Fantasy Golf: The Greenbrier Classic

A quick post here as the tournament is about to start.
The Greenbrier Classic in West Virginia often throws up some surprise winners (Ted Potter Jr anyone?) and some low scores. Stuart Appleby shot a 59 in the final round to win the tournament in 2010.
A quick scan of the most selected golfers shows Bubba Watson coming out in front. He is in 54% of teams in Yahoo Fantasy Golf and 60% in AVIS PGA Fantasy. Holmes, Reed and Casey make up the next three spots in AVIS, while it's Casey, Reed and DeLaet in Yahoo.
This week the Group C list of players will be rather long. But I feel Tour rookie Tony Finau will make his way onto many teams. He's in solid form and knows that a good finish will grant him entry to the Open Championship. The C group can be a tough one to pick from as there are a lot of golfers to choose, but when selections go wrong it can set you back big time. Last week at the Travelers Championship both our C selections missed the cut (Na and Reed) so I'm just a bit hesitant to select them again.
So without further waffle, here are this weeks selections. As always, players are divided into Yahoo A, B & C groupings. This is the first tournament in the twelve week summer section of that game. While AVIS picks are given at the bottom, and Official PGA allows you to select any four golfers. Good Luck.

Fantasy Golf: The Greenbrier Classic

This week the PGA Tour heads to The Old White TPC at White Sulphur Springs in West Virginia. Last year saw Jonas Blixt come away the winner, but who can come out on top at the classic this year? If you ask me, its a pretty open field again, so I'm going to spread a lot of picks widely. It has been a slow few weeks since the US Open, but hopefully some of these names can challenge at the top of the leaderboard come Sunday evening.
As I said, one or two picks have been missing the cut in the last few weeks. I had a feeling Tiger Woods would not make the cut last week so I didn't put him in any of my teams. Surprisingly Jason Day missed the cut last week also, so returned no points. He had made 32 cuts in a row before last weekend, but has picked up an injury to his thumb and has withdrawn from this weekend. Anyone who does miss the cut though can sit back and listen to Maroon 5 who are playing at White Sulphur Springs on the Friday night! But for now, we are only interested in who will be around come Sunday Morning (obscure Maroon 5 reference).
So here goes the picks, good luck.

Group A
Daniel Summerhays
Patrick Reed
Bubba Watson
Gary Woodland

Group B
Brian Harman
Martin Flores
Michael Thompson
Brendon de Jonge
David Hearn
Bryce Molder

Group C
Ben Martin
Andrew Svoboda
Jimmy Walker
Steven Bowditch
Pat Perez
George McNeil
Brendon Todd
Tommy Gainey
Scott Stallings
Bud Cauley
Andres Romero
John Peterson
Stuart Appleby
