Wyndham chmpionship

If a golfer grounds his club in the sand in the woods but no one sees him, did he ground the club?

This week, the Wyndham Championship offers just a pinch more talent than my local muni.  On top of that, they've only been playing on this track for two years, so we don't have a lot of course history either.  As the Bad Idea Bears would say..."Yaaaaaaay!".

Ryan Moore is the defender and I suppose he's as good a pick as any as he combines talent with success here.

There's actually only one player who has finished in the top 20 in each of the last two years here and that's Scott McCarron.  I suppose that makes him interesting for the first time since calling out Lefty on the groove issue.  Anthony Kim is the highest ranked player in the field, but he isn't in form.  Ditto Henrik Stenson, who had back to back disasters in Akron and Kohler.

Other contenders include Jerry Kelly, who may just count this as his best event on Tour with four top 10s and seven top 20s in 12 starts, and Lucas Glover, who hasn't failed to play the weekend here in six tries and fell out of the top 25 just once.  Both have had success on the new course.  I suppose I could be talked into 2008 champ, Carl Petterson, as well.

My pick, however, is Jason Dufner.  He has just one top ten here in four starts (and two missed cuts), but he is playing well (top 10 in the PGA) and may just be one of the best golfers in an extremely weak field.
