnson, even legends like Tom Watson. For this event my pick is Stewart Cink, with great finishes in the past two events, building up momentum coming into this week. Last year at Colonial, he fired over 3 rounds in the 60s, good enough for a top 25. This guy has game, this might be the week to reveal whats cooking in the bag. Hopefully Cink can pull through for me, allowing me to gain a larger lead. The gap between the points is getting pretty large, me and jj might have to use some of our engineering techniques, to make use of such great space. Some notable players to watch this week are: Sergio Garcia, Hunter Mahan, and David Toms. Garcia was able to achieve a T12 with a impressive final round 65, another example of momentum coming into this week. David Toms, veteran player, was firing on all pistols last week at TPC Sawgrass, but was not able to seal the deal Sunday afternoon, but expect a great finish. Hunter Mahan doesn’t have a great record here, but I believe he will pull through this week, finishing in the top 25. 

Party In 'NOLA

This week on the PGA Tour the players stopped in the Big Easy to compete in the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. The fans were in for quite a tourney this week, with Bubba Watson and Webb Simpson duking it out on the 18th hole a few times before Bubba ground out a win. They entered the playoff both at 15 under par. Webb could have won the entire thing outright, but an honest mistake penalty of him touching his ball down the stretch on a tap in par putt cost him a shot and had him head in the clubhouse parring out. Bubba too had a chance to win the tournament, but he left his birdie bid on the 72nd hold just inches short, and off to the playoff went. The playoff saw some pretty good golf action, with Bubba birdieing 2 out of the 3 times they played it, with the final birdie to beat Simpson. Bubba now leads the Fed Ex Cup with his 3rd win in 10 months, while the young Webb still searches on for that elusive first PGA Victory.
