This week the USA PGA Tour pulls into the mainland to play the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic in California.

I am going to go with the top 3. Then am going to skip over Dustin Johnson. I just don't know if he can hold it together for 5 rounds. He is playing well coming into this tournament, but it is hard to tell if he will be able to focus come the weekend if he makes the cut.
My 4th pick is David Toms. He is hungry for a win, and he is is focused. That should bode well for him this week during the 5 day tournament.
My 5th pick is Chez. I have the same reservation with Chez as I have with Dustin Johnson. However, I feel good about Chez's playing and mental game right now. So hopefully that will pay dividends in the Hope.
Below are my 5 picks for the Bob Hope:

Since it doesn't look like the Tour Insider (Dave Shedloski) will be making picks this year, I will definitely need to find another public opponent. Several people posted suggestions last week. Thanks for doing that. I will look through them and make comments this week. Then hopefully by next week there will be an opponent selected.
===== UPDATE 2009-01-20 07:20PM =====
Anthony Kim has withdrawn from the Bob Hope. Since was one of my picks (actually my top pick), I have removed him and in his place will pick Bill Haas. Bill Haas, Jay Haas' son, has played well in this tournament over the past 3-4 years. He must be use to the celebrity style of the tournament having grown up with it with his dad's popularity. So even though he is a young buck, he is strong mentality.
Kim is not playing. He withdrew today.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up. I have now updated the post mentioning that Kim has withdrawn. Since he was one of my picks (actually my top pick), I have replaced him with Bill Haas.
