2009 Sony Open AimPoint PGA Tour Fantasy Golf Picks


Fantasy Golf Preview


I’m giving myself points for picking winners.  Hopefully my picks can help you win your fantasy golf league this season.  My goal is to get to 80 points for the season, or the equivlant of picking a Top 3 finisher or better each week.


Winner = 10 points

2nd Place = 5 points

3rd Place = 3 points

Top 10 = 1 point


2009 Fantasy Golf Preview Total:  5 Points


Last week: 


I’m off to a decent start getting 5 points for Kim’s T2 finish.  Villages looked good during most of the weekend after a dismal start.  Don’t ask what I was thinking picking Palmer.


 This week:


1. Zach Johnson


Zach has never finished better then 32nd at Waialae C.C. but did you see that 64 last week?  Zach is putting well which could mean big things this week for the 2007 Masters Champ.  Nothing more than a hunch, but two straight Top 10s to open the season is not out of the question.  Look for Zach to go low and be in contention on Sunday.


2. Charles Howell III


I’m going against the AimPoint Picks this week in selecting Howell III.  Charles has three Top 5 finishes here since 2002, including an almost win in 2007.  He seems to have a pattern over the last few years of a bad showing followed by a Top 5 finish.  Last year he finished T69.


3. Geoff Ogilvy


I know what you’re thinking, where was this pick last week?  Ogilvy is hot coming off the win last week but there’s other reasons to pick him this week.  Geoff finished T8 here in 2007 after missing four cuts from 2001-2005.  Two straight wins might be a stretch in such a deep field this week but a Top 10 is almost garaunteed.  Afterall is he is the top ranked golfer that’s playing this week.
