definitely going to put a bet on mickelson

Webb Simpson for me, the course is on his doorstep, always plays well with local support and its a course that has the emphasis on good putting and he ticks that box.

next event has double pts i think

Here's some advice. Stick David Toms in. Lost in a play off here last year, loves the course. Plays well this time of year (finished well last week also)

I'd avoid him tbh, last year wasn't reflective of his overall record there.

David Toms:
2 (-13) CUT (-1) T-9 (-4) T-32 (+6) T-64 (+4) CUT (+6) T-68 (+8) CUT (+4) CUT (+1) T-19 (Even) T-12 (-4) T-38 (+5) T-20 (+5) CUT (+3) CUT (+9) CUT (+1) CUT (+6) CUT (-1) CUT (+6 )

He was also in much better form last year, we've seen nothing from him this year thusfar.

Interestingly, hot favourite for the event, Rory has played this event twice in 2009 and 2010 and missed both cuts. He didn't play last year, presumably because he's not in love with the course. He's 11/2 with Paddy to miss again - big price imo.

About 5-6 posts back.

It's Juliet.

Hi lads. Bud Cauley is playing in his first Players, but is a local and has played Sawgrass over 100 times. Jason Day is coming off a great finish at Wells Fargo and did really well here last year T6th I think. Zack Johnson is widely tipped as a possible winner, and Ben Crane has 3 top 6 finishes here. I've them all picked, could obviously be horribly wrong though!! Some great e/w odds there too.

I didn't know Bud was a local, has he ever played the course well though? I've played my local course hundreds of times, but you'd never know!!

I never back Day as he is always far too short - good player on his day (is that a pun?), but overrated considering he's won once.

Crane is a good call though.

Others to note are:
Harrington (some lovely performances here back 7/8 years ago and seems to be starting to find a little form).
O'Hair, always underrated and could have won here in 07 before taking about 20 on the 17th on the last day.
Stenson, a previous winner who is also finding form after 2 horrendous years.
Na, another vastly underrated player who has finished 3rd here, gone a little off the boil since the masters, but still worth a punt at 300 on betfair. Mark Wilson is another at 300+ and again is always underrated, 3 wins since the start of last year can't be sniffed at.
Cink is another proven winner coming off a 2 year slump with good course form - (500 odd on betfair).

You can't back them all (but you can put 6 in your fantasy team), but if you want somebody to really give you a run then maybe Scott or Garcia, both previous winners and whilst both are a little short in the betting given recent form, you can never rule them out.

G-mac for me, he tends to go well around Sawgrass (apart from 79 in closing round last year)

I do like backing the locals but Cauley is a bit of a stretch, so not for me. I've left Simpson in after last weeks efforts and added, na, poulter, z Johnson, oosthuizen, mahan. GL whoever u go for.
