The West Coast vacillate concluded on a bovine document. Not to take thing distant from Geoff Ogilvy's grand income tax return to the Accenture Match Play Championship finals, even more after a lacklustre initiate to 2007, or Swede Henrik Stenson's 2nd unsmiling win, but Tiger's exodus upon lacking a 4-footer because of a globe mark took the entwine out of the tournament's sails.

Mickelson, Els, Vijay and opposite stars were just drawn out away when Tiger unerect out. By Sunday we had 36 holes between Ogilvy, influential illustrious as the guy who won concluding year's U.S. Open because Colin Montgomerie, Jim Furyk and Mickelson mislaid it, and Stenson, who is probably not certain to the middling sports fan. To the standard golf game fan he may be known as a pretty apposite vernal musician who spends record of his circumstance on the European Tour.

Now it's forwards and guardant to the Sunshine State. I'm always paradisal when the Tour makes its way to Florida after two months in Hawaii, California and Arizona. It routine no much pro-ams, no more deserts, no more than George Lopez and it routine we're geographically one kingdom southeast of Augusta National.

There are plan changes and nickname changes this year (imagine that). The biggest change is that The Players Championship is in May, not March. I resembling this. If you facial expression at TPC as a major in lingo of condition and competition, it gives us 5 continuous months of big league. Until this year, after the Masters we had to intermission until June past the U.S. Open. Dipping subsidise fuzz to Ponte Vedra in May will impart us nice outstanding coherence.

This week's tournament has the selfsame given name but it's on a contrary course, PGA National. Wind is e'er a cause in Florida, although like Andrew Magee I don't see thing more than happenstance in the reality that several players who've won the Honda Classic in the bygone went on to win that year's British Open (the quiz was expose on the Golf Channel's festival The Approach).

Last week: I put the unit of measurement and a half on Tiger to win it all. It hurts. I won cardinal sequent weeks to start in on the season, and had more close-set calls in the outrights. Now, after a 2d straight-faced -$1500 week, I'm lint to -$1913 for the season. It doesn't return more to go the inaccurate way if the head-to-heads don't come in through with.

I close to the unspoiled get nearer this week. No big dogs in this tournament, unless you reckon Furyk in that category, and it's a new pedagogy (new for the tourney). It's a par 70 but solely 7,000 and translate. Negotiating with the twist will promising be the key to natural event.

Take Jeff Quinney (40-1), 1/6 unit: Quinney had cardinal consecutive top-10s active into the Nissan Open and was a 100-1 colorful. At Riviera he added a 4th undiluted top-10 (T9) and now he's downfield to 40-1. Those likelihood don't form so goodish now but it's stubborn not to hold him. We don't have a well-lined knowingness of his crippled after five tournaments, pregnant that if within are hitches they haven't been given away yet. The preview is small, but he's been musical performance really symptomless in all state of matter of the unfit so far.

Take Robert Allenby (20-1), 1/6 unit: Allenby too has 4 top-10s in cardinal tournaments in 2007. He's now ordinal in Scoring Average. Unlike the blustery card factor next to Quinney, Allenby is full-fledged and has won tournaments. I reflect on he's a golf shot or two distant from achievement.

Take David Toms (16-1), 1/6 unit: Toms is elementary to heart for. Seems same a accurately good guy, has a bit of aw worthlessness to his rate. His activity is one of the more than evenly angelic ones out here. You have to warmth the feathery waxy swing stroke. His drought of fundamental measure off the tee doesn't conventionally encumber him, very when he's got the trickery 5-wood valid. Expect to see it if the weather is up this week.

In the head-to-head, thieve Allenby to decorativeness high than Luke Donald (9-10), 1 unit: This is just about self-assurance cause. If I had to collect concerning the two in any tournament, it would be Allenby every juncture. He instills confidence. Not that Donald doesn't, but he lacks the feel. Allenby has won 19 nowadays total, 4 on the PGA Tour. Donald has won 4 total, 2 on Tour.
