Outrights:
Lucas Glover(400/1) e.w.
- - A strong play for me this week (off a double bogie on his final hole last week to miss the cut), as I would always put this event among my top 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 opportunities for G.Lover in any season.
Hudson Swafford(150/1) e.w.
- - Starts the season racking up a very impressive line of scores, with an almost freaky looking array of stats; I sort of doubt that poa annua greens are the right recipe for the Georgia lad this week, but he's been on my radar and makes the team.

Kyle Stanley(200/1) e.w.
- - A newlywed (?), with a bounce in his step from the Seahawks punching their ticket to the Super Bowl, with a chance to pop early before Phoenix, at a place that will owe him something until something gets paid back.

Charles Howell(55/1) e.w.
- - Another player like Stanley who is still owed a better fate around Torrey Pines, and the play seems justified more by substance than mere speculation. But these greens usually require some bold strokes from inside five feet like Snedeker or Stanley or Woods deliver, and not the pace Howell prefers.
Michael Kim(200/1) e.w.
- - I'll take his ANGLE and his credentials and his price over immersed locals like Fowler (he doesn't own his swing) and Lovemark and Perez.
Nick Watney(40/1) e.w.
- - I always thought a few like Johnny Miller were way too high on this guy, but I can like him in this season debut.

randt Snedeker(20/1) e.w.
- - He says his game is awesome right now even if his results have me doubting that company line.
Ben Crane(110/1) e.w.
- - Word he's been "practicing hard in California" sold me on this play.
Justin Leonard(100/1) e.w.
- - I've been indecisive and none too sure what to make of this play, and on the whole, I'm surprised I included it.
I can't believe I missed the Wednesday start in Qatar, as I have had some success in that event, and I was really sort of liking some of my definites and my maybes on my sheet. Since then I've been indecisive in the debate I've been having with myself of whether the opportunities to jump in the fray in-running would be advisable.
