Pick of the Week: Zurich Classic of New Orlean

Luke Donald 

This week the PGA Tour visits the wonderful city of New Orleans, for the Zurich Classic. My pick of the week is Luke Donald. After the disappointment last week at The Heritage, Donald will certainly have a comeback this week. Firing at all cylinders trying to achieve the No1 position in the world. Donald hasn't play here before, but that wont't be a problem for the pin seeking Englishmen. My fellow blogger JJ finally got a point last week using Donald, so now its my turn to take advantage of this talented golfer. Some notable players to watch are Jeff Overton, Nick Watney, and Brandt Snedeker. This course has suited Overton's game the past few years with T2 and T13 finishes. Watney has been pretty silent the past few weeks but is one of the hottest players on tour. He is in second in scoring average and first in overall ranking on tour. Snedeker coming off a great win over Donald at The Heritage. Its difficult to win two weeks in a row unless your Tiger in his prime. But the sudden death playoff revealed that maybe he will be a valuable player in the upcoming Ryder Cup. A quick side note, It was great seeing Barcelona overcome Real Madrid today.  

Note: So far the golfers I have used this year are-  Bubba Watson, Martin Kaymer, Tiger Woods, Matt Kuchar, Phil Mickelson, Adam Scott, Jason Day, and Luke Donald.    

Who's the best couple on tour?

Pick of the Week: The Heritage

Hellooooooo everyone, and welcome back to this week's edition of "Pick of the Week". This week, the TOUR heads to famed Hilton Head as the professional golfers compete in what is now simply called "The Heritage". Much like Augusta, this tournament holds a lot of tradition and the winner receives a jacket as well. Albeit a red plaid jacket, but a stylish one none the less! This week should be a lot of fun to watch, as it brings a lot of big names year in and year out. Names such as Jim Furyk, Aaron Baddeley, Luke Donald, Graeme McDowell, Matt Kuchar, and Jason Day are here to compete and win at this event. And since it might not be back next year due to sponsorship issues, they would all like to be known as the last to win here. For this week's pick, I'm going with Englishman Luke Donald. The aforementioned world number 3 has had a great season so far, with a win at the WGC Match-Play earlier this year along with a string of top 10's to boot. The guy doesn't hit it far, but he is arguably one of the best iron players on the planet and has world-class short game. It's no surprise that he is in the top 5 in the world, and with a win this week he could even vault all the way to top. So, I predict him to take the crown this week, and help me get one step closer to catching my fellow blogger Bernardo.

Note: So far the golfers I have used this year are- Phil Mickelson, Geoff Ogilvy, Rickie Fowler, Aaron Baddeley, Hunter Mahan, Ricky Barnes, and now Luke Donald.
