Golfers to Watch
Martin Kaymer, Germany
The German is one of nine major champions participating in the event. Notably, heโs the defending champion at Mission Hills after shooting a remarkable fourth-round 63 to inch out a three-stroke victory last season.
Kaymer is having a rough go of it in 2012 and hasnโt won a tournament since the last time he was in Guangdong. He hasnโt finished higher than 20th in any of the WGC stroke-play events this season.
Phil Mickelson, USA
Lefty is a two-time WGC tournament winner, although both of those wins came in 2009. Heโs also won this specific tournament two times, once in 2009 when it was a part of the WGC and once in 2007 when it was not. Both of those wins were at Shenshan International in Shanghai. He did not participate in the event in 2011.
Ian Poulter, England
Poulter is finishing off an impressive 2012 season that includes nine Top 10 finishes in stroke-play events and an incredible showing at the Ryder Cup. His heroics helped seal a huge European comeback to topple the hosting USA team.

Prediction: Luke Donald Wins
Donald is a one-time WGC winner, having won the Accenture Match Play Championship in 2011. Heโs had two Top 10 finishes in play this season.
His short-game has guided him to a lofty reputation as one of the worldโs best around the greens. That was on display during last weekโs BMW Masters in Shanghai. Donald shot just five bogeys and finished the tournament in third place.
