Always does well at Hilton Head. In his last eight visits Furyk has a tied eighth, a fourth, a pair of seconds and win in 2010. Coming off a top 10 in Innisbrook, a tied third in Texas and a good opening two days at The Masters, if there’s one man you need to hit greens in regulation it’s Jim.

The 2011 winner has a putting stroke to die for and seems to be back to full fitness after a much better week at The Masters. Sned played a poor final round last year to slip into a tie for 17th, as opposed to the previous year when he bombed around in 64 and won in a playoff against Luke Donald. You have to excuse his missed cuts in Bay Hill and Houston on return from injury and remember his February win in Pebble Beach. Rallied late to tie sixth at Augusta and wont be carrying a Major burden on his shoulders this week.
There are not many opportunities for a player like Brian Gay who struggles with his long irons, so this will be a week which he will have earmarked for a good payday. Gay is already a Tour winner this year at the Humana Challenge at PGA West in California and decimated the field here in 2009 with one of the best performances in winning I recall on the PGA Tour.
It’s really great to see Boo playing good golf again. A final round of 63 at The Tampa Bay Championship almost stole it from Kevin Streelman. Winner here in 2007 and 2008, those remain the only two titles of his career. Ninth in greens in regulation and fifth in total driving, I think Weekley will have a great week. Tied sixth last year.
