The 2009 Deutsche Bank Championship Six Pack

There's none other than Vijay Singh himself hoisting the cup after his victory at last years Deutsche Bank Championship.

Truth be told, I really think Singh has a solid shot this weekend, except I never pick people to repeat.

So he won't be in the six pack this week.

Congrats goes out to Heath Slocum for last weeks impressive, yet sneaky, victory last week. He held off some of the best guys on tour!

One of which was none other than six pack candidate Steve Stricker. I can't believe he missed that putt...

TPC Norton is the site of this weeks venue and right in my back yard. I wish I was attending, but alas, I must go out and play to get ready for my club championship next weekend.

There are lots of interesting linksmen to pick from this week. I urge you to heed caution when making your selections this week. There are lots of really GREAT golfers playing this week, that have not been living up to their potential lately.

I am still kicking tail in Yahoo Fantasy. I had a decent week last week and used my final Tiger Woods start of the season. I am fifth in my group, The Fans of Hunter Mahan, and am also 796th overall in the entire pool of candidates on the entire site. Perhaps Yahoo's experts, may want to take note of this weeks selections:

GROUP A is going to have the reliable Robert Allenby starting, while red hot veteran Ernie Els rides the bench.

GROUP B sees stupendous super stud, Steve Stricker swinging strong with Steve Marino, while my favorite Hunter Mahan and the always consistent Zach Johnson play the back up roles.

GROUP C is going to see the surging Ian Poulter starting, while downward trending Retief Goosen plays second fiddle.

Last weeks T5 with Stricker paid us a little bit, but we can do better than 6:1 this week can't we (even though he came in 2nd)?

Without further ado, I present this weeks frothy and refreshing six pack...

No. 1 Steve Stricker

Steve let last week slip away uncharacteristically, but I think will definitely be in the hunt again this week. Ernie Els was almost my choice, but I think Strickers consistency will pay off.

Steve is currently second in FedEx Cup points, and second in scoring average with 69.25 strokes per round.

Stricker continues to be the best scrambler on tour, and is ninth in Par Breakers at 22.47 percent.

Steve is 20:1 to win it all this week. The way he is playing as of late, tells me he has a great chance of getting it done.

No. 2 Ian Poulter

Sure, he and Robert Allenby may shop for sunglasses together. They probably will contend for the Deutsche Bank Cup together as well this weekend.

Poulter looks for his first ever PGA victory this week. His recent play indicates, he is certainly trending in the right direction to do just that.

Ian is ranked fourth on tour in average putts per round at 28.16 which certainly could be the difference this weekend. I also love the fact that he is a great scrambler who can get himself up and down to save pars.

At 50:1, you have to take a serious peek at Poulter to get it done this week. He is having a terrific year.

No. 3 Robert Allenby

Robert Allenby has played great at this event, and is playing some very solid golf over his last five events.

Allenby is not having the stellar season that he had last year, but his recent trending makes him a prime candidate for victory this week. Robert is an excellent driver of the ball, ranking ninth in Total Driving.

Roberts ball striking is also nothing short of fantastic, which assures him lots of greens in regulation, helping him go low this weekend.

At 50:1 odds you can't go wrong with this keen Aussie standout.

No. 4 Dustin Johnson

Johnson faded out a bit in the second half of the season. He banged up his wrist a little bit, but he then did the smart thing and took it easy for a few weeks. Thankfully to that smart decision, he is here now, seriously contending for the FedEx Cup.

Johnson crushes the ball off the tee ranking fourth at just over 307 yards. DJ is the absolute best Par Breaker on tour shooting in the red on just over 24 percent of his holes.

If he gets the putter rolling true this week, he is going to be a factor for sure.

DJ's current trending suggests he is back on track.

I love Dustin Johnson this week at 66:1 odds.

No. 5 Steve Marino

If this guy keep his focus, and his composure, he will be contending on Sunday.

Marino is a birdie machine, ranking fourth with 318 birdies on the year.

There were some questions surrounding Marino's back a couple of weeks ago, but his last two events being in the top fifteen places, indicate to me, that he is fine.

Steve ranks 12th in scoring average at 69.89 strokes per round.

I declared that this guy was going to win two events this year, and hopefully this week marks the first...

Take Steve Marino this week at 66:1 odds.

No. 6 Bill Haas

Now my long shot of the week, Bill Haas.

His dad Jay is one of the best guys on the Champions Tour, and was an outstanding guy on the PGA as well.

Good golf runs in this family, even though Bill's solid performance, will truly blossom NEXT year.

I think that Haas' recent trending up made him rise far above all of the other triple digit long shots.

Plus, he can absolutely thump the ball a mile off the tee.

If he keeps doing what he has been lately, he could definitely be this weeks "Sunday Surprise."

No matter who you choose, choose wisely, and as always, play the draw!
