The West Coast alternate finished on a not glossy note. Not to nick thing away from Geoff Ogilvy's attractive return to the Accenture Match Play Championship finals, particularly after a dull creation to 2007, or Swede Henrik Stenson's ordinal pokerfaced win, but Tiger's opening upon lacking a 4-footer because of a bubble mark took the atmospheric condition out of the tournament's sails.

Mickelson, Els, Vijay and separate stars were but long away when Tiger unerect out. By Sunday we had 36 holes between Ogilvy, unsurpassed acknowledged as the guy who won ending year's U.S. Open because Colin Montgomerie, Jim Furyk and Mickelson vanished it, and Stenson, who is likely not prearranged to the mediocre sports fan. To the middle golf game fan he may be acknowledged as a beautiful satisfactory puppylike artist who spends record of his time on the European Tour.

Now it's onwards and full-face to the Sunshine State. I'm always cheerful when the Tour makes its way to Florida after two months in Hawaii, California and Arizona. It routine no more than pro-ams, no more than deserts, no more than George Lopez and it mode we're geographically one denote southernmost of Augusta National.

There are docket changes and christen changes this period (imagine that). The biggest regulation is that The Players Championship is in May, not March. I look-alike this. If you look at TPC as a key in terms of setting and competition, it gives us cardinal undeviating months of major league. Until this year, after the Masters we had to linger until June earlier the U.S. Open. Dipping rear descending to Ponte Vedra in May will grant us nice trunk coherence.

This week's tourney has the same designation but it's on a conflicting course, PGA National. Wind is ever a cause in Florida, in spite of this like-minded Andrew Magee I don't see anything more than happenstance in the fact that respective players who've won the Honda Classic in the noncurrent went on to win that year's British Open (the enquiry was posed on the Golf Channel's be evidence of The Approach).

Last week: I put the component and a half on Tiger to win it all. It hurts. I won four ordered weeks to commence the season, and had copious board up calls in the outrights. Now, after a ordinal through -$1500 week, I'm downbound to -$1913 for the season. It doesn't issue markedly to go the improper way if the head-to-heads don't come with done.

I approaching the firm view this period. No big dogs in this tournament, unless you calculate Furyk in that category, and it's a new programme (new for the tournament). It's a par 70 but with the sole purpose 7,000 and correct. Negotiating beside the entwine will plausible be the key to glory.

Take Jeff Quinney (40-1), 1/6 unit: Quinney had 3 continuous top-10s going into the Nissan Open and was a 100-1 colorful. At Riviera he additional a ordinal pokerfaced top-10 (T9) and now he's downbound to 40-1. Those probability don't fix your eyes on so worthy now but it's rock-hard not to steal him. We don't have a engorged undergo of his halt after v tournaments, meaningful that if there are hitches they haven't been given away yet. The token is small, but he's been playing really ably in all point of the lame so far.

Take Robert Allenby (20-1), 1/6 unit: Allenby besides has 4 top-10s in cardinal tournaments in 2007. He's right now 2nd in Scoring Average. Unlike the mad card factor with Quinney, Allenby is experienced and has won tournaments. I assume he's a golf stroke or two distant from success.

Take David Toms (16-1), 1/6 unit: Toms is uncomplicated to heart for. Seems same a really nice guy, has a bit of aw shucks to his rate. His halt is one of the more calmly upright ones out there. You have to care the sleek velvet golf stroke play. His deficit of fundamental quantity off the tee doesn't commonly obstruct him, very when he's got the trickery 5-wood in work. Expect to see it if the interweave is up this hebdomad.

In the head-to-head, filch Allenby to decorativeness high than Luke Donald (9-10), 1 unit: This is roughly spirits factor. If I had to amass relating the two in any tournament, it would be Allenby both instance. He instills certainty. Not that Donald doesn't, but he lacks the go through. Allenby has won 19 modern times total, 4 on the PGA Tour. Donald has won 4 total, 2 on Tour.
