Welcome back to the high-octane version of the six pack.
Sorry about the last two weeks (or should I say weaks), my schedule has not allowed me much free time.
How about the last major of the year?
Y.E. Yang battled and hung on to catch Tiger Woods on a Sunday—now there's something you don't see very often. What a great statement for Asian golf. It's remarkable how Yang becomes only the second Korean to win an event on the PGA, while in the LPGA the Korean influence is tremendous.
That being said, my six pack will feature one of three Koreans this week, so see if you can guess who it will be.
The field this week is spotty, but there is some value just waiting to be picked.
This year marks the first year that Sedgefield Country Club has hosted a PGA event in many years. The course places a premium on accuracy and is among the easier third of the courses on tour this year.
In case you were wondering, pictured above is Carl Petterson, the winner of last year's Wyndham Championship. I do not expect to see another picture like this at this event in 2009.
Poor Petterson is simply having a debacle of a season. He usually earns between $1.5-2.5 million in a season. So far this year he has only earned $365,000 with no more events left before the playoffs.
Petterson currently sits at No. 151 in the rankings and needs to jump up to 125th to make this year's playoffs for the FedEx cup.
Good luck with that one, Hot Carl.
I am still killing it in Yahoo, so why don't we start with my lineup?
GROUP A is going to have the well-playing Michael Letzig(10) starting, while K.J. Choi(7) backs him up.
GROUP B sees the accurate Tim Clark(7) and sneaky Jonathan Byrd(10) starting. U.S. Open winner Lucas Glover(8) and cagey veteran David Love III(3) back them up.
GROUP C will see Jason Dufner(7) drive the bus, while sleeper pick Rocco Mediate(10) goes along for the ride.
Let's get down with the six pack, shall we?
