Gee, I just love these thrilling events at courses where we have no history and household names such as Dean Wilson and Greg Chalmers are capturing the TV coverage on a Sunday afternoon. Exit Canadian Open, enter Greenbriar Classic!
The Old White Course at the Greenbriar Resort in White Sulpher Springs, West Virginia is the host this week, and it has plenty of history (built around the turn of the century), just not the recent PGA Tour history that would help us decipher the code this week for fantasy sticks.
The inaugural Greenbriar event features Jim Furyk as the top ranked golfer in the world, and he'll be on the short list of guys who should contend this week. The only other player in the top 25 in the WGR is Matt Kuchar, who has continued his breakout season with three top 10s in his last four Tour starts.
Other golfers in the field who are playing weel include last week's Euro winner (and former Tour winner) Richard Johnson, and the aforementioned Wilson, but neither has lit the world on fire in 2010. I like Ricky Barnes this week, who is steadily knocking on the victory door. Carl Petterson is here too off his win and blistery 60 last Saturday in Toronto. Jeff Overton and JB Holmes have also been playing some golf as of late, and Trevor Immelman is creeping back into the conversation with consecutive top 25s for the first time since 2008.
In non-Greenbriar news, good to see that AK is almost ready to tee it up again.
