This Week In The PGA

This week was a good one for golf fans.

I can't remember the last time three players shot four sub-70 rounds on a good course like Doral. The weather in South Florida was fantastic and the scoring showed that conditions were ideal.

Phil Mickelson held off Nick Watney to win for the second time this season. Both players already had one win, so Phil jumps up to number one for the season.

Geoff Ogilvy will be right there, this season, and now everyone waits to see if Tiger comes back strong as well.

Tiger shot eight under par the last two days, and just needs to get the rust off his putter.

My fantasy team which included Tiger, this week, did pretty well.  My other three guys, Rory McElvoy, Steve Stricker, and Ian Poulter, notched up a 20th, a 13th, and a 13th, along with Tiger's ninth place finish.

I may finally catch a Yahoo expert, with my point total of around 1250 points and my 36,000  ranking. Look out, Michael Arkush.

In the Puerto Rico Open, Michael Bradley came out on top, and with it an invite to the Master's in April and other majors in the future.

Next week the PGA plays at the Westin Innisbrook-Copperhead Course in Palm Harbor, Florida.

I have selected some hot players to try and up my fantasy points next week.

My A player will be Jim Furyk, who was the other player this last week to shoot four rounds under 70 and capture third place at the WGA Golf Championship at Doral, behind Phil Mickelson and Nick Watney.

My B players will be Nick Watney, who is hot, and Zach Johnson who is playing pretty well this season also.

My C player will be Ben Crane, who does have a second place this season.

On the bench for back-ups or missed cuts (not likely with these four) will be Kenny Perry, Charlie Hoffman, Steve Stricker, and Kevin Streelman.

This line up looks very good to me, this coming week.

Our next Tiger appearance should be the Arnold Palmer Invitational, where Tiger defends his title, near his home in Orlando, Florida, at Bay Hill.

Yes, I will take Tiger on my fantasy team that week also, as I expect a wire to wire victory on Tiger's home turf.

Enjoy it while you can, Phil, but all good things come to an end. A Tiger is lurking down the path and he grows hungrier by the hour.

Good golfing to everyone, may the hole seem huge, and the fairways wide.
